tattoos are not /fa/
>>10838644
I like it, old shitty dark ages art looks cool
I personally want to get an old tarot card on my arm
>>10838668
One tatoo in an area that it covered up by most articles of clothing is very effay
>>10838668
you're not /fa/
>>10838907
something like this?
>>10838638
not a bad fit
a shame you never your house
general mad dog matthis doesnt have sleeve tattoos though
>>10838644
I had seen one that had the exact same image but instead of innere werte it said memento mori, i personally like that I've a little more
>>10838668
welcome to /fa/
>>10839077
Geometric shit is going to be barbed wire tattoo of the 10s
>>10838644
something like this would look really good under my band
inspo 4 similar art pls?
>>10839865
nah
>>10838939
fair enough.
>>10839253
good.
I have a hieroglyph piece around my upper arm and plan to get more, but I need to design them first.
>>10839865
i super agree with this.
and i think some day not having tattoo's will become cooler then having them, it's such a normie thing these days.
>>10840039
You do realize saying the word normie is the fucking most normie thing you can say. I never thought I see the day where someone can ironically suck 2 cocks at once
>>10840039
to be the barbed wire/tribal tats of the 10s they would have to be huge with brodude idiots, which they aren't
Looking for some amazonian pattern for my tattoo, any suggestions?
>>10840296
Vines maybe? Maybe some kind of jungle cat. Spears
>>10838939
something like this?
>>10838638
fake btw
babbys 1st tattoo
bitches can bitch but i love it and i love my mama too!
>>10840039
My dad is covered in tattoos so tattoos have always been a normie thing for me. I've never seen the big deal of it.
My friend got a tiny foot tattoo and her mother didn't talk to her for a month
>>10839371
Yeah something like that would be nice
:^)
>>10838644
cringe and fedoratier
>>10840264
this
the current shit tier tattoos I notice these days more than barbed wire:
>tribal
>bible verses
>"inspirational" quotes
>anything america related
So far geometric tattoos are still very well pulled off. The only people who get them are eccentric hipster kids, which is basically what everyone who isn't a neckbeard on this board is.
I'm planning on getting my first tattoos in the near future. I'm getting a cobra that comes up my right side, from the right side of my waist up to my ribcage. I also want to get a wolfsangel and a leviathan cross. Being how they've been adopted by the Nazis and the church of satan respectively, do you guys think they'll offend people or scare them off?
>>108386>>10838644
Unless you served time in a russian prision you shouldnt get that. You leave a bug chance to get beat up.
>>10838644
It's a popular slavic prison tattoo. Keep that in mind.
>>10841603
No but you'll look like an edgy faggot
>>10839077
Deathly hallows and a shark? Gay
>>10842686
When I was 18 I got a dumbass pentagram on one forearm and a dumbass cross on the other. I'm 25 now and regret the retardedness everyday. Why do we make such stupid decisions with our bodies. What should I get to cover each?I used to be a edgelord idiot now I'm just a regular guy.
Will this look good?
Most tattoos aren't /fa/, and a thread full of people saying "Hey will this look good?" won't work. "Does this look good" threads in general don't work, be a bit more specific. Most tattoos aren't fa, and if you're getting one I really hope you don't take /fa/s advice on what to get.
>get "faggot" tattooed on your forehead
Most tattoos look fucking stupid, and the story / bullshit justification people have for having them is also stupid.
Inb4 butthurt "hey anon x died and this is dedicated to" - whatever
>>10843047
>if you're getting one I really hope you don't take /fa/s advice on what to get.
Tattoos are permanent, unlike clothing. Asking for /fa/s advice on something you're going to have on your skin for the rest of your life is just dumb. Tattoos shouldn't be about fashion imo.
>then again I'm one of those fags who has self-designed tats for personal reasons or dedicated to my dead parents
>>10843090
It's okay anon, you understand a bit of what I'm saying
>>10840367
>i have a number of small, meaningful tattoos
>>10843098
I was just agreeing and adding my own input. Probably should have been clearer on that.
tattoos are trashy but sometimes trashy is a good aesthetic
>>10838638
>>10838644
>>10838907
>Not getting your true love's name for maximum blue-collar/gruff oldtimer swag
Even if she dies or leaves me it's still perfect for looking like a cool old dude with a dramatic backstory when I'm ancient.
>>10843009
No, it'll look like you and the artist were drunk at the time.
Get something with fewer scribbley lines. I'm sure there's a fox drawing somewhere that's both good and not autistic.
>>10838638
>Implying fraternal and organizational tattoos aren't GOAT
>>10843146
>tattoos are trashy but sometimes trashy is a good aesthetic

>>10839371

Hey guys is my tattoo effay?

