What made you decide on that tattoo
One of many
>>690643466
Honestly, I really just liked the idea.
Saw someone with a pine forest, and thought kind of a barren leafless silhouette thing would look sweet.
Planning on adding more to it, maybe things involving red.
You have any?
got more on my chest today, nipples fucking sucks
>>690643830
That is lovely, very well done. You have any better lit pics?
>>690643830
Little more
"Uh, hi... I'm here for the job interview?"
>>690643830
Little more>>690643970
>>690643941
Ow dude, is what you got at least worth the nipple pain?
>>690644080
I can't quite make out that one anon, what is it?
>>690644224
Holy shit you're right, they took all the long sleeved shirts in the world and torched them!
Oh wait nvm, they're still here. And I already have a job.
>>690644369
Holy shit yeah, very nice. How much did that cost you?
>>690644408
Most of mine are unfinished
>>690643151
great concept
not so great execution
>>690643151
Great, you tattooed trees.
>>690643151
Wow hope you're joking, that looks like shit 2/10
>>690644408
Most of mine are unfinished>>690644524
I used to work at a tattoo parlor I was the manager and everyone of them were free
>>690644568
Why?
>>690644580
I think some of the issue is that I have very small arms, and it looks a little crowded.
>>690644641
Yes
>>690643151
Now THAT is what I call a tattoo that isn't good
>>690644788
Cause fuck you that's why... Who else has there nipple tattooed
>>690644408
Cover your tattoos in work? That's a good boy. Keep those sleeves rolled down and you might be allowed to answer my phone for me.
>>690644985
I have a lot of tattoos
>>690643151
>ITT: young fucktards with too much disposable income
>>690643151
pretty cool, looks kinda large though. it willl be tough to add to it . the concept is cool though
>>690643151
it seems like a lot of people are doing a forest landscape thing now
>>690644772
I really like that one. Sounds like you got a pretty damn good setup there buddy.
>>690644985
Alrighty then
>>690645122
Foot sucked
>>690645122
Foot sucked >>690645306
Still get huge discounts from the guy even though I haven't worked there in 3 years
>>690645063
I don't cover my tattoos at work, because my job doesn't care about them.
>>690645150
I'm thinking of adding birds up top, nothing to the actual forest part
>>690645202
Yeah I've seen quite a few, they're nice to look at
What do you guys think for this as a leg tattoo? I'm thinking shin, closer to the start of the ankle.
>>690645461
First one sucks
>>690645461
God damn I love the way red in tattoos look, hella nice.
>>690645660
Can't really see this one
>>690645821
What's that one?
>>690645953
All seeing eye
>>690643151
I'm currently having work done on a outer space wrap on my leg I will try to compress a photo so I can upload
>>690645970
That alien is creepy as fuck man why
>>690645970
>>690646100
Sorry I'm so hairy lol makes it harder to see
>>690643151
Pretty Rad ehhhh?
>>690646258
You must be greek
>>690646287
Nice b8 m8
>>690645970
>>690646100
Sorry I'm so hairy lol makes it harder to see >>690646155
Hard to tell but the reflection in the eyes is two aliens doing an autopsy on a guy
>>690646492
What the shit that's going to give me nightmares man.
>>690646690
Again sorry they are hard to see
>>690645312
It looks like someone is watching you through that window
>>690646673
My boy drew the alien on with a sharpie then went to town
>>690646673
My boy drew the alien on with a sharpie then went to town >>690646879
That doesn't surprise me I have a ghost that follows me hang on I'll find the pic but I don't see anything there
>>690647042
That's some grade A creepy stuff.
>>690647499
Always someone watching me see the white thing in the hallway
>>690643151
how has no one pointed out that it looks like a veiny, throbbing johnson yet?
>>690647646
Wtf dude. Get your cat and burn down your house.
>>690647667
Nope. I've been told it looks like veins.
working on a sleeve
>>690648044
Dude I also have a shadow person that strikes fear into the deepest parts of my heart when I see it's so fucking terrifying I think the white one keeps it at bay though
>>690646287
Hope you get stabbed.
>>690648127
The lines look really nice, not a huge fan of blue but to each his own.
>>690648336
Maybe look into some cleansing stuff?
>>690643151
Basic tattoos, too afraid to get detailed ones.
I've had:
Upper left arm (inner and outer arm, more or less a sleeve)
Right forearm (inner)
Right side of my body (some of it goes onto my ribs, adding more later)
Back (from about my shoulder blades down to the lower back)
Far and away the worst pain was my back. I've never come so close to stopping. Fuck my dick that hurt. I've got lots of stretch marks, so the scar tissue hurt like no tomorrow. Plus work on the spine sucks. Never found the other areas that painful, though some people swear the inner part of your upper arm is agony - seriously didn't hurt for me. But then everyone feels pain differently. Pic related
>>690648680
That's a gay tattoo bro tribal was so 90s
>>690648571
thanks! and tbh, Ive always pictured a red/orange dragon (Im no fan of blue either), but after considering the other colors going into it (raijin, lightning, flames), blue seemed like a better option
>>690648822
If they aren't using three different shades of the color they aren't doing it right
>>690648776
I'm aware. But all my tats will be tribal in nature. Sticking to a theme. And this is going to be my only colored tat.
>>690649139
What are you, 14?
