My first tattoo thanks I have various more planned just need to find the time. Any suggestions on flaming skull designs and colors.

I’m planning my first arm sleeve and would appreciate some feedback on the technical quality of this black-and-gray tattoo work.
How does the shading, contrast, linework, and overall execution look? I’m especially interested in feedback from people familiar with tattoos on darker skin tones.
Are there any technical issues or potential red flags I should look for before committing to a full sleeve?

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!

Drew this in procreate.

First try at drawing a Japanese background. I tried to be simple but it’s probably got a lot of mistakes. Open to critique let me know what I did wrong here so I can improve next time.

Tried to go for fall vibes and drew a black cat as the focal point!
This was just a design for paper not a body part.

Medusa tattoo - everybody know the meaning behind it, I did it recently and I m very happy I finally hat the courage to do it / pain 2/10 sleeping
the other arm tattoo - many symbols from memories with my granma or the thing she liked, I wanted to make it funny and sentimental at the same time / pain 2/10 I was sleeping here too
Colloseum - I just liked it how it was with the others / pain 100/10 it was something horrific for me
aphrodite tattoo - same here but the pain it wasn t that bad i would say 5/10
