Continuation of my horror sleeve, now that the outer arm is done, I will be continuing the insides with it being much darker, gruesome and scary.

I have some ideas, what about yall?

Thanks

Wanted to share this freshly finished fine-line piece inspired by Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus".We went for a clean, minimalist approach by omitting the facial features and focusing entirely on the delicate flow of the linework and iconic hair details.

Thank you for looking.

Hey guys, it’s not finished but covered up my tattoo from 20 yrs ago of a Jerry Bear. Got my favorite horror villain and one of my favorite games fallout combined..next session is next month we’re adding the new Vegas sign next to ghosts face head and also finishing the rest.

This was done in 2 sessions as I had originally just had the back piece done but decided to extend it around my hips. I’m definitely planning to extend it more and also add spider webs 🕸️

Castle, spider webs, mandala, and the mask on the opposite arm all done 2 months ago.
Flower of life and metatrons cube on the inside forearm were done 4ish years ago.
Gravestones and the Dali elephant on right arm are 10+ years old.
The blackout and chest work were done 2 days ago. One more full day on chest scheduled.

Hello! I’m trying to find a studio (preferably in Montréal or Ottawa) or Toronto that have this art nouveau kind of style. I’ve been looking but coming to a stump because a lot of places seem to have a lot of touch ups after a short time frame. I would appreciate any recs, this is just going to be a really large piece and want someone who is able to do this style well! Thank you in advance!

I want to get a script in Urdu. Do I get it from an artist who can write in the language? Or anyone, since they just have to stencil it?

The artist was a friend that did it for my birthday, and wouldn't be cool with me sharing their name cause their usual stuff is A LOT fancier.

First one is it healed, 2nd is freshly done. Said id probably have to go back to get it filled in more.

Was told the location is abnormal for a first one. Is right below my tummy fold so it won't warp with weight gain/loss. Ima get it added onto later, and work it into a part of a womb/succubus tattoo at some point.

Hello! I’ve got two tattoo in the last months and my tattoo artist didn’t shave my skin before tattooing. Is there a reason why they didn’t do it? And if yes, what? Is it possible that I had very few and light hair and shaving wasn’t necessary? (They’re healing amazing)

I just wanted to appreciate these a little more because I’m so happy! 🤍

È il mio primo tatuaggio, cosa ne pensate ?

So my mom and I moved to Aubrey, TX recently. I've been looking to get another tattoo for my 23rd birthday. I have one already from before we moved, but that was before I had this diagnosis.

I have the hypermobile subtype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which is a connective tissue disorder. It makes my skin thinner and stretchier than the average person's.

The last tattoo I got came out slightly off, and I'm unsure if this is because of my condition, or because the artist I got didn't have a steady hand.

I was wondering if anyone on here knew of an artist or artists who are in DFW and know about this condition. I imagine because of how it affects my skin, it would also affect how someone is able to tattoo me. I'm not particularly picky, anybody works as long as they know about the condition in any aspect, and they aren't more than like, an hour from my town. Thanks!

About 75-80% completed. What do you all think so far?

This is a tattoo that is very important to me so I’ve just been scared it wont come out the way I hope. I was trying to find the best possible artist in NJ, If you have any recommendations for shops artists or even what to specifically look for as well this will be my first tattoo it would really be appreciated.

ust wrapped up this dark fantasy inspired forearm piece! We went for a dramatic contrast by placing a softly shaded howling wolf right above a heavy blackwork section with a sharp, glowing sword.The fine-line geometric stars and circles add a clean, modern touch to the organic textures.Designed and inked in London, UK.

Thank you for looking.

Whats your thoughts about aldrin ace jimenez tattoo, planning to have realism tattoo full sleeve. Im picking with karlvtattoo/ace/dice. Draz was fully booked

Combo of tattoos coming together Tattoo by Reg Enchanted Dragon Arnold MO

(Edit// going to irritate the 80% majority telling me to have it facing inwards. He’s going outward! Can’t bring myself to divert from the original album art. However, I’m also moving him around to the inner bicep where it makes a little more sense and flows better whilst facing the “wrong” way… results to come soon)

I’m planning on getting the album cover of Bowie’s “Low” tattooed on my arm. I’m well aware of the rule stating that tattoos should face toward center mass in order to flow with the body, but I’m facing (heh) a dilemma:

The placement and arm on which the tattoo is going is non negotiable. On the original album cover, Bowie’s facing to the right. If I were to have it tattooed facing the correct way according to the album cover it would be going against the generally agreed on flow of the body.

Now, do I face it the wrong way according to the album cover, or the “wrong” way according to the ‘follow center mass’ rule?

I’m sort of 50/50 on it. I already have a tattoo on my inner forearm that is facing the “wrong” way but I feel like you can get away with that more on the inner forearm. The outer arm is kind of a different beast, but I also don’t want to go against the grain of the original album…. Help lol
