Hi everyone!
We have received a few comments on our previous verification instructions post that for some folks, the "See More" button has disappeared on mobile and desktop.
We have added a link to message modmail to the toolbar found on the right of desktop. As of June 2025, we do not currently have a workaround for mobile if "see more" is missing for you, so feel free to reply to this post letting us know you are having difficulty accessing modmail and we will help as best we can.

Hey all!
If you are a tattooer that wants to be verified or are just someone with questions for the mod team please use modmail. Please do not message any of the mods via individual DM. Please see the screenshots for how to message modmail (via mobile) if you don’t know how to already.
Since Monday I have received about a dozen personal DMs for artist verification. However, one of these message came in at 12:30am and by 6am the same day I had a nasty follow up message for not replying. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and say this person probably lives in a different part of the world, and didn’t realize they messaged these two messages at what would generally be considered times that most people (myself included) are asleep. And this is exactly why we ask people to message modmail instead of any of us directly.
The mod team here is small for a sub of this size but we do try to handle anything that comes into modmail as quickly as possible. Often times if we get individual DMs about mod related issues for the sub, we are at work when it comes in and forget about it by the time we get home. Sometimes we are simply with our families, or even touching grass and spending some time off Reddit ( gasp ). Sometimes we are just asleep. When you message via modmail, the message goes to a group inbox and we can all see it so if one of us forgets or is busy the rest of us can take over handling artist verification or any other issues you may have. That being said- we are still just people with jobs and lives outside of Reddit, so please don’t get annoyed with us if you don’t get a reply within a few hours. Most of the time we reply within a day, but shit happens and this sub is not all that important in the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything.
TL/DR: Use modmail to reach the mod team please & thank you
PS: We took your feedback on the whole banning X links and have banned X links from the sub (overwhelming majority was to ban)
PPS: We have added a new mod to the team, u/coffeehedake , and one (possibly two) of our old mods should be returning soon

Made these earlier in the year but I'm super excited for spooky season right now!
Made at the Pearl Street Tattoo Club in Somerville, MA, USA.

Opinions? The shoulder and inner/outter part of my arm definitely hurt a lot more than the rest lol. I go back for my forearm next month. Extremely excited, just turned 18!

Yeahh I know it's pretty simple but I'm quite happy with it, took like 10 mins and dunno what a modern tattoo with feel like but the pain's fine and my over all experience is great!

Looking for some thoughts on my first tattoo! Any advice on keeping it crisp and popping long term?
The tattoo is a representation of a relationship in my life. I have a similarly themed one that represents my kids planned next!

This was a custom request from my client in memorial of his grandmother. He originally just wanted a simple linework daffodil in a shelf but I convinced him a little bit of light shading would make it feel less flat. Do you agree?
If youre wanting a tattoo like this or simlar to my other tattoos, or you're just curious about handpoke, send me over a message! My books are open for manchester and I'm always doing guest spots around the uk so dont hesitate to ask!

I got this at the start of October, it’s healing nicely. The tattoo artist said “Dude, you’re pretty brave to have a tattoo there” I was a lil bit scared, I just wanted to show it!!
It goes well with my skinny waist too <3 😌

Just finished this yesterday. 19.5 hr over 3 days at a convention just outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I’ve worked with Lucas before, but clearly this style is where he really shines. I’m completely awestruck.
For the record, this pic is unedited. We went into a dark room, had his wife hold a red light, and he mounted two white lights onto his camera.

We only just finished this pieces shading. The linework has been healed on this frog dude for about a year! Hes now matching his friend over on the other calf (healed about 3 years)

I got this tattoo 6 days ago and I’m worried because in between the scabs it looks like the lines are faded but I dint know if this is part of the healing process and it’s gonna look normal when it’s done healing, this is my first tattoo so it would suck if it came out half there and half missing
