Is my bathroom wall art ‘tacky’

Please settle a light hearted disagreement…Hubster says the new photo/poster I’ve put up in the downstairs loo will be considered ‘tacky’ by any visitors.

It’s the Mona Lisa but she’s holding her nose - you can see it on Google.

YABU - I agree with your Hubster
YANBU - it’s harmless

I’m not too sure I’d find it funny OP. Mostly folk will just be going for a pee?? and in that case are you commenting on the woman’s anatomy(?!) Maybe for a kiddies loo as it’d be a funny thing for kids. ☺️

Worse than tacky but it's not my house.

I love bawdy humour but that’s something I’d put in a men’s toilet.

Sounds Banksy inspired, is it ? Have you got a link please

Abouteffingtime · 11/06/2026 18:47

Isnt this what downstairs loos are for?

50Balesofgrey · 11/06/2026 18:48

Tacky, but not as bad as 'hubster'

SerendipityCat · 11/06/2026 18:49

Just googled it - sorry, but it's as tacky as hell. Don't do it.

Greyblankie · 11/06/2026 18:49

The local cafe has that pic in their bogs OP but Mona has a peg on her nose. My grandaughter found it hilarious

I have a picture of a bear sat on toilet reading a newspaper in my bathroom so I’m probably not the best person to ask when it comes to taste

Jackiepumpkinhead · 11/06/2026 18:49

Tacky, and ‘hubster’ is grim.

AnonymityAnonymity · 11/06/2026 18:50

Just had look OP.
She looks as though she has forgotten her hanky and is blowing her nose with her fingers. Pretty gross. I wouldn't like that poster in my home at all.

UpDownAllAround1 · 11/06/2026 18:50

I’ve got that! Makes me smile

I refuse to use the sickly ‘D’ reference!

I haven’t voted because while I personally think it’s tacky it’s also harmless. You should have what you like in your own house but as it’s your husband’s house too so there might be a negotiation to be had.

It sounds tacky. Like something from Temu.

I've been trying to find something for my kitchen wall but I just can't find anything that feels like its not some generic kitchen art from amazon or cheesy.

allthegoldicouldeat · 11/06/2026 18:50

Couldn’t get past hubster.

WhatMe123 · 11/06/2026 18:50

I love altered art like this but I do draw the line on toilet humour sorry I feel it jus gives me the ick

FrootyCider · 11/06/2026 18:50

I have a souvenir sign from Germany which says 'Ausfahrt' and points at the toilet. I think it's hilarious and if my guests disagree...tough! It's not their house!
Keep your picture! Nothing wrong with a bit of tacky sometimes.

A toilet is a great place for toilet humour.

In the hall i have a small framed picture of the Mona Lisa with a cat on her lap 🥰

He’s accepted it’s staying..he gets little say in decor options, not that he’s usually interested. He gets to decide on the more manly decisions around DIY etc.

DP works with someone who has
a “Man-u-loo” their downstairs loo is done in Manchester United wallpaper which I think is much worse than this!!!
he did it when his wife was away for a weekend and she came back to it / it would have been stripped the next day if that was my house!

Maybe husband then?

CheerfulYank · 11/06/2026 18:53

I think it’s funny, and usually I think most things are tacky
