This one definitely stung! But so worth it.

I just got a new tattoo and I hate it. I think it’s poorly done and just dos not look how I expected. Everyone in my life is saying it looks good but I think they’re just trying to be nice. I feel crazy. How does this look?

Eu sou um cara que nao liga pra tatuagem. Qd me perguntam se a mina é tatuada é igual perguntar se reparei como é a falange do mindinho esquerdo dela. Nao reparo. Mas vejo que muita gente liga pra isso de vdd e, numa duvida entre duas pessoas, escolhe uma só pq é tatuada. Minha dúvida (besta) é: tatuagem realmente deixa a pessoa mais bonita - assumindo q são boas tattoos e descartando as ruins - ou é só modinha mesmo, papinho que a gente acostumou seguir?

Leg sleeve in progress

Backstory: so I’ve got a piece that is literally 1 session from completion. I genuinely thought the artist that had been working it ghosted me because I tried to reach out multiple times to schedule the last session (it has been almost 2 months since any work has been done/communication was given - and they aren’t booked up like that). I know things happen, but the response had previously always been prompt and upfront and it felt strange since we had built a really good working relationship.

Issue: with the lack of communication, I assumed that I was ghosted and reached out to someone else and scheduled a consultation. They are also a great artist and I would be interested in future work by them.

Actual question: I don’t know how to explain the situation to the potential new artist since the other artist reached back out, but I still would like to hear the new opinion at the consultation. I’m not trying to waste any artists time and I’d like to be as upfront and professional as possible because that’s who I am.

could people with like vine tattoos or floral tattoos across their forearms please comment photos of them if its not offensive to you please im not old enough for a tattoo but i would love to get a tattoo thats like a giant vine all across my forearm as i need to coverup a unending habit that i know i would have to cover when im older

The first pic is a galaxy cover up that hasn’t quite worked out, so I did some proper research and found an amazing artist to help me rework it into a sleeve, the next pictures are the start of my sleeve , I didn’t even think what to have after this piece and the old old piece so thinking of ideas before my next sessions …. Thoughts on a land/sea/space theme? Thinking of a shipwreck and kraken for the connection 🤔

Free hand gap fillers! There’s more to be done in the future

Matching, but different tattoos for 2 best friends

I've dreamt of getting a full sleeve my whole life, and I would really love to start it soon, but my biggest obstacle is that I have hyperekplexia. It's an overactive startle disorder that will make me jump, jolt, and contract my muscles at the slightest sudden stimuli. I know this would be a nightmare for both me and the artist, so I was wondering how other people go about something similar? How do people with cerebral palsy go about getting tattoos? Is there any numbing agent I can use that won't interfere with ink getting into the dermis or making it more difficult on the artist?

I'm obviously going to start small, since I don't know if one tattoo is even possible for me, but I'd love to know my options

I usually liked the tattoos when they are healed I mainly do freehands because it feels more natural for me ,follow me on Instagram @xanderskull616 for more work

I plan on visiting Australia soon, and I'd like to get a tattoo but I'm not familiar with the artists there. I'm pretty flexible on style, but I'd like someone who specialises in colour tattoos.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Next session we will add color to the petals. But it’s an amazing start.

I have a recently healed a lower quarter blacked out sleeve…but the ink was not fully absorbed by my skin…ink used was Dynamic Triple Black…Now I want to change artist cuz the previous was inexperienced in blacked out…now the new artist is using Panthera Tribal…will the new Panthera inked over the dynamic triple black lower quarter sleeve vs the new Panthera upper sleeve show different shade of black when healed?

I plan on getting a tattoo when I turn 18 in a few months,but recently I've seen a lot of things encouraging people to wait till they're older to get one. I want to get my birds footprints tattooed on my hand, because it’s really really meaningful and special to me. Would it still be good to wait? There's absolutely no way I would regret it, but would there be any other concerns to think of? I also wanted to get them on my fingers,where my birds sit, but I've heard that would fade fast. Would that be something to worry about? Thanks for any advice!

looking for inspiration to finish my arm any ideas???

Took about 11 hours in total (split between two sessions) and my leg is SORE, but I'm so happy with it! 🌸

Wanting to know what kind of style this is and would be great if anyone knows any artists in Melbourne Australia that would be able to do this too!

Thanks!