>>690648716
I never heard about the back being a painful place. Are you relatively thin? I could imagine it would hurt on a bony person.
>>690648822
That's fair, blue works in that situation then. What else do you have left on it?
>>690649044
Nice dude
Also pic related this is my 1st tattoo, I love it way too much
>>690649238
15
>>690649315
Lol it's like a warning sign for any girls on their way down.
>>690649139
If you stick to all of them tribal that would look cool I personally hate it but to each their own you know I also have a small tribal dragon on my back that I forget about lol
>>690649313
I am thin, so the spine sucked, but like I said I have lots of stretch marks. Going over any form of scar tissue is ridiculously painful. I mean literally none of my tattoos have every really hurt me apart from that. But I was sweating fucking buckets towards the end
>>690644985
>there
they're
fixed that for you
>>690649476
I fell asleep getting my shin tattooed and I'm skinny as fuck 6'2 140 lbs
>>690649044
Better pic
I like moths a lot I guess. It's my first and while I really thoroughly enjoyed it I don't think I'll get anything else due to the stigma of tattooed females.
>>690643151
ill be getting this as a sleeve next weekend when im hammered
>>690649676
My native American bro I lived with called those death moths, if you ever saw one, someone in your family was going to die soon.
>>690649612
Again friend, scar tissue. Scar tissue is pure torture. Considering stretch marks tend to be quite big, too. At least with a standard tattoo needle it's just scratching the surface. Over scars it's practically reopening wounds. Plus my back piece is big, and in full colour/filled in, and colouring uses more needles. Like a standard outline would be what, 7 needles? Colour/shading can belike double or triple that.
>>690646492
>>690645970
Alien head is fucking dope man
>>690645970
Do colored tattoos fade? Like do you have to get them redone every once in a while?
>>690649916
Well shit. I've been thinking about covering up my self harm scars on my legs with a tattoo, I guess it'll hurt like a bitch if I do.
You'd think scar tissue would be less sensitive.
>>690650051
The beetlejuice has faded but the alien and spider have never been touched up I've had them for 3 or so years but that's the third time on beetlejuice it depends on the ink man and if the guy really lays the ink in
>>690649139
not even moltres
>>690649313
fill in the entire background like such, get the rest of the dragon and elements colored in. guessing another 5 sessions left.
what's the story behind your first tattoo?
>>690648680
Why even bother then
>>690650156
Nope. They fucking suck. My tattooist does lots of tattoo cover ups for people with self harm scars, and he said they're generally the worst. Bear in mind though, everyone is different. You might not feel it as much, or maybe you'll feel it worse. Plus it depends on the area. But I'd just say go for it anon. I mean, you're being jabbed with a lot of fucking needles - you're going to feel pain, one way or the other. But it'll be worth it
>>690650156
Don't cover them up, they tell a story, just try to incorporate them into art.
Got the outline a few days ago
>>690650232
Whats the standard amount of time it takes to recolor them? And why dont you just have him go deeper with a more durable ink so the color is able to withstand time like the rest
>>690643830
>getting leg tats..
Never saw the appealing nature of that
>>690649864
I'm fairly certain you don't get this moth in the US.
>>690650156
Doesn't hurt as much as you'd think, they just bleed a lot. I did it on my left arm, under shoulder. I think it's worth doing.
>>690650348
Oh wow then, so a lot left? You'll have to post the finished result here when it's done, but it looks lovely so far.
The first one's from The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
Ka is kind of a mix of karmic destiny and fate, which is one of my strongest beliefs. That philosophy gets me through a lot so it means a lot.
>>690650526
This
They would be more meaningful and unique that way..... Incorporate the scars in, highlight their existence in the piece rather than cover them up
>>690650577
Praise Cthulhu
>>690649676
lets see your tits
>>690650643
Don't ever go deeper that will cause a blow out and your tattoo will look like shit notice the spots that look like scars when it's hot out that shit raises up and itches like a bitch
>>690650671
We live in az. And that moth is Mothra size compared to what we see.
Took 3 sessions, was a really fun process.
Got to get baked as hell with my artist and we tossed in some nice attributes over the course of the tattoo.
>>690650917
holy shit man
>>690650872
piss off. are you 15 or something
Just got this sleeve 2 weeks ago sat for 4 hours and still need to colour. More?
>>690650430
Well shit. Either way I guess it's going to hurt, I just want to wear shorts again.
>>690650526
Can't really think of how to make it into art.. Did you do that?
>>690650785
Pics?
>>690651118
Are you 15? Nobody cares if you a girl unless you want to show your tits
>>690651134
I'll just post em all
>>690651134
If you sat for 4 hours he fucking bloooowwwssssss
>>690651134
>>690651145
I did not do that. Just don't cover them. Stories are better than forgetting, they make us human, relatable, interesting.
>>690650940
there's a lot of different moths. This is a poplar hawk. Common in the uk and found througout the Palearctic region That's quite a cool story though

