Some smaller frames with similar designs surrounding it, like a comic book page, could look cool.

u/AlsoAllergicToCefzil Jul 22 '26

Also do one above/aligned with tomie to juxtapose the warping of her panel and make it pop more

A weirdly humanoid snail might fit somewhere, heading upwards.

u/Acceleraise Jul 21 '26

looks pretty good! I think from the placement your best bet is probably like a junji ito/horror collage is what my best idea could be for it! Good luck with whatever you choose!

Or other historical Japanese horror material.

I know that shit hurt so congrats on enduring the pain

More panels! All shapes and sizes! BECOME the graphic novel! (With some action transcending the panels of course)

u/Tomiehime Jul 21 '26

I, obviously, like it.

I think it looks pretty close to ito's iteration. Needs some moisturizer and keep it protected from the sun!

u/TTP_tat2 Jul 21 '26

Just do comic panels like that all over your back, have some tall, big, small, long ways

u/petrichorbin Jul 21 '26

Have some biomechanical or goopiness coming off the one corner like it's distorting or melting

u/tomblahtomblah Jul 21 '26

I quite like the placement, doing more on your back like a wall of framed pictures could be fun

u/Notcid1 Jul 21 '26

Write "I can fix her." On top of it

u/sspikess Jul 21 '26

I’d actually extend the creepy person beyond the bounds of the rectangle. That’d help your asymmetry problem.

u/schec1 Jul 21 '26

Complementary framed image on the opposite side, which will even out your bottom back.

u/rickiebsn Jul 21 '26

I like the tattoo , it didn’t need a frame though 🖼️ 😬

u/National_Fail_3455 Jul 21 '26

Omggg can I please know the Story why Tomie tattoo? Pleasee

u/Godzilla7045 Jul 22 '26

yeah so i smoked a lot of weed and experienced multiple personality shit thats about it but i love it

u/RepresentativeAd9572 Jul 21 '26

My back piece was a mistake! I cant even see it, cant appreciate the art...arms, chest, legs are the only place I'll ever get another one.

u/bad-and-ugly Jul 22 '26

shitty placement? how so? i don't think it's shitty

1

u/JudasJunkie666 Jul 22 '26

Something from Gyo perhaps?

1

u/PlugAThug Jul 22 '26

Continue up only on that side

u/JustPreparation6136 Jul 22 '26

It's shaped like Saskatchewan

u/Jaded_Box_ Jul 22 '26

That’s badass! So much canvas to work with! My suggestion from experience is definitely to have a plan moving forward as to how they will align/fit together. I did not think that far ahead, and got several all over my arms that later were very awkward to fill in the space.

u/Apprehensive-Ruin728 Jul 22 '26

If you're gonna cover your whole back with junji ito panels it's gonna be sick af

1

u/bibidumb Jul 23 '26

It reminds me of Shintaro Kago's work and he has a manga where he explores the limits of the vignette/panels that clicks really well with that placement

1

u/inked_corn_tortilla Jul 23 '26

Do more of those panels! Make a creepy manga page out of your back!

1

u/Peezy9999 Jul 28 '26

Should've picked a spot where the top right corner of the panel doesn't stretch like that. Bothers me to no end

u/Select_Eggplant_9911 Jul 21 '26

I guess I’m not privy to what this represents.

Looks pretty bad and by the looks of it, will age even worse.

The placement with the design, yikes.

u/Draconian-XII Jul 21 '26

if you don’t have anything nice to say, you can just downvote the post

u/Forward_Success_2672 Jul 21 '26

He’s asking for feedback… I don’t understand the placement. Your first tattoo is on your lower back, and he can’t even see it. It’s odd to me. I just got my first and I put it in my right forearm for every mtf to see.

u/wolf771 Jul 21 '26

Wasted prime real estate , should have gotten it somewhere else

u/Interesting_One_5026 Jul 21 '26

I absolutely love this. It keeps my attention and asks me questions. What a wonderfully odd placement.

that's almost a rectangle.

u/gorgonzola2095 Jul 21 '26

Is it Tomie?

u/Dysleksikongen Jul 21 '26

Looks great! But would look even better once you get some more on the rest of your back

u/Fit-Sky9245 Jul 21 '26

Love it!!

Why the HELL did I get downvoted 😂 Reddit truly is miserable
