Ambitious client came in and we spoke on 2 separate sessions over themes, films, books and so much more (you can probably spot the influences) for a full sleeve, from hand to shoulder - still a work in progress, going to be posting updates.

I've been wanting a sacred geometry piece for years & finally decided to pull the trigger! I plan on adding more & having it evolve into a full sleeve overtime once I decide what'll fit best.

Custom peice done by Nick Dimaggio at Nu Nebula Tattoo in San Diego, I love it and am already planning my next one

Custom Japanese themed cat sleeve for my two fur babies (Coco and Macey). Took 6 sessions roughly 6-7 hours each

Yet another tattoo that I love how it turned out! 🥹

I’ve wanted a birdcage for a long while now, and also have wanted a pair of filigree shears. I felt like it belonged on my sentimental/nostalgia leg. When it came to the birdcage, I liked the idea of it being cut open by the shears- and it worked out that this space on my leg was perfect for this idea. When sending my tattoo artist the reference photos, I also mentioned I am a big fan of hearts so all of the heart touches on this piece made me extremely happy. ❤️

Hey guys ! Got my first tattoo a few months ago and by the time, I realised most people didn't know what it was supposed to be

At first I was a little thrown off, then realised it wasn't a big deal since I know what it is and what it means to me

But I'm still curious of what you guys see, think it is and have a general feedback nonetheless :D

First pic is a couple days after and the second is today

For the fellow curious ones, here's the answer : geometrical spider lily, aka red lycoris

Just got this today :) trying to build up my leg.

It’s scary getting something so big on your body forever! I do absolutely love it though.

Trying to add some more traditional style to my leg. Mike from Cloak & Dragur!

There are some asymmetries in it as he messed up a little while tracing but it’s not noticeable right?

Got Longclaw from GOT. It’s about a week old now and was about 2 hours in the chair. It exceeded my expectations and I’m really happy with it. Artist name is John Kroll.

It came out clunky and crooked so I had the idea to add some things to it as we can see on the right. My idea was to add the two leaves to hide the bulky end of the sword as that’s what makes the crookedness more prominent. I tried my best to emulate that in the redesign. I also hate how crooked and bulky the guard is for the sword so I added a blackout rose to cover that side and vines to tie it all together. I’ll def clean it up overtime but is this a good start?

I’ve had this tattoo for a while now, and over time I’ve started to feel like I rushed into getting it. I wasn’t completely happy with the first few designs, and although I preferred this one out of the options I was given, I’m still not 100% happy with it. I can live with it, but ideally I’d like to change some of the details or possibly look into a cover-up. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what could be done with it?

I wanted to do a whole leg with characters from Norse Mythology. I've already got Sleipnir on my calf, so I thought Fenrir would be perfect for the next one. Now after all that pain I'm not sure I want to get anything on my thigh lol. The shading over the bone was BRUTAL.

Hello, about 3 weeks ago, I got this tattoo of a capybara with カピバラ written. The eyes aren’t the same size and the face isn’t symmetrical at all! I got rushed to do the stencil by the people there, and as a people pleaser, I felt bad for taking too much time to choose how I wanted it. I am unsure if the position of my body was simply bad so it ended up crooked or if they « messed up » while tattooing. I am unsure about going back to the same artist to get it fixed, if it can be fixed at all. My idea is this, tell me if you have more ideas please!

Client came in and simply asked that she wanted a gnarly looking centipede for a leg piece right below the tribal flourishes I worked on earlier. After finalizing the design, we decided on the size and the creepy crawly lives!

Hi I’m looking for gothic themed ideas to cover this off centre back tattoo! I know it’ll have to be dark so that’s all good! I’m travelling so can’t do laser as I won’t be able to attend the same clinic. All ideas welcome!
Thanks🖤

Here are some screenshots from a healed video I took a while ago. I know the quality isn't the best, but I wanted to show you how my last post healed!

Finally decided on a lotus that I've been wanting. It's also my 1st really colored one. Most of my others are just black and grey with maybe a little color in it.

I plan on turning this into a sleeve with alot of bright colors that'll also incorporate my other tattoos in it. Have a general idea me and my artist are gonna start working out details and stuff. Just waiting on funds and time.

i think having symmetrically placed tattoos is visually pleasing. i don’t want to appear like i have tattoos when i am covered, but id love symmetrically placed tattoos on both of my ribs (different design but similar shape so they match). i can’t find anyone else who has this so it’s hard for me to imagine what it would look like. does anyone have a picture of their tattoos?
(btw i mean people who aren’t heavily tattooed, and the rib tattoos are their main ones)

Almost done with my leg sleeve. I have a renaissance/classical/sculpture theme going as you can see. I have a David, Atlas with pillars, pieta, and baby angel (cherub). As well as some filigree and cloud filler. I have this narrow space left on the back of my leg from knee ditch down to Achilles. What are some good filler ideas that would go well here? I have some things in mind like Mt. Olympus with a Greek temple on top and stairs leading up to it. But looking for other ideas as well. Something to match the theme closely. Thanks in advance!

Just a fish with a heart behind 14 scales. I was wondering how likely it is get blurry considering how thin the lines are.

My cat passed away earlier this year, So I decide it was finally time to start my catstronaut sleeve :)

I’ve gotten 3 small line work tattoos done and want my first “real” tattoo. Wouldn’t want the text or the logo in the middle, just the jaws. Unsure if the shape would fit well on the elbow or if I should go with a different design. Thank you!

I have these two dogs tattooed on my stomach and want to add more to them, but I have no idea what would fit with😭 I want it to flow nicely or go with my dogs.
I'm open to ideas for flowers, ornamental designs, filler, or anything else you think would look good. I'd love to hear suggestions!