>>690651286
See the rest

That was it fresh, had to resize.

Just curious, what does a 5-pointed star like that symbolize to you?
>>690651885
edgy. I'm who you asked actually. Why are you in here?
Getting it finished next week
>>690651944
Enjoy gangrene.
All your tattoos are shite.
Seriously. You have wasted a large amount of money I imagine on shit, pointless doodles on your limbs. You are not special. You are not unique. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Seriously reevaluate your life and thought making procedure if you think this adds worth to your existence.
>>690652031
Nice waste of time, money, and skin.
>>690651885
sorry, is mommy not let you get one? :(
>>690651944
Get fucked

Looking at tattoos
>>690651391
I don't think anyone wants the story about how I got drunk and sat on my neighbor's kitchen floor and cut up my legs with a steak knife. Its easier to cover the bad with something beautiful and forget about it.
>>690651876
That is beautiful anon, i love it.
>>690644369
best one in thread
ps its creepy as fuck
>>690650577
Very nice. I always liked the idea of a cephalopod sleeve with the tentacles going round. what colours are you thinking

He did a fantastic job, it really is incredible. Upper arm?
>>690652489
It's a crow dingaling
>>690652084
I don't know why this myth persists. We get them because we like them. What possible reason do we have to think a tattoo is unique?
also I'm not such a poorfag that the cost was in any way a waste.
>>690644985
Is that a used purple condom?
>>690651876
I've seen alot of lighthous tattoo's lately, what is the significace of it?

Great grand-father was in the Merchant Navy, I read his war diary, and wanted something to remember him. I put some of my favorite song lyrics on there too, because why not. I've always loved the Sea, too.
>>690645063
Who the fuck wants to answer a phone
>>690649676
why do you care about the stigma. If you enjoy tattoos then go for it. Not saying go all out but there's little reason not to get a few more less conspicuous ones. Decent people aren't going to judge you for it. It's your body after all
>>690652264
Bottom is the original idea, my guy just is better. Top is end-piece. Thoughts?

