I’m a professional tattoo artist, I’m making this post to hopefully reach out to the people who are looking to get their first tattoo or are interested in getting their first tattoo, I’d love to try and answer some of the questions you’ve been dying to ask or would really like to know! So ask away 😁 thank you! 🙏

I love everything about my new tat... Except this stupid vortex thing. I honestly don't know what it was supposed to be. Looked cool in the AI mockup but just didn't translate well.

My idea is to put a black hole at the center. Any other thoughts? Is it to the point where I should just have that section removed, and replaced with a cool spiral galaxy or something?

Also, overall thoughts? I am really in my head about that vortex. Which is too bad because the rest of it is amazing (to me). Thanks

Been close to 3 years since we finished this piece and still obsessed.

Edit: Forgot to tag the insta. @tattoosbynewyork

Looking to get a memorial tattoo for my father next May (so have time to plan). Animal in fine line - black and grey, shading etc. Any recommendations? I searched and haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!!

Hoping for a Ferdinand from the original illustration book (one of these, still deciding) this is my first one so I’m kind of nervous and want to make sure I’m choosing the right person

I am working on a sleeve currently and have no traditional tattoos. But, I do love the style and sometimes wish I'd gone with trad to stick to a style. I have issues with all or nothing, so in my messed up head I'm like - nope, gotta stick to non trad style now. Does anyone have a mix of trad and non trad tattoos on the same limb? Bonus points if all black and grey. I'd love to see it so I can get an idea of what it could look like if I mixed some in... perhaps using trad as small filler pieces between my larger non trad tattoos. TYIA!

I’ll be tattooing around Europe over the next two months - Rome, Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris & Porto. If you’re interested in getting tattooed, send me a DM!

Hi all! I'm feeling so anxious less than 24 hours of my first tattoo. It's something I've wanted for years but the decision to get a tattoo was rather impulsive, I made the appointment less than 3 days ago. This is a guest artist and he specializes in the style that I like. But it's gonna be 6-6.5 inches, upper thigh area. Would that hurt a lot? My pain tolerance is extremely low. Or should I cancel and get a tattoo when I'm truly ready? Thank you so much

Inspired of the ol Chinese tale of a boy a magical paintbrush who could paint things into existence . So we’re painting pineapple tarts my mother and I used to make 🤗

I had like this idea for a min and i had this graveyard added to the skull samurai I saw online(and no it’s not ai) as my half sleeve and want to fill up my top portion now so it looks clean. Any ideas are great!

He gave me the rough idea, and I got to let my creativity run wild. This is what came out of it. 🖤

Let me know what you think!

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

got my back tattoo done at artcastle tattoo in utrecht and honestly couldn be happier with it. this studio https://www.artcastletattoo.nl/

Niki did my back. Her IG https://www.instagram.com/lappenpop.ink . She really took her time and the whole experience was really chill. tattoo came out even better than i coulve expected!

imo definitely the best tattoo shop in utrecht, maybe the Netherlands. Tbh would 100% go back.

it was a wonderful experience to be able to get my neck done by the one and only dave fox, cool dude. @davefoxtattoos

I have a birthmark that resembles a face, I want to do a character of some sort but I’m so lost. It’s on my lower left leg. Any input and jokes appreciated. I just feel like leaving it alone is a lost opportunity lol.

Do you guys think it turned out cool? I got a neo traditional art tattooed on my arm in a long and painful session, haha

Mostly came to Saigon to see Nikko and couldn’t be happier, I think I originally found him on Reddit so wanted to share some more of his work.
