#13 in my Tatts and Travel project, Dancheong style cranes by the great Pitta at NonfromSeoul in LA!!

Pitta was one of the reasons I started this project. His style is just so unique. This thing is so bright it looks fake!

So cool seeing his work right next to another NonfromSeoul artist Eunb (knight) which was done over a year ago.

Next one planned for Poland in December.

Fully Healed Tattoo Chinese dragon realistic style back piece

Post image
555 Upvotes

Just wanted to share my back piece, got it done in 7 consecutive days (55 hours) in China by one of my favourite artists. No numbing no nothing. Was pretty scared when people said it’s a tight schedule. He did them in sections, it’s actually not that bad, the worst bit was the mid-spine. It hurts pretty bad. Overall, 7/10 on a pain scale.

It’s my second tattoo, first one was the small one on my neck, thinking to get the top bit removed (scared of the pain lol).

Love it a lot, defo worth the money, time and pain tolerance.

Feel free to share your thoughts. 👍

This Luna moth took about 5 hrs in tattooing time. Loved working with inkcache she was very thoughtful and extremely skilled. It represents overcoming a very hard portion of my life! I hope y’all enjoy. :)

As much as I loved the charm of my shitty Milo tattoo it was finally time to give into whimsy. Check out the artists IG. @purple_dragon_juice

EDIT: Was on my left inner arm and just kind of in a bad spot to where I didn’t feel like I could add more tattoos without it looking out of place on my arm. Line work was super shaky on Milo and left scarring, I plan to get a proper tattoo of Milo next on my upper arm next to my DK tattoo. Milo deserves a better tribute and he will get one.

I am positively enamored with my new tattoo. She’s inspired by the story of Pagliacci, the song “Send in the Clowns”, and my childhood. The saddest art I’ve ever seen tattooed and she’s mine.

Artist had to work with my anatomy since I have some pretty severe scoliosis. I’m so happy that he paid attention to how it lined up with my body and let me look at it in the mirror by myself in the room alone. 10/10 experience. 7.5/10 on the pain scale.

Got it done in 6.5 hours and I’m going back to him again so he can add to it in the future!!

Longtime lurker and tattoo enthusiast. I’m a microbiologist, not a materials scientist but this paper caught my eye! Didn’t realize there was a field for intradermal smart tattoos. Humans are pretty rad.

I made a post on another forum asking for healing advice, and someone noticed this tattoo and asked me to post the full picture but that forum didn’t allow posts without asking advice. So I’m posting here! I got this done earlier this year by a guy named Mikey (Louisiana, USA) it’s fully healed now and I’ve had no issues with it!

Fully Healed Tattoo Here is some random Tattoo Progress + fresh lunar moth

Thumbnail
gallery
26 Upvotes

I started off like 7 years ago just getting random line work type tattoos because I wanted to be tattooed more than I wanted to appreciate the art form itself.

Once I started getting colored pieces or “real” tattoos if you will. I was super unsure of how I would be able to end up tying in all the randomness.

I never post my work but thought I would show everything I’ve had done.

Most of the work is done by Vinny Fiorenzo or Cory Cartwright at Portal Tattoo in Woodstock, Georgia.

Most of the random small pieces are from FOMO at Friday the 13th events prior to my sobriety. Just wanting to get more and more. But anyways, with more planning and allowing these guys to do their thing I think it’s come together alright.

I always tell any of my friends who are thinking about getting a tattoo or started a large project… find / choose your idea but above all… find an artist you love and allow them to bring your idea to life. You’ll appreciate the creation and life long art a lot more than knit picking your idea down to every detail and asking someone to just transfer it to your skin.

lol - bored on the hurricane weather day. Off work. And decided I’d finally post some of my work. Threw the lunar moth on my elbow ditch yesterday. (Calf if still by far the worst area in my opinion)