>>10843009
quentin blake is always a go
i support it
>>10845515
this is exactly why I don't get tattoos.
People automatically assume you're stupid as fuck, and even if you achieve success it makes you look dumb.
>>10845331
My man! Albrecht Durer is the shit! I think that's a great tattoo idea and location. Go for it.

>>10841586
>implying eccentric hipster kids aren't going to be the 2010s equivalent of douchey huge dudebros from late 90s, early 00s

I'm stealing your idea son, probably getting the memento mori one within the month
Starting to save up for something along these lines. Always wanted to have a drawing of mine tattooed.
>>10846319
Implying successful people aren't branded with tattoos as identification
>>10844048
idk about it being a tattoo but that is a very nice embroidery
>>10843146
>>10843406
I like it
opinions?
>>10847462
Been working on a couple ideas for a while.
I have a tiny tattoo I got to remind me of Albert Camus' Myth of Sisyphus. I wanted to kill myself and the essay came to me when I was in a really dark place and I started feeling better about my life. Not that aesthetic but it's nice to look down and see and think, "the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
>>10842411
Mmmm classic laocoon. Snakes are always a fun motif. Artistically an icon of frustration and constriction though.
>>10843114
and
>>10847547
love this one
>>10847591
"though though they do remind me of my struggles, ups and downs, throughout life - the execution and presentation is uninspired."
there you go.
>>10847595
Thanks! I don't claim to be any sort of enlightened buddhist but I really like the concept of the golden fish. Getting along with peeps is a seriously big deal I've found out.
>>10847600
well you clearly just dont get it man
>>10847610
Hey I'm sorry if I offended you, it was meant to be a critique more than an attack.
I don't think people can really diss anything about a tattoo other than the craftsmanship or lack there-of.
>>10847567
your tattoo has a reasonable meaning behind it, it doesn't have to have be aesthetically pleasing. It also not that ugly but you could have been able to place it somewhere nicer desu
>>10847625
yeah the placement is kinda awkward but I wanted it to be very easy to hide and I wanted to be able to look at it. I would have liked it on my chest but I'm hairy as fuck. Outside the bicep looks better for showing to people and stuff but you have to awkwardly move your arm to look at it
>>10845482
Nice, this looks great
I got this tattoo at the start of the year, its actually a bit more detailed than the picture shows.
>>10847636
It would be so cool to have a bunch of art nouveau girls swirling around your body, not gonna lie.
>>10847642
I think I'm gonna get a few more on that arm at least... dunno about a full theme. Too many ideas to explore, I REALLY want a simple line/dot work one too
tattoos will never be effay
>>10847636
would be better in b/w imo
i was fucking this single mom a few weeks ago who had a tattoo with her children's names on a tramp stamp. i have no idea why she got it there but she was a bit socially retarded, so maybe she didn't understand the connotation.
it was the first night we had gone out and she told me not to use a condom because she was on the pill.
it made it extra weird when i pulled out and came on her children's names but i did it anyway.
>>10847797
>she was on the pill.
Hope your pull out game is strong because she lied.
>>10846486
they aren't, it's a subculture that is only barely noticed by """the mainstream""", and even then only in an extremely watered down state
unrelated is a minimal black/skin "moon phases" thing a chick tat
>>10847636
start lifting
>>10844967
Make sure it's above the waist
How bad is it if I get a classic love heart tattoo but with my own name in it?
>>10848046
I was thinking forearm
>>10848117
That's strange you should do it I've never seen that
Guy I know (well knew) got himself a 2007-4chan-failed-triforce tattoo

You realise that's Roald dahl Fantastic Mr Fox?
I want something similar to this on my calf

Looks hipster
>>10840260
kek, you are my spirit animal
>>10848833
Thought that tree stump had legs and was doing a little jig
I've got a couple ideas I've been throwing around and drawing up
Any of these any good so far? Should I add anything to any of them?
>>10841603
>>10849277
You know it would really help if I included the pic
>>10847567
I remember you posting on here about this, I feel like it was you saying you were thinking about it? Looks good
>>10849286
They're pretty cool man. Saved.
Reminds me of this for some reason:

