Starting with mine
im thinking of getting 2 lines that go from under my earlobes, down my shoulders and forearms to the nails of my middle fingers.
what do you think?
>>11260896
why
>>11260897
I believe it would increase his speed.
>>11260903
kek
>>11260775
>>11260774
I like the style, but these are pretty feminine
>>11260909
feminine and masculine are just social constructs my dude
>>11260774
>>11260785
>>11260775
What style would these be called? Minimalist? Or linear maybe?
>>11261045
I just know them as line drawing tattoos
>>11260897
>why?
absolutely the most fucking pointless and retarded question when it comes to tattoos
copped this
>>11260774
i love these kind of tattoos
>>11260919
you sound gay
>>11261055
hahahahahahah
>>11261050
qt stick and poke. i like it
I want to get a small geometric or line drawing tattoo but does it look stupid if you just have a smaller tattoo as opposed to a medium sized one?
>>11261053
Because it brings to light how foolish and vacuous tattoos are?
>>11261045
they're Picasso line drawings.
i always wonder if i'm the only one that thinks if you're going to get tattoos they should all be the same type of artwork
>>11261386
cubism
>>11261197
no
its because there is 1 and only 1 reason anyone gets a tattoo.
aesthetics
Im thinking on getting just the 3 main squares.
What do you think?
Thinking about getting this one.
Thoughts?
>>11261607
>>11261610
I really like the woodcut style. I'm worried it will go out of fashion in a few years and I'd be stuck with it.
>>11261610
Nice but do you live in any of those states?
Sketched this on my arm, placement feels off, but crayfish claw y/n?
>>11261613
I would be more confident in that statement directed at the minimalist tats in this thread, since the minimalist requires very little talent by the artist I think people will get bored of them.
>>11261619
looks really good, but im not sure about the placement.
>>11261614
you need to be killed immediately.
fucking flyover cuck
>>11260785
Is this u?
another thread confirming tattoos are fucking lame. i'm not even one of those hurr durr it's gunna look so stupid when you're older types either. nigga it looks stupid right now and it's not going to get any better with age.
I just don't understand how people have money burning holes in their pockets that badly
im starting to think it's more edgy and rebellious to not have tattoos
>>11261610
lmao thats a skatebrand 5boro, why not get a nike tattoo?
>getting a tatto the same as some random
>no meaning for yourself
>muh aesthetics
>>11261492
>ITS FOR AESTHETIC MOM!
>I KNEW YOU WOULD'NT UNDERSTAND!
>HOW ABOUT YOU LURK MORE MOM!
>>11261613
dont worry about the trend senpai, if you like the tattoo, then go for it. everything will go out of "style" at some point, but who gives a fuck if you like it
>>11261943
wether the aestethic is good or bad is irrelevant.
your post just proves my point, tattoos are for aesthetic.
handshake my little brother and I have
>>11261989
Very nice idea
Terrible execution
Ffs at least go to a decent artist
>>11261607
don't get someone else's tattoo familia
>>11261610
Are you Craig Ferguson?
>>11262008
See, I don't mind criticism but I am curious as to how it was terribly executed. Where's the issue?
also, without even touching on the whole "art is subjective" thing, this dude has won a whole bunch of awards for tattoo's and has been tattooing for like 20 years, but maybe he just fucked up on me.
>>11262015
But isn't that very common to do? I really don't have the skills to create my own or life close by an artist of whoms design i like.
Anyone here with a full black sleeve tattoo? Pics pls.
>>11262018
i personally dont agree with that person. I think the tattoo looks sweet. cant find any faults
>>11262098
>come up with idea that has meaning
>wait at least a year to reflect on choice (i waited 5)
>research talented artists
>save up to drive or fly to artist
>get ur tattoo
>>11262112
thanks dude much appreciated
How bad is it if you copy someone's tattoo?
>>11262136
Great tip
>>11260775
cubism
was thinking of getting something like this
not sure though
>>11262606
oh god why
>>11262672
Why not
The antithesis of "wearing your heart on your sleeve"
>>11262136
i did knuckle tattoos on myself on whim one night drinking.
my first tattoo was free handed on and paid for with beer
>>11261619
Under the armpit
>>11262901
I'll try it on sometime. Thanks friend.
