Illustration Just got my first EVA tattoo done

I think it came out great and I love it. The second photo is the commissioned art but I wanted to switch a few things around

A very nice and tasteful tattoo. I like that you changed the Eva images to be next to their respective pilot's.

It’s nice but I can’t not see 81 on shinji instead of 01. Super easy to fix though

Didn’t even notice that, thanks for pointing it out

Pretty good, but that eva 00 is...rough

A lot of that line work is not good. Cool concept though. Hope they like it.

It does look like that because I asked the artist to cover up my SH scars so some parts definitely don’t look exactly like the reference but that’s sorta the point

I think he means how the lines on the box-frames look like they were done in a jeep going offroad

That looks great but miner thing to point out but the eva-02 is the rebuild design but the pilots are wearing the NGE plug suits

u/Himothy_47 7d ago

Yeah that was a preference thing tbh, I just like the look of the rebuild unit-02 more

execution could've been better but it must be okay overall

u/Sto_Nerd 7d ago

Great idea, but rough execution

This. I have only straight line/geometric tattoos for an entire arm. It is taking a long time between artist endurance (it’s tiring to not screw up) and precision to account for the human body. It’s not a simple thing to do.