>>10847567
ah I remember you in a previous thread. It's good to see that you went through with it, it looks nice
>>10849284
Sweet
>>10845452
Way to copy the same tattoo Richard Kuklinski (the iceman) hit man/serial killer. had
>>10843009
Go for it, Mr. Fox is the best Roald Dahl book. Now I kind of want that too.
Watercolored tattoos will be the tribal/barbed wire of the 10's, calling it now. Geometric will likely stand the test of time.
its hard to take a picture of, but i like mine
Got this a little over a week ago on my left shoulder
>>10849286
Pretty cool. Reminds me of alchemical symbols. I have a couple I designed which aren't too dissimilar, but I can't upload pics right now.
>>10850339
What is it holding?
>>10850349
a surgical tool, its from 12 oz. Mouse
Picture is upside down tho. Inner forearm.
>>10849284
Nice bruh
>>10850432
Are those stretchmarks
>>10850475
Nah, old picture so cant remember exactly, but my guess it's Just bad lightning and such.
kinda want one like this
i wish i had picked a less expensive hobby before i got my tattoos
>>10847553
man sorry but these look terrible
>>10848117
This honestly:
>>10848757
That's fucking hilarious, I feel bad I never came up with that myself.
>>10843146
am i the only one with a hard on for girls with nipple piercings
>>10847567
muh meaning
cringey as fuck m8
all you want is someone to ask "what's the meaning" and then you tell your emo story where you thought about suicide once but weer too pussy to go through with it and 15 year old scene girls find you more attractive 6 years ago but those days are over and now you just got a shitty line and a circle on you
i got this a couple weeks ago on my thigh, should i get the eyes/brows filled in black and get a border of some kind to enclose it? like an oval or circle?
>>10850983
Thinking of getting this maybe uncoloured on my inner forearm thoughts?
>>10848833
>/out/core
I'm liking it
Getting the skull on my inner forearm
Anyone know what this means? Russian prison tattoo, with a keylock on the forehead... Does it mean they were trapped physically but only they - the prisoners - could lock themselves i.e. their minds, away.
>>10850983
Personally, I'd say nah.
Then again, I'm the sort who loves clean lineart.
>>10847567
>>10850869
Fucking this
Never, ever explain your tattoos
It will always sound cringey as fuck, no matter how deep/meaningful/badass it really is to you
When people ask, just say that you have got your reasons
>>10851071
>appropriating russian prison tats
enjoy getting your throat cut when you accidentally flash it in the wrong bar
>>10851098
I have never even spoken to a Russian, let alone would I walk into a bar that hosts them in their numbers and specifically those with criminal associations that recognise prison imagery.
>>10851087
Its for them to know..all them are subjective to their meaning. Not since the mid to late 80s did they have a certain meaning because newer younger inmates where getting w.e they want and when ever they want. Its bettet to just stay away from them.
>>10843485
thats fucking sick
>>10850291
Damn, that tattoo is fucking stupid.
>>10851098
>>10851108
I do appreciate you trying to hard to deter me though, you're welcome to the last laugh if I get killed.
>"If" will not deter my actions
>>10851092
What if there's a short explanation?
I'm kind of wanting to get a tattoo of a heptagon or heptagram (7-pointe.d shape or star). Or some combination of the two. And really, that's just because there are 7 people in my family.
>>10851090
did you see the other picture?
>>10851117
I enjoy the artist's talent, but no i wouldn't wear that tat.
>>10851119
Idc what a person does, it just silly to get a tattoo criminals would get. Your kinda puttinf yourself in a bad situation also if people know better they might not associate with you/be denied a job. Happens all the time in eastern europe.. my tattoo guy wont do any poltical or criminal tats, so you might have that problem...but to each his own...
>>10851139
You're good to go
As long as you erase the edges as the members of your family dies
>>10851140
Yeah, I did. I still think filling stuff in would be too much.
>>10851165
Don't know why I'd do that.
I looked a little more and it turns out there's a lot of neat imagery with heptagons.
This for one.
>>10851174
Here's the other. I don't know if having a tattoo of this would make people think I'm a Satanist, though.
>>10843406
my friend went to vegas and got a girl's name tattoo'd on his neck
then he went back a year or so later and got it crossed out and put the name of a girl he met that time under it
he did it on purpose and it's pretty funny/looks kind of cool
>>10849286
reminds me of these, traditional bosnian tatoos
>>10850992
so a circle?
>>10847547
looks like a halo icon
>>10851139
someone's going to assume that you were going for the star of david and had a retarded tattoo artist do it
I've got an idea for one, but first I need you /fa/iries' opinion. I want something like this, but instead of holding the globe, Atlas is standing on top of it, but in the same pose.
>>10851394
maybe do him in that pose holding the sun, standing atop the earth. Or moon or something.
>>10851399
No anon, it is the weight of his existence that he's struggling with. The weight doesn't exist but in his mind.
>>10851411
alright fine whatever if you want to look like a retard be my fucking guest
i got my first tattoo today to see if i could handle the pain long enough to do my "real shit" tattoos in march.
is it /fa/ at all
>>10851394
That's retarded.
>>10851411
Why do you want a tattoo that reminds you of how much of a pucci boy u are
Tattoos are sperg level, all of you are idiots.
>>10851435
