Scratcher Pen

A small, battery-powered, rotary tattoo machine that uses cartridges instead of standard tattoo needles. Compared to standard rotary and coil machines, these machines are lighter, easier to use, and cost less, making them popular among amateur tattoo "artists" or scratchers.

While these machines do have their place and are useful for styles like fine line or tiny tattoos, the low price and ease of use makes them popular among amateur artists who really should not be tattooing anything.
Jim bought a scratcher pen off Amazon and started doing tattoos from his dorm room.

Scotched-Earth

To set blaze to the trail behind you. This can be used as an adjective, adverb, or verb, depending on the user’s fluency in acculturated hibbity-jibbity.

A mondegreen of “scorched-earth”, this iteration is believed to have evolved from military sandbox video games where young or mentally handicap-able players adopted the term through oral traditions. The lexicalization of the term occurs when the player believes it lends them a manner of respect as a well-read strategist. This term has not been uniformly adopted unironically by any known subcultures, which indicates that the rare users of “scotched-earth” may be experiencing developmental delays which impair comprehension or social cues.
“I’m not a pacifist, but I’ve personally found longer-term benefits from not going Scotched-Earth.”
“This clip from 2 years ago debunks your entire narrative. You made it seem as though he went scotched earth on the idea.”
