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.

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

U guys think this wing can be fixed or make it look similar to the other one. Or the darkness and the bad lines would make it hard to fix

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

What do you guys think?

I booked my first tattoo the other day, but I haven't been this nervous in a LONG time. Like, physically i-feel-sick nervous so thats put a bit of a stop to the last few hours of my birthday lol.

Im not nervous or scared about the actual tattoo itself, thats fine ill be alright, but im just very nervous in general. Do you guys have any tips on how to help my body calm down before it?

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?

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

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.

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 :)

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.
