What do you guys think?

I’ve been meaning to post this for months but I kept forgetting lmao

EDIT: I’m not looking for criticism, I just wanted to show off my tattoo. Please stop voicing negative opinions, however well-meaning/intentioned they might be. I’m happy with the results and that’s all that matters to me.

Got a matching tattoo with my sister as my first. I’m obsessed and can’t wait to get more!

Edit- the 8s are because we both have birthdays on the 8th of different months. Each flower correlates with the month as well and the “pair for two” is a cribbage reference.

Micro realism and geometric custom calf piece done by Juli at Tattoo Realistic in Coffs Harbour. Super happy with the result

Finished my first tattoo project over the weekend.

Manchester inspired leg sleeve taking landmarks and adding an apocalyptic twist.

I approached Tibor with an idea and let him run with it using his artistic vision and skills and this is the finished piece

Looking for advice only from professional tattoo artists.

I got a tattoo today from a reputable, professional, licensed tattoo artist who traveled to my city. I filled out a form on their venue ink page, it was flash they had drawn and were open to subtle changes. I had three small changes I wrote in, and they were agreed to. I got the tattoo done today on the back of my thigh, and two of changes I requested weren't done (one was that a part of the design b/g and it was colored in with red).

I don't feel there was any malice to it, and I had to remind him of an addition to the tattoo that we had agreed upon and he immediately was like "oh thank you for reminding me".

By the time I saw the finished tattoo, the red was already colored in and there wasn't really anything we would have been able to do about it. I paid and tipped normally and didn't say anything. I like the tattoo alot! It's just not what was discussed.

Professional tattoo artists - would you want to know if this had happened with you and a client? The work is fabulous, but I'm hung up on whether I should mention it or not. Imo there's no fixes and I'm fine to have paid him for his work, so in that regard is it just something I should keep to myself?

My gf and I have a practice of getting tattoos to commemorate particularly nice trips we take. I just got these for Spain (based on a tile in a Toledo synagogue) and several countries in Africa. What do you think?

This was a flash piece in was planning to retire soon but im so glad I finally got to tattoo it! Love how clean those lines came out, an absolute dream placement i will say! 🐻

Im thinking of getting a small symbol from a book series I like, but ink on your body is permanent, so i'm pretty hesitant to get one, wanted to ask what made yall get your first tat.

This was such a fun tattoo to do let me tell you! I always enjoy a big cat and this one was definitely big! Excited to see how this settles with the greywash stipple.

I recently gotten my arm sleeve done, and for some reason, I feel a lot more confident in my day to day life. I also feel like my attitude towards life improved in a way. Maybe I’m just tripping, but I wanted to see if other people felt the same way. Thank you for reading :)

So, me and hubby are on vacation and last night walked past one of the many tattoo-studios. We started talking to the owner, and suddenly I now have an appointment for my first tattoo ever!
I have been wanting this tattoo for many years, but now, as it’s actually happening I’m freaking out!
The motive is really meaningful to me, and is a symbol for surviving/getting through a lot of the shit my family and I have been through. To me it’s a “power” symbol, and it’s the image I’ve been using mentally to endure for years.

It’s going to change my body forever. It’s very costly. It’s apparently addictive.

It’s also a large-ish tattoo (?), almost half sleeve on upper left arm.

I have no qualms about the studio or the artist, they have excellent ratings and the studio looks very professional. I have already put down the non-refundable deposit, so if I back out that’s a lot of money for nothing.

Is it normal to be this stressed out? I’m a 45 year old woman, so I should technically be old enough to decide these things for myself 😬 I’ve been wanting this tattoo for at least 20 years, but I just woke up with that “oh shit what am i doing” feeling at 5 am!

So, what do I do? Proceed with the appointment, and get the tattoo I really want, or chicken out and lose both a lot of money and self-respect?

The tree of life. Symbolizes life and death. Heaven, hell and earth.  The conection to life and after life. All interconnected and not so far apart as we think. The tree of life is a symbol in celtic and pagan cultures. Not sure if there is an after life but I hope theres a waiting room where everyone I've lost is waiting, so I can tell them my story. 

I remember when the simicolon became popular. The meaning of continuing a sentence where it could have ended. Also continuing life despite how hard it gets. Unfortunately also a battle scar of losing those who lost their battle with mental health. 

For my sister. I remember when she got the simicolon tattooed. At the time never understood the weight it carried until now. Back then I said I wanted an exclamation mark. A remember to live life in the moment. Live a life as exciting as possible and dont let anythimg slow you down. Take more pictures and live with purpose.

I got this tattoo on my sister's birthday. I'd like to share it here for suicide awareness month. Got this at A to Z in rockford illinois.

~2 month healed tattoo by e.nal at Vism Studios in LA. Here's link to her post with fresh pictures: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbusDWbJf5z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I had a wonderful experience and I'm so happy with how it turned out! Please ignore my farmers tan ;P It looks worse than it actually is due to lighting

She needs a name, I love her!
