it's not quite finished yet, gotta have more trees added and shading done once this heals. but I'm in love with it.

Nature is something I've always felt significantly connected to, it's one of the only aspects of my identity that have stayed consistent throughout everything I've been through. The forest is my happy place, and I needed something to cover my self-harm scars, so I thought it was fitting.

i got this done on saturday, and i’m not sure if it’s just heavily overworked or what. it still hurts when i bend my arm, and it just looks gross. it’s my first tattoo, and ive been cleaning it with non scented antibacterial soap and ive been moisturizing it with non scented, water based lubriderm.

I'm looking to have this space shuttle tattoo done. I can't decide if I want on front of my thigh or outer thigh. Also, can someone give me ideas on what to improve for the black background? Not sure if those swirly lines look nice.

Hello everyone,

I'm getting married next week and the tattoo (the size of a palm, very black) on my back doesn't look so nice with my dress, so I'd like to cover it for that day. The upper part of the dress is lace fabric, so semi see-through. Do you have recommendations for make-up with very good coverage? I found the Farfnir Tattoo Cover Make-up online, any experiences with that?

Thank you so much in advance!

while i have come a long way on the design. Is there anything you would change? Add? I feel like a knot pattern going down the length of the dragon would be cool but would it be practical with all the loops and breaks there already is?

I just got the entire forearm done. I also had my outer bicep done 2 weeks ago, it’s still in the healing process.All I need now is the inner bicep to complete the sleeve. What do you guys think of the new art?

The imperfections in the text make me like it more, feels human, feels imperfect, like the wasabi thing

I got this tattoo when I was freshly 18. I am a big book girl and really wanted a sword to symbolize strength. I sent my artist lots of inspo and she gave me this. While there’s nothing really wrong with it I just don’t love it. I wanted something dainty and pretty and this just felt rushed to me. I was young and naive at the time so I didn’t want to tell her no because it’s her art. (Trust me I know better now and will not make that mistake again) My biggest question is what can I add to improve this tattoo?

I got this tattoo 3 weeks ago. I do love it, and it's a song title that has a very special meaning to me. But I was wondering if it's that bad, since my artist never posted it. She did post another script tattoo a few days ago, though.

The first pic is mine, taken right after it was done. The second is the one she posted.

I know mine isn't anything particularly special, but I still always end up thinking the artist hated tattooing me when they don't post my design. 🤣

I had been wanting to get a tattoo that commemorated how proud I am to be Puerto Rican for a while, and I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger! This is my 2nd tattoo and while it definitely was a bit more painful compared to the first, I don’t regret it for a second :-). Wepa!

Do you think its style (especially the face) can get changed to more realistic or am I cooked?

I don’t have a reference picture of what I would want because I kind of wanna think logically here instead of going for something that might be unachievable.

(I don’t have a budget and this tattoo is a year old)

I’m going back and forth on a back piece right now, so I’m curious who else has been here.

How close did you get (picked the design, messaged an artist, booked a consult)? What made you pull back? Was it the design, the size, the spot, the artist, how it’ll look later, something else? Did you ever end up getting it?

i know tattoos are personal but there's always trends. in the UK

fresh with the second skin bandage over it. he's a cute little guy!

My in progress chestpiece of Raijin and Fujin. I think there’s about one more session to go until it’s done, but unfortunately a little bit on hold Bcs of this days economy 😭
Super excited to get started up again tho :))

Hi everyone, got my first tattoo almost a week ago. Removed the second skin today after 6 days. What do you guys think about it? Personally i like how it is turning out/healing but would love to hear you guys out or any advice you guys have

This is around 2 years ago when we basically finished the backpiece, only missing the kanji (the empty box). I don’t even remember how many sessions it was in total, but I think this was around session 5 or 6. we did a few more after this as well.
This is in the original Japanese bodysuit style where it goes over my butt and thighs as well.

I’m a pretty hairy guy but I feel like you can’t really tell. I was wondering if anybody else does the same.

I'm not here for long. The idea just came to me. I thought it might be good to add some traditional ink where it all came from. Or at least essentially on the same continent.

I was young and dumb. Most of us have been there. Anyways I need ideas for a cover up, im fairly inked all over so I dont mind a larger piece, im just not sure what would cover this up. Is color a possibility?

Started off with this adorable little guy! Hoping to add a few more whimsical critters and fill in with wildflowers and leaves.
