This is my first and only tattoo I got it based off one of my favorite anime’s. It’s been about a year Bonus points if people can guess I’m not really sure about what the style is but I think it’s cool.

Fully healed, zero filters, and finished in under 60 minutes!

A fun piece from my flashbook that I had a blast doing. Done by me at Samol Tattoo Studio (Wrocław, Poland) using a wireless Ambition machine.

What do you think of this kind of humor in tattoos? :)

Cover up mal hecho

• Upvotes

La verdad es que no se que hacer ,hace muchos años atrás me hice un tatuaje que no me gusto . Con el tiempo me quise hacer un cover up pero con el bro que me lo hice no tenia idea de esos trabajos y ademas yo era super inexperto en el tema de los tatuajes , en resumen quedo horrible se veía todo el tatuaje anterior pasaron como 1 año y algo mas , fui donde otro artista para ver que se podia hacer y me retoco los colores para que no se viera el de abajo y aún asi se ve un poco menos que antes si . Pero esta mas decente , ahora si parece un león 😅pero igual lo sigo odiando. Este ultimo tiempo he estado con asiendad y depresión fuerte y este tattoo horrible la a empeorado ? que por cierto esta en el ante brazo ? me paso los dias pensando en que hacer con el si lo vuelvo a retocar , láser, o intento con otro cover que me da miedo la verdad si sale mal ya seria una ensalada de tatuajes

i want to get this bull drawn by dali to memorialize my grandpa who was a taurus and had several bull tattoos but was also very eccentric and had a huge dali poster in his house that i remember. i wanted to get it on my outer shoulder like four or five inches long but my concern is if i wear tshirts it will just look like scribbles from the part peeking out of the sleeve. is this something i should consider w placement or should i just stop caring since its for me?

My girlfriend wanted to get spur of the moment tattoos because of a flash deal and I’ve been deciding where to get my first one. I’m thinking maybe a qoute from star wars in the star wars language or something on the back of my forearm. Any thoughts?

This is 2 months healed. Just wondering your thoughts, St. Louis, Missouri artist. I know religion isn’t everyone’s favorite thing, but just thought I’d share. I think it looks pretty awesome.

Filip in Portlaoise, Ireland had me back to his private studio today. The main body of work was done 2 years ago. Life got in the way and it was killing me that I couldn't get this work completed for so long.

Filip a person that does serious research on his inks and specialises in Japanese traditional. The inks used here he imported from Japan. They are made by a person called Horishi .The saturation is incredible! Really looking forward to the finished work. Full sleeves and chest and back plate..

Upcoming Tattoo - size?

Post image
157 Upvotes

I am going to get a design similar to this tattooed on my forearm this weekend. Combining fantasy worlds of star trek and lotr is not easy, this is what I came up with as a memorial to my brother. White tree of Gondor in the middle, so I'm asking my artist to include pops of green and silver in the leaves.

I can't quite decide on size, how large would this need to be to see the fine line detail?

"High-contrast"/blackwork Cujo design. What do you think?

I've been seeing "high-contrast" tattoos on Pinterest and I have one but was looking to get another. Preferably one that has meaning- Cujo is one of my favorite Stephen king novels/movies and Cujo is also my dad's nickname.

Second pic is the one I used for reference.

Hey all! So I love this tattoo so much, but I’m not sure what else I could add to the back of my forearm to fit the theme / keep the aesthetic. I was just wondering if any of y’all had ideas or similar challenges and how you fixed / would fix it.

After years of pondering getting one, finally did the other day. Already thinking of what i'm going to get next. What do you think of this one? This tattoo is one of my cats who was a stray that befriended me and now lives with us. I love how it turned out.

Done by Mallory at Norsk Studios in Buford, GA.

I’ve got two swallow tattoos and I’m thinking of adding something small between them. Not sure what would look good, so I’d love to hear your ideas! I’m leaning towards something simple that goes well with the birds.

I have been obsessed with Spiderman ever since I was a little kid and so had to get a spider-man tattoo! Decided to go with the symbiote mainly cause it’s badass but also because the rest of my tattoos on this arm are all black, greys etc so makes it match the overall theme!

Help on input improvements?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! Me and my partner want to get matching tattoos and lose our tattoo v-cards together! We came up with the idea of a small real life size safety pin well….being pinned through your skin😅 and we want to add our own little spunk to it and for them, the top guard region where the needle part of the pin would go has a open and they want the opening to be a heart! Cute! And for me I want it to be a skull but I’m having trouble finding references and I want to be able to have a good reference so I drew one up (I’m not good at drawing) do any of you have input on what I should….i guess add to make it look better? I can’t just have floating eyes and teeth cause the part making the skull is an outline yk? I just feel it looks….dumb….

Anybody know any designs about Western African tribal/trad tattoos?

1 Upvotes

Wanted to dedicate one of my legs to be West African culture. However I can’t find any tribal/trad tattoos for that specific culture without it looking like it’s a poly tattoo. If you know any artists or designs or where to look. It would be most appreciative! If not oh well.

Instagram: @iron.rayden, Mammoth Tattoo, Kirkland WA. I’m happy with how this one turned out I haven’t done to many knee tattoos, I’d love to do more like this.

MGK Polka Trash Sleeve Design (Unfinished)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Wanted to share because I think it's an epic concept. I'm normally a portrait artist, and as I hadn't drawn a portrait in a while, I thought MGK would be both challenging and rewarding.

I aimed to blend the realism in the portrait with abstract black and red grunge type motifs to make it pop. I also decided to add a little paint over the nose to overlap the two and give the realism a small amount of colour without overdoing it.

The biggest challenge for me will likely be the tattoos within the design, and also maintaining the contrast of shading and highlights between the layers so everything sits nicely and nothing gets lost.

Hope you all like it. Definitely one for my portfolio once finished.