>>11261989
As a brother who has a strong bond with mine I love the concept. Personally I would have just got black outlining of the hands.Keeping it simple. The shading looks totally fine but my dislike is just personal preference. The dark shading kinda came off as hands belonging to a monster or demon hands when I initially saw it but I can see the actual meaning now tho.
>>11262793
Bretty gay teebeeH
>>11262018
Not that guy either. I don't think it's terribly executed but it's kinda meh. Colors, sleeves, nails, some sizes of fingers seems bit fucked. It's sweet idea tho. Not just random aesthetic but really personal.
>>11260919
>depictions of women
>thin line weight, not bold or aggressive
>loose composition and interpretation
>small scale
>intimate location on the body
Nah, it looks pretty definitive of femininity to me.
Use your words next time, instead of parroting your uni teachers, fucko.
>>11261734
> Implying the west coast is flyover, especially Berkley.
Get over yourself bud.
>>11262520
Unf this too good.
>>11262647
those aren't examples of cubism you dilettante dipshit
>errr look at me picasso = cubism
faggot.
Holy shit these look fucking terrible. Worst tattoo thread of the week.
>>11261989
do you and your brother have a disease
>>11260774
ITT: special snowflake cucks
fa or not?
rate
>>11263471
The pic was taken literally RIGHT after the tattoo was finished so the shading has gone down considerably compared to pic
I appreciate the input tho
>>11263634
wym
>>11262520
this thread was sorta making me hate tattoos until now holy fuck this is so good im so at peace
>>11262793
would've liked it if it was a anatomical heart diagram/picture
>>11262665
any particular reason
looks okay but not great, it could look great on tho
>>11262520
holy shit, this is gorgeous
>>11263671
Tats should look best when they are fresh tho
>>11263671
it'd be interesting to see a more recent pic of it to compare the shading
that was the only thing that really stood out to me i really cant see anything else evn questionable abt it
>>11261045
trendy
>>11262136
yuppie af. kys
>>11262018
Not him but the anatomy is fucked - most obvious is the long ass, broken index in the last one. The shading is also inconsistent and heavily overdone , i.e. the back of the hands. And the lines don't show confidence, especially in the sleeves
But it doesn't fucking matter. They're tattoos, people get this shit stick n poke in prisons. Thinking they need to be perfect or have symbolism or you should "wait a year" before deciding is for tryhard bougie fucks and women. /fa/ has some of the most embarrassing taste in tattoos I've ever seen, these threads are terrible
here's question for you fags:
what do you think about taking in some other thing to a guy rather than getting in his own work done?
>>11263727
Youre a poorfag and also a cuck
>>11263772
I came in here expecting typical tattoo arguments, but really this makes the most sense. They are lines. Honestly, either do it or dont. /fa/ is such a pussy about this.
Also, I dont know whether i understood your question, but every tattoo I have has been designed by myself or friends with no artistic translation by the tattoo artist, so theres that.
>>11263792
try harder, middle class trash
>>11262793
Terrible design and corny meaning
>>11263807
>every tattoo I have has been designed by myself or friends with no artistic translation by the tattoo artist, so theres that
same, but a lot of communities don't operate like that, I think traditionally too?Tattooists will have their own defined style, and you'll goto the shop and get one of their pieces done or collaborate with him to design a new piece.
You act as both the canvas as well as collector and arguably curator. one friend I know has a guy in Tokyo, and he'll fly out just to get his work. It's similar to finding 'your' barber. this is how it's done in SA, russia, korea as far as I've seen, rather than having something you found and then just using the guy as a tool to get it done, which is what most people I know do.
I'd do the same desu but I've never known anyone whose work I respect and fits my personal taste. so I've only gotten smaller pieces from sourced imagery.
drawing your own or having a friend draw it, who isn't also inking it, feels wrong and kind of insulting, imo though. To me, if it's original, it should be by the guy doing it, otherwise, it should be just a citation
>>11262834
Nobody asked you, hipster scum
>>11263602
its just a line drawing
other one
not mine. but one of the ones I like
peakyblinders tat
>>11263925
is that a giant asshole tattooed next to a crooked butt crack
>>11261774
A skateboard brand? Are you fucking retarded?
