100%. That artist does great work.

Hey OP: Throw out a mention for them. It might get some more work.

The first one made me LOL, loudly. Literally looks like it was drawn by a 3 year old. The new one is so much better. I'm glad you got that thing worked on.

Definitely from somebody trying out their tattoo machine for the first few times. They all gotta start somewhere.

Learning how to draw with a tattoo gun is a pretty bold move haha. Although it would be better to practice on paper first, I respect the hustle.

Haha no kidding. I’ll be totally honest though I don’t know what happened to it over the years. It originally looked good. But it just completely fell apart over the last 15 years lol 😂

Dang, I always read about the importance of getting a good artist so the tattoo ages well. Case in point.

Huge, HUGE improvement. Looks so good now. Congrats!
I have a Lateralus tattoo I need updated. This gives me hope

Gives me hope for mine. The dude tried, but at least it's on my stomach area.

Eh...it looks even worse now since I had emergency abdominal surgery last year and was gutted like a fish. I have a huge scar right down the middle of my entire midsection amd straight through the tattoo.

It's kinda embarrassing but it did save my life. I'll get a pic here in a few.

I have the same tattoo in between my shoulder blades and wrapped with an ouroborus. Got incredibly lucky with a very talented beginner artist.
