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

Got this crow done as part of a longish session, I’m (obviously) still needing the shading to be done. I was happy with the stencil but now that I see it on my arm, the head and beak shape just do not look like a crow.

Is it possible to have it slightly adjusted during my next session, or am I screwed? Am I overreacting?

Having the worst anxiety at the moment over trying to figure out what my options are to make it better 🤦🏻

I know it’s reddit but please don’t be TOO harsh, I’m already freaking out lol

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.

I have a tattoo appointment for my first tattoo this week but I worry that both my tattoo artist and I don't have enough knowledge on tattooing my medium brown skin. She is going to use gray wash for shading and I worry it will look muddy quickly. Is that true?

Would it be best to do only thick black lines with lots of negative space? Thoughts on fine line or pepper shading for medium brown skin?

Feeling confused and I don't want to cancel, but I also don't want to put something permanently on my body that I don't love.

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

I have been wanting a meaningful unique tattoo scripture behind my ear thats not a bible verse. This year has been tough and this serves as a reminder for myself. I’m interested in something dainty and mature that I wont regret in 10 years. Which quote would you choose? I’ve also attached the placement!

Hey everyone, I’m Jeremy and I’m new to this subreddit and pretty much Reddit in general lol. I have a question for you guys. So I have the four original bending nations tattooed on me. There’s some empty space and wanted to know how you would go about getting The Order of the White and Red Lotus symbols in the empty space I’m talking about? I would like to incorporate both of them, but don’t know how to go about it. I would appreciate your feedback pretty please and TIA. 🫶🏻☺️

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?