>>11263772
Yea I can see what you mean, I agree the lines get pretty sloppy
As far as the shading goes I disagree, minimalist tattoos with just outlines aren't really my thing and I'm fine with how the insides of the hand look myself, but I also see where you're coming from, I think.
Wasn't ever concerned with the anatomy, I think worrying about specifics of anatomy for hands is kinda contrive
>>11263708
Not true
Thinking about getting this done some day. Thoughts?
>>11263925
That's a ww1 tattoo you poser faggot
How should i figure out what i want as a tattoo? And also where to get one?
got the cigarette smoking man from the x-files
what do you guys think?
>>11263894
aggressively tumblr
>>11264465
is that Donald Trump ?
>>11264465
neat idea, terrible execution
looks like a ginger hitler with one fingernail painted red
>>11264465
Ayy lmanoo
>>11261772
I like tattoos and I agree this thread is garbage, save for this one >>11264505. Justify it however you want, but some art is just objectively bad.
Caring whether or not people have tattoos is one of those things that's so inconsequential that you're getting all riled up with an opinion nobody gives a shit about. So if you want to be edgy, the best way is just keep being mad about it.
>>11262520
Artist?
>>11264465
dude weed lmao
>>11261749
That's fucking sick
>>11260785
What's the significance of the death grips coffin for you?
>>11263844
lol hipster would be shoveling out hundreds of dollars for a full sleeve tattoo over many sessions in high bright contrast colors
>>11264465
doesn't quite looks like CSM
>>11264465
you've got smoking Donald Trump morphing into alien next to some Nazi symbol
i really feel sorry for you man. the idea was great but came out as a wreck

and before some faggot pops off at the mouth I only wear second hand clothes and dont own anything expensive so shut the fuck up
Sister is in the process of designing a Ferdinand the Bull inspired tattoo for herself, you fags got any ideas? I suggested changing the picadors' spears to matador's swords to save on the detail and to clean it up, also to change the mountains into one of the castle landscapes in the book, making it more diamond than triangular in composition.
Help me make sure my sister doesn't fuck up her skin.
So I've recently got an interest in this very tat. I've got heart problems so I was tihnking if I'm risking my life I might aswell go big.
>>11265595
the castle I had in mind
>>11265595
prostitutes with tattoos cost less that prostitutes without tattoos. this explains everything you need to know about women and tattoos
>>11262520
i'm not getting why this is good
>>11265612
someone with experience buying prostitutes I see
>>11265595
Not familiar with the book but that's an awesome design, and I totally agree about the swords. However, adding the castle on top instead of mountains would make the tattoo a lot longer. Where exactly is it going?
>>11265569
>I'm assblasted at how other people spend their money
Good job man keep it up.
>>11265628
That's another thing, placement would probably have to be thigh with that level of detail, making it less cluttered could make it fit on calf or ribcage.
BTW Ferdinand is a great kids' book, basically a chill af bull accidentally gets picked to fight in the stadium and just chills out in the middle of the ring smelling flowers when the fighters try to bait him.
>>11265628
Here's a weird translated pdf I found
http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/ferdinand-urdu.pdf
is this a good placement for a tattoo?
i feel like i have good arms for tattoos but i don;t know, not really sure what i want either... i love woodcut style tattoos, just not sure what yet
>>11261619
ROFL. A fucking Crayfish claw. Really? Think about how shitty that idea is.
Hey man what's the significance of that tattoo?
DUDE. FASHION LMAO.
>>11264397
looks a bit edgy imo
>>11265801
Yes, I'll get one right there this week
>>11265600
i hope this is a joke
>>11261607
The center looks like a pussy with chopsticks jammed in there. You should go for it.
These are some of the best tats I've seen
Sadly I'm not an edgy fucker
>>11261772
yeah tats are complete garbage.
>>11261772
>im starting to think it's more edgy and rebellious to not have tattoos
Agree
Every twenty something bitch has some tats today

how is this?
ideas for a tattoo
>>11265907
I'm not getting it for the edge, but because I study astrophysics. Those are the astrological symbols for all the planets, with the symbol for the sun in the middle on top of the path it traces in the sky over the course of a year (called an analemma).