First one last month, going for a sci fi sleeve
>>690644369
you like johnny depp a little too much, friend.
Im thinking about getting one but I got noodle arms and going through muscle training to build gains. Should I the tattoo now or wait till my arm gets bigger. I wondered if I got it now would it stretch or distort the image?
>>690653335
autism
>>690651798
haha cool dude .. i love tats like these
>>690653464
get it once your arms get bigger. tattoos look better, generally, if they compliment the natural curves of your muscle definition.
>>690649403
>girls
>>690643151
it looks like a forest
>>690653180
gonna be a sweetass tattoo. what made you decide on that? I've seen quite a few really nice octopi recently; been wondering how people decided on it.
>>690653491
Do that with a marker?
>>690653491
u gay
>>690653523
stop it muh feelings

>>690655712
Thought that looked familiar
My only tattoo so far, looking to get another very soon.
>>690656259
Looks awesome Anon, I've always liked the shredded skin look.
Im planning on getting this but on my back, does anyone like it?
>>690656564
That looks pretty cool
One of a few. i plan to make this one a sleeve.
>>690656233
nice dubs and it's not Nazi symbolism it's an army regiment logo. The regiment is called Azov.
>>690656259
I always wondered, in 50 years tats like these will be blurry as shit and ugly. What do you plan on doing then?
>>690643151
>>690650964
Shitty as fuck. Welcome to the mainstream and unorignal side of tattoos.
>>690656816
dont think too people are worried about what they'll look as pensioners in general.
>>690656564
The detailing on the Iris is really nice tbh.
>>690653922
>Introvert
>Survivalist/able to adapt fast
>Can get out of really bad situations
Fits me well, also I love Cthulhu lore and the ocean in general. And there's a certain elegance in the design.
Also the tentacles loop around really well.
>>690657104
The iris is the best part.
>>690656954
>implying I care about your opinion
>>690656259
I want to get this on my calf, I'm going to start a greek mythology piece.
>>690656816
Man I don't even know if I'll live that long lmao, why worry about what it'll look like in the future when its the now that matters. But I most likely will get all of my tattoos re-inked after they start to fade.

Putain de dépressif de merde
>>690657101
My dad served in Afghanistan for two years in the 80s and he got a tattoo there too. He was 18 at the time, he got a picture of some sort of Army logo that had to do with his group of soldiers. Today he's 52 and it's blurry as fuck, you can barely make it out and he regrets it too much. He is against me getting tattoos because of his experience but idk if i should go through with it. I'm 18 and still in Secondary school.
>>690656816
Do you have any affiliations with that regiment? I hate it when people get army shit tattooed on them when they have no connections at all towards the army.
>>690657304
Is that Atlas?
>>690653180
Don't finger women with your left unless they're into tentacle porn. Otherwise nice tatoo.
>>690657638
Yup, I want to get the world filled in with something, I'm not sure what yet though. I'm thinking of getting a water colored universe type thing going on in there haha,
>>690656564
who cares what other people like? you i guess... on a side note, ive seen a ton of people with tool tattoos but that one looks pretty shitty. make sure to take some high quality original artwork for reference material.....
>>690657778
Sounds like a great tatoo, good luck on that one.
Pd: off by one.
>>690657304
I'm 18 and still in school, I'll probably get a tattoo when I have a decent and stable job. That'll happen when im like 24 years old but i had a tattoo mindset for a very long time. I've always wanted >>690655650 as my tattoo.
>>690657615
well that's on him isn't it. You can't go in expecting a tattoo to last forever without touch ups. Even if mine looks like shit when I'm old, it will be like the rest of my decrepit wrinkled body. it looks great and I Love the design now. and that what matters
just be sure you like what you're getting. I'm generally against people jumping in and getting something generic a thousands other people have in some variation. Wait until you're sure
Can anybody guess what these are from?
>>690656564
>>690656564
heres the original artwork, i dont think they translated it too well, just imho
>>690647646
you're being followed by Neil Armstrong?
But seriously, I'm very interested in this stuff, do you have more?
>>690657914
I wanted to know if people like it. And yes, i know it doesnt look that good, so i'll try to find some good artwork before, i don't want to regret it.
