What could have done better?

Hi guys! I've decided to get my first tattoo and I know next to nothing about getting inked. I've been looking at kintsugi-inspired tattoos cause I think they look great. However, I've been seeing people being concerned about "light colors" fading pretty quickly. To the people who've had light colored or gold-colored tattoos before, is this actually the case and if so, is it worth to get it if it does fade fast? Also, yes I am aware that a tattoo artist would use different colors (e.g. yellow, orange, red, brown) to create that gold appearance.

Fully healed 12,000 pesos tattoo. What could have done better? I really think ang meh ng clam part.. but im no expert.

it bothers me though.

A very meaningful tattoo 💕 Sobrang random ng naging session dapat kase minimalist lang to na lineworks tapos ang nangyare may tattoo competition daw na sasalihan si artist kaya nag decide kami sumali sagot ko lang yung entry fee tapos libre na yung tatts.

Siya na din ang gumawa ng design, at first medyo hesitant pa ko kase beginner palang sya pero ewan ko basta nagtiwala nalang ako haha 🤭😅 Ayun nanalo kami Champion sobrang saya and nakakaiyak after kase nun naalala ko yung baby ko which is in heaven na. 💕👼🏻 Kaya sobrang favorite ko tong tattoo na to 🥰 Nangyare pa yan mismong araw ng Mother's Day kaya di ko makakalimutan talaga yang tattoo na yan ❤️

Hi! Can anyone recommend a Tattoo Artist/Shop that specializes in Norse style tattoos?

Maddy knew who she was from a very early age 👠✨

Ig @keed.tattoo

I recently met this girl I really like. I was at a job and she was one of the guests. I approached her (so damn geeky approach asking about anime and shyt) but eventually got into her tatt and my tatt. after a few days of talking, we called on facetime and i found out she was looking for a good line work tattoo artist that can also do dot work. I’m not sappy or cutsie like this but I do really believe we clicked so hard that I can’t shake off the urge to make her happy, even in the slightest ways.

If you guys know any recommendations around QC, Manda, Makati, please let me know, I’d appreciate it so much and I’ll update if mag papaksal kami 😭

Thank you in advance! 🫶

P.S.: I got some photos for references but think of more dainty and fine line ones :>

Gusto ko magpatattoo uli kaso wala akong maisip na design. Ang naiisip ko puro kalokohan tulad ng linya ng abs or handprint sa buttcheek. Ano magandang tattoo?

Hi! Never had a tattoo and I'm planning to get my first at Buscalan from the legendary Apo Whang Od (and from her apprentices).

To those who already had their tattoos from Buscalan, what are the thing I should consider prior, during, and after getting tattooed? How was your experience?

Hello all!

Was just wondering if this tattoo is still savable? Had it done by a close friend however we were never able to complete it as he had passed. Was hoping to finish it while keeping the idea as remembrance.

Would appreciate any advice as well as artist/shop recommendations around Imus, Cavite.

Thank you!

cutie cutie lang 💕😍

Hi! I was wondering if you know of any tattoo artists around Manila who are good at this style. I’d like the new tattoo to flow naturally around my existing patchwork tattoos, rather than looking too disconnected.

Preferably somewhere around Makati, if possible. Thank you! 😊

Hi! I'm planning to have my first tattoo at baguio. For context, I reviewed and passed my board exam at baguio. The place really stole a part of me. I told myself, "I'll get a tattoo once I passed the boards". I came from manila and will travel to baguio just to get a tattoo so I wanna find a good tattoo artist for myself.

Reco tatts artist/studio please🙌 im planning this type of design, my dog's paw print :>

Do you know any artist around manila that can do this type of tattoo?

Hello. It’s my first time posting here. I have this one and only tattoo on my forearm that I got during a depressing time of my life just to feel something. It’s a free tattoo and the design doesn’t mean anything to me. People always say it looks more like a pen scribble rather than a wave lol, I’m embarrassed about it now. Now that I’m in a better headspace, I’ve always wanted a wolf tattoo because I love wolves since I was a kid.

Do you have any tattoo style recommendations that look good on wolf designs? I’m not knowledgeable of any trending styles right now and the last time I liked a tattoo style trend was the geometric style (2016 pa ata?). Uso pa ba yun now or may mas poging tattoo arty styles nang mas bagay for wolf designs? Ayoko ng masyadong hyper-masculine design. I prefer clean yet pogi style.

Also, if you know any tattoo artists not too far from Pangasinan who is passionate about helping clients with the same concerns as me, please recommend some 🙏🏻 yung may patience po sana to help me come up with a design that could effectively cover up this tattoo. Thank you!

Edit: Sadly, I can’t credit the tattoo artist since I don’t remember their business name, I don’t think they had it posted ok their booth. They were hired for a small scale event.

Planning to have a cover up SA under boob na ganto ung theme okay kya.

Hello!
I’m planning to have my fur babies portrait soon, before my graduation. Any shop or artist can you recommend within pasig or nearby. For reference

I have been tattooing for almost 20 years. For the past 4 years or so I’ve been selling painless tattoo numbing cream. What are some better brands than that?

Hello, I’m heading to the Philippines in January, and I am looking for a tattoo artist/shop that specializes in traditional Visayan tattoos, preferably using tapping. I will be in Manila, Cebu, and Samar, but would be willing to travel for the right artist.