>>11266318
oh okay, where would you get it?
>>11261607
>I really like spaghetti
>>11266339
I'm not sure yet. What would be a good place?
Last time I was shitfaced drunk somebody started talking about tattoos and I brought this up, then grabbed a gold sharpie and drew the planet symbols all the way up and down my arms.
>>11262606
trim those pits you fucking animal
>>11265801
nice arms bro u lift?
>>11266370
pls senpai... i know i am of a slight frame, pls no mockery
>>11266356
i assume you're a guy, it really depends on your physique in my opinion, if you're slim i'd say inside upper forearm or wrist but mayeb on your leg? i dunno dude, i'm no expert
>>11261989
are u and ur brother masons?
>>11265595
Great inspo but I'd recommend getting just a single part of the collage, the flower, or the bee or the spear for example. Having them all cluttered together in one corner never looks good - there's not a single part of the body I can imagine the whole collage looking nice together on, it doesn't make for a back piece and certainly not the chest or belly.
She could also maintain the symmetry by pairing the bear/spear on alternating limbs - her ankles or wrists for example. And there's no reason to get them all at once, if she'd like, she can collect more pieces in the future on other parts of her body. Imo this is is a lot more satisfying as a tattoo. It grows with you, and each pieces comes to represent different periods in your life.
The spears look really great imo though, I think she should hold onto those.
>>11266252
framed tattoos are trendy af, don't look good and are frankly stupid for trying to assert the tattoo as distinct from your body, and not enmeshed with it. And it's pretty obvious it's rooted in tumblr. IMHO
>>11265600
dying because you wanted a horrible biomechanical tattoo is probable the most /fa/ way to die
>>11260903
Top kek
>>11266185
It's from QuiBe
>>11260774
Can someone check my logic here; aren't the Picasso line drawings valued because it's Picasso's lines, i.e. his distinct fluid motion? It seems like the essence wouldn't really translate... would someone who actually gave even a solitary fuck about Picasso's work do that? Seems like kind of a tasteless choice to me.
>>11265854
>Hey man what's the significance of that tattoo?
It's the claw of a specific species that is native to a lake that I grew up at. (That's the short answer.) I'm glad you think it's fashionable though, senpai.
>>11265569
damn you're self righteous as fuck hahah
i'd try and see things from your perspective but i dont think i can fit my head up your asshole too
>>11266252
do you wipe your ass with your hand?
>>11265854
>every tattoo needs to be meaningful/significant
Dumbass.
Anyone have that picture of a girl in a bondage bunny outfit with her tied up?
should i get?
and where?
One day I'm gonna visit Moscow and get ink from this guy. He's so fucking legit.
>>11267242

>>11262104
If you get one of these and aren't either:
a) covering up gang tattoos
b) covering up track marks
you're the biggest fuckboi alive and should probably just kill yourself.
>>11265617
Yeah same? I do think it's really cool, but not as much as a lot of other posters are. Also the random spark plug??????
>>11264465
That really, really looks like donald trump lmao.
Can you get 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' tattoo'd under it
>>11264465
aw man dude
the idea's great but see a new artist
>>11267335
>>11267593
please fuck off
>>11267599
you asked.
and you fucked up.
>>11263663
hahaha
drunk or 12?
>>11266786
lmfao tru
>>11267027
That's not a Picasso line drawing .
As someone who hasn't had anything before what are recommended fonts and what are shit fonts, in this board's opinion?
>>11267703
drunk, did with a pencil
actually i think i turned out pretty fa
>>11260774
As someone who has never had much interest in tatoos, and never lurked or posted in tattoo threads I have to say that's a very appealing piece of ink.
I have been thinking about getting "Sapere aude" tattooed, but I'm unsure what's a good placement for it. Maybe inside part of the elbow? Do you guys have any ideas of where to place a small 2 words tattoo?
[spoiler]I'm terrified of needles so I'll probably never do it anyways[/spoiler]
>>11265801
even as an ex addict these pictures make me have flashbacks...my veins are all gone

Hodgy Beats has one across his entire chest and like upper arms. I think to co we up his rap group he left. Mellowhype
>>11260775
face of peace is so overdone but ill always like it
>>11266146
All of my close friends ride motorcycles and have shitty ink.
it's so generic.
