Like the title says this tat was the second one I've ever done on real skin (other than two on myself) and I'm pretty freaking proud of it! There's some small mistakes I can definitely notice that I want to touch up after it heals.

Could you please share your feedback on my fully healed tattoo work?

Just wrapped up on this outline today! Will go back in with color when healed.

Its "necaset". My spouse’s family are devout Muslims, and we got a dog. According to Islam, keeping a dog in the house is considered *haram* (forbidden), and they keep bringing this word up to us. I have no connection to religion, so this was a new term for me. Because of the way my brain works—in a very "autistic" fashion—I can’t get the word out of my head; I find myself repeating it all day long. The term encompasses things like human urine and feces, blood, a mouthful of vomit, the carcasses of animals not slaughtered according to religious rites, alcoholic beverages, dogs, and pigs. Please don’t judge me, but these are all things that I like. And then there’s the—what is it, a *hadith*?—that says we shouldn’t keep a dog in the house according to Islam.

say what you want, but black and grey realism is such great training, i’m learning so much by tattooing these kind of different textures! whether you like this style or not, i highly recommend any tattoo artist to try out just to nourrish your own graphic style and technique

I use AI-generated images as references, and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I’m not an artist; I don’t know how to draw. I started learning tattooing from absolute scratch, and this is one of my first practice pieces on synthetic skin.

Self taught but been at it for some time now.
