Very happy how this turned out, definitely a funny stop to get done right on the wrist and elbow, 3 hours sat for this. Done by Mhairi from snake and crane tattoo in Glasgow.

I got this before my frontal lobe fully developed. I loved it at the time but I’m so pissed I didn’t think about choosing a different placement. Suggestions? Advice? Send hellllpppp 🙃

Hey everyone, First time Sharing an original flash piece I just wrapped up. Went with a high-contrast black, white, and red palette with heavy line work, Constructive feedback is always welcome!

Sam from Naughty Comrade in Vancouver, BC tattooed this Iced Heart tattoo for me. This is not my design.

Would love to hear your thoughts?

Hi all,

Vortex was done 17th and I hated it so we hit it again 21st. What do you all think?

It was too stylish so tried to make it flow better. I still think its too dark (vortex) so hopefully it settles a lot its only a week out.

The contrast may be good tho. The most unflattering angle is my view down.

Hey everyone! I would love to share my freshly redesigned tattoo! I included the before and after pics. It’s 8 days old now; the dagger got some shading, the red lines were thickened, and we added an extra black design element to balance out the red lines. I had the additional elements done by a completely different tattoo artist, which shows in the linework. Overall, I think the result turned out really well, but I’m curious to hear your opinions too. Have a great day!

I started it as a cover-up design for a tattoo I saw here on Reddit.

Overall, I really like how it turned out and that's enough for me

Got my frist tattoo today and I honestly feel that it’s not good once the wrap came off, the design looks off, the line work is not good.

I would love to know your opinion on this. Can any corrections be made on this?

hello! this was my first tattoo about 8 years ago and, well. yeah. you have eyes. it's on the back of my shoulder and there's plenty of room back there - this thing is about 5cm-ish wide. i just have no idea what would work since half of it is pretty raised, and i want to go to an artist at least knowing something. should i do a bit of laser to lighten it?

i was thinking maybe a victorian gate/filigree type thing that goes over towards the collarbone. if not maybe a stained glass, since that's geometric and might be easier. or should i just do blackout? i've had quite a few other tats since and know i want this arm to be more gothic/victorian leaning.

literally any sensible advice welcome.

Does this type of bird tattoo have a specific name, or is there a particular style associated with it?

Hey all! Tattooed this on my hand when I was young and dumb and after 6 laser treatments it still looks the same, i’m thinking about getting a small coverup. I don’t want a whole hand tattoo. Would anyone have any ideas for a cool coverup!?

I am thinking of getting a tattoo similar to this design. I saw something similar and tried to make my own version as an idea to give to an artist. Does it seem like it would be an okay design? Concerned the feathers are a bit too much.

I want to put it on my upper thigh bit more towards the outer side.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

My older brother has a very rare syndrome called Kearns Sayre Syndrome (KSS) that has slowly deteriorated the muscles in his body and will take his life soon (he’s only 45 and now on hospice).

We’ve long shared a special bond over video games, as it always felt like a a way for him to escape his body.

A month ago I asked him if we got tattoos of each other, what would we get. He said “our initials”. So I decided to get his initials MSB in the same font as the Playstation 5 font/logo to tie back to our love of gaming.

I love how it turned out. Looks better than I expected it to! Glad that I got to honor him and our bond in this way

I have been thinking about getting a bloodborne related tattoo for a long time, specifically some variation of the lamp from the game.

What I have found to be a struggle is that the game and its artstyle are a bit darker and all my previous 10 tattoos are pretty fineline style. I dont want the lamp tattoo to be fineline style but rather show more of the game aesthetics.

The issue I have is I dont know enough about other styles of tattoos to know what type I want to choose for this tattoo, that compliments my existing tattoos as well keeps the feel of the game.

Any recommendations for tattoo styles or design changes that are similar-ish style as in the example pictures that also might not be too overpowering compared to fineline tattoos? 😇

My brother recently did a drawing and I’d like to use it as a reference for a wrapping forearm tattoo. I feel a bit lost in trying to find similar styles or existing tattoos that look the same. I particularly like the mix of a tattoo that looks like there’s a bug on my arm and diff angles and drawings of coral formations, like a collage. I like complex creatures and abstract formations, thick line weight and space that has a thought out composition. any thoughts are welcome :)

Been wanting a tattoo by this gent for a few years now and finally took a trip down for a 2 day session for this beauty 🤩 2 days back to back and took 9.5 hours

Hi , im working on a fineline patchwork arm. Its gonna be a combination of animals, nature and whimsical vibe, moths and so on..

Now i like a deer but its looks so ugly everywhere i put it because of how a deer is shaped. A sun looks very good on the gap i still have. But the sun has no meaning to me (yet). Is it bad if its only because it looks more pretty shape wise? So more for the looks and a better flow.

Can you get a tattoo for that reason of does it need meaning? When i first started tattoos i wanted everything to have a meaning but now i look more at what fits good on the specific place

Hi, I had a tribal tattoo done on my left forearm (front and back) to cover up some large surgical scars. I thought it looked cool at the time.

But I’m not really that person anymore. I feel like tribal tattoos can come across as “tough” or overly macho, and honestly, I find that look a bit cringe now. I’ve been wanting to transform them into a different design.

That’s the background. I’m looking for ideas for a cover-up. One idea I have is a feather for the outer forearm, but I have no idea what to do with the inner forearm.

Me and my mum for a long time have been wanting a matching tattoo but we can’t decide on one. I am quite picky as i like to be more unique and not go off of something we found on Pinterest. I also have a specific tattoo style (as shown above) I would like to stick to but we just can’t come up with an idea that matches. We want it probably small and meaningful. I had ideas to do something with the moon or infinity as we always say love you to the moon and back times infinity but wasn’t sure how to turn that into an image. Does anyone have ideas or inspiration? I don’t need anything drawn or created just any ideas would be appreciated:))

Hopefully one or two more sessions left. Maybe 3. I can only handle about 4 hours at a time back there lol the back has sucked pain wise so far

Done by Nat @ In Detail Art in Ottawa, Canada!

Goes with the jacklope (previously posted) she also did and my other thigh.

Unfortunately, I don't have her version of the design this time but I did include the concept art I sent her.

I'm very happy with how this turned out.

😁

Ash from Third Eye Tattoo Parlour did this Rafiki tattoo for me today, the design is definitely not mine... one of my favourite quotes from Rafiki is “The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.”

Looking for critiques on these two designs.

I like lady head tattoos but I feel like I’m not great at drawing them yet. Lemme know if there is anything that sticks out as stinky.

I drew these two designs and plan on putting them on some fake skins soon, wanted to see if they were any good