I'm 26 years old and fairly certain I will never get a tattoo in my life. It's just not my style. Therefore, no ink is a "style".
>hurr durr it's EVEN cooler to not have tattoos I'm boring as shit
it literally doesn't even matter if you have tattoos of if you don't, no one gives a fuck either way
>>11264465
"i just want to make aliens great again"
>>11265854
>Bro what do your tattoo mean?
>Is it a symbol?
>Bro i wouldnt get anything unless it meant something
>>11261619
This is legit. I'd get it on the front of the shoulder, where it meets the chest.
>>11267326
It's very well drawn, at the detail on the spark plug is ridiculous. Executed nest perfectly
>>11266185
>>11267599
No I won't. Go see your mommy, crying little bitch.

>>11261525
don't
Mine. This took 5hrs plus 2hrs of touch ups later on. I'm happy with how it turned out even though he fucked up in a few places. And there's some scarring in places too
>>11268288
looks like cyberpunk tribal. not bad.
>>11268126
OK so its cool to have random trash drawn on your arm if its well done
oh sweet
>>11263663
hard as fuck lol
>>11267751
Fraktur is god tier for tattoos as far as I'm concerned. the only text I have is in Kochfraktur, a revival cut, but generally prefer burgundica as my go to fraktur
>>11263708
>you skin should look best immediately after you're done poking it thousands of times with a needle
>>11268600
The ink on any tattoo looks deepest on the day you get it and the day you die.
Has something to do with the blood oxidizing
Unfinished, need to finish some colors
Plus it got swollen af cause bitch skin
>>11268674
probably the best tattoo I've seen shared from someone here. the skull's a bit edgy, and poorly done too, but it still looks good as a whole and isn't an incredibly cringey, corny and/or trendy, dork's first tattoo obviously inspired by the internet shit like
>>11260774
>>11260775
>>11260785

Goosling was on-point that whole movie.
>>11267138
No. Its literally Harry Styles-core, Tumblr-core, i'm so random XD-core all in one.
It looks so fucking stupid.
>>11262665
Prepare for "Haha, your tattoo is is making my OCD go crazy, anon!"
>>11260919
true
anything can look feminine or masculine depending on the social context
men used to wear pink dresses and wigs just 200 years ago to be masculine
ancient greek women who weren't born with unibrows stuck animal hairs between their eyebrows because it was a symbol of beauty
genetics is an entirely different topic, but symbolism has been changing for centuries
anyways, those tattoos are both beautiful and would look awesome on a guy imo
>>11260785
dope as fuck
>>11264397
corny as hell
>>11265569
you clearly own a computer
life is meaningless and short, who are you to tell people not to spend their slavery money on something they want
nice pic related though
>>11266252
i like the concept, i just think the design is a bit generic and yeah maybe you should consider something that blends with your arm
on the other hand, i still think framed tats look dope
>>11268081
this
if you're not getting tattoos in order to project an image you're just as shallow as those who want tattoos to stand out
i guess it's cheaper, but you're still a speck of dust trying to be ~unique bb
>>11261619
At first glance I would think you were showing off that your sign is Cancer.
>>11261749
oh m god no
>>11261492
I don't have any tats but that's total bullshit my man, and you know it.
>>11265801

>>11267114
i was painting senpai
>>11268874
thanks for the feedback
I'm going to think about it for a while longer yet, maybe draw up some more designs. I want something pretty simple though
is there a name for tattoos like this
>>11269689
regret
>>11269514
What do they mean
>>11269689
>tfw no degenerate qt gf
>>11269700
>What do they mean
The frog is just my animal, and this one is fat like i used to be in all my childhood/teenage, and rotten like in my early adulthood (hence the "corrupt")
The dog is my childhood dog who represent my innocence, and when she died she took that with her. That's why she got wings.
("Forsaken" because it feel more like my innocence leaved me instead of me leaving my innocence)
The meaning is cheesy as fuck, but hey it mean a lot for me.
>>11269689
>>11269712
This new thrend of completely blacking out your arm is so stupid, I mean it doesn't look that bad now but once the trend wears off they will completely retreat it, black ink looks like shit after 5 or six months.