not at all whatsoever
What do you think of this aesthetic?
>>10851466
neato, but 10 years down the line it'll look like shit desu
>>10851441
The celestial spheres support us, not the other way around. The only meaning in our minuscule, ephemeral existence is that which we ascribe to it. Atlas isn't supporting creation, he's supporting the meaning it holds for him, and that requires hard work.
>>10850838
No, definetely not anon.
>>10851435
What's gonna be the real shit?
>>10851444
Thanks for letting us know.
>>10847567
just to elucidate this whole cringe feel for anybody who is interested: it's because it comes across as grossly self absorbed. It's like "this tattoo is such an important part of me. This is who I am. Let me tell you about who I am, just look at this tattoo". no disrespect to the guy who posted that shit tho gl
>>10851650
A tattoo should mean something to the person getting it, after all it's permanently drawn on them and all that. but yeah, I agree, telling other people about it trying to impress them is stupid as hell.
>>10851732
>tatto should mean something
Oh boy, it looks like the fun police just showed up.
Look faggot, if you want to understand what you're talking about, you should look into the history of traditional tattoos. They didn't get them because of some meaning, they got them because they wanted something they could keep and incorporate into their life, sometimes they just wanted to support the artist. Getting a meaningful tattoo is middle class white girl shit and thats because they want to pretend and feel deep to justify their pathetic existance.
>>10847446
Whew, lad.
>>10851745
>something they could keep and incorporate into their life
so.. it was almost like the tattoo meant something.
>>10848757
>>10850803
Its something I was seriously thinking of doing. Now just to decide if its going to have my actual name or just "me" instead.
>>10852140
Me would be funnier, your real name Will Also lead People to believe (Who dont know you) that there is a special person in your life, that's atleast how I think about it.
Funny and original idea though.
Also sorry for random caps, phone is acting like a lil baby bitch
thoughts?
Mine from a while back, first tattoo, want to get another but don't know 100% what so I won't rush it
I got this last week.
laugh at me if you will, but i recently got 'never knows best' tattooed on my forearm
>>10852678
Anon just made a big mistake
>>10852678
>if anon has an ironic tattoo without knowing its ironic, is it still /fa/
>>10851322
well more like a coloured in circle with 2 bands and dots either side
It's driving me crazy. I really want tattoos but I want something original that wont look too dated within 5-10 years and I just can't find any good ideas.
I really like black and grey realism stuff, but I can't think of anything decent. I also like bold-lined traditional-ish tattoos, but at the same time I think they look a bit messy and childish perhaps.
I just can't make my mind up, but everyday I spend at least 30 minutes looking at tattoos and trying to get ideas and it's just burning me out so much. I want to commit to a specific style so they don't look out of place.
Not to mention I hate the idea that so many plebs are getting tattoos nowadays that it's no longer that "cool" to have tattoos.
>>10852696
>not writing them on your ciggys
>not drawing your own shit tattoo ideas that people will make fun of you for
>>10850338
dope as fuck
>>10852140
No, I wouldn't just do "me", that seems kind of unoriginal and obvious.
I think your real name would be better.
Do it all girly and cursive so you can't really tell without studying it a little.
Or do comic sans. Your choice.
>>10850291
>Geometric will likely stand the test of time.
spoken like a true follower. that shit is already on its way out. dumbest fucking fad, right behind tribal.
>>10852305
Halfswording, nice.
Medieval manuscript/codex/woodcut tattoos are some of then only ones that look any good.
>>10851435
sup b. it's not /fa/, but if it's /fa/ to you then that's all that matters.
>>10852394
dude what the fuck?
>>10850432
Looks Eldar-ish
Would something in that style be an effay way to show off my nerdness without being cringeworthily blunt about it?
>>10851466
kinda over the top, almost looks like tech, but breddy gud
>>10853394
its the tdwp logo
>>10853237
thats effay as fuck
>>10853394
Ofcourse it wouldn't be nerdish, most People wouldn't know what it means, if they ask you you can say none of your fucking business. Also those look nice, if you like em, go for it.
>>10853481
close
>>10847446
nice

And close up
>>10854855
The meaning, and I think it's a cool design.
>>10854922
Looks stupid, but nobody really cares about the stupid shit tinder sluts put on their body...so whatever
>>10854942
Someone's projecting
>>10854966
No, he's right. It's fucking awful. Tattoos are so un-effay now.
>>10854922
looks like shit
>>10854810
Just like the swastika, its ruined.
>>10855033
Yeah I agree with the first two words. But that doesn't make her a stupid shit tinder slut

Question: Delirium from Sandman, in watercolor, is it possible to make it work?
I always thought some of Andzrej Klimowski's drawings would make good tattoos.
Do you reckon this could work?
>>10852394
wish my life had anything to do with fish so I could steal this bad boy
Eh?
Do you think this would make for a good tattoo?
>>10855786
God no
>>10855786
If you're a faggot. So for you, yeah.
/fa/ is working hard to turn medieval woodcut/manuscript tattoos into a trend.
I can get behind this. Its pretty fucking awesome.
>>10854919
God I hate brown/shitty gold tattoos
they look so awful
You guys like some pretty shitty tattoos. I'm dumping some I've found.
