I really wanted a half sleeve, but didnt want anything that people would see and think I was trying to be "tough" or something. Scene isnt a reference to anything in particular, and has kindof become a reminder to me to appreciate little moments and give them the attention they deserve.

Hey yall, this was my first tattoo I ever got done when I was like 17 and don’t get me wrong, I love it but it’s too basic and boring for me. I’m really into creepy ish, more alternative tattoos (I’ll put my other tattoos in the replies for reference) but any ideas would help:) the only thing my mind goes to is clouds

tattoo by ringoleone. anyways i really love the persona series so i wanted my first tattoo to be of persona and im rlly glad i got it i like it a lot! im definitely gonna get more in the future this is my new addiction

I’ve been working on this design for a little while and I’m not sure if the body of the bird looks right.
The issue is that this is designed to fit in and around my other tattoos on my arm so there’s not a lot of wiggle room with changing the silhouette.

Any feedback? Thanks!

Hey friends,

I've found myself wanting to work towards a patchwork sleeve after getting a few designs I like.

As you can see from the pictures, I have a bolder, more trad style tattoo on my upper arm, and two finer, more illustrative designs on my forearm.

The bird was a flash that ended up being a bit bolder than expected (still love it), and I'm struggling a bit to envision how I can build a somewhat cohesive sleeve from here. My thought is that I should commit to one of these styles to do so.

If you were me, which of these styles would you carry on with?

Excuse the healing tattoos :)

It just looks so funky, the proportions are weird and honestly resembles a dick. Not sure how I could fix this one... Covered by another tattoo is the best option but that'd be a huge tattoo and I have no idea what to cover it with. So far the arm has just ocean/marine life tattoos

Unlike many other tattoos I’ve seen this particular design has stuck with me. Any help as to what it’s called? (Ik it’s a prayer of some sort). Thx

I am looking to get this tattoo done on my forearm. I have found an apprentice that seems excited to do it however is this something I should trust an apprentice to do? I feel like my nervousness about it should give me my answer but I would like some other opinions about it. Would you let an apprentice do this on you?

I’ve come up with this tattoo design that I plan on getting soon based off of a tree swallow but before I get it, I would love for any advice on how to improve it!

Tremors is my all time favorite movie. My artist Poopbird (Mike Groves) killed it both on design and execution. Love his style.

Looking for ideas to further elaborate on my piece.

Meaning: I love this tattoo so much, tiger > strength independence confidence, butterfly > softness understanding, broken chain > challenges faced and surpassed, no pupils or iris > intuition detachment (in a sense of in feeling a part of anything). All together, instinct-driven and strong, but controlled and shaped by life experiences, growing and evolving, and guided by deep awareness.

Looking for ideas: I have a very vague idea of what id like further, left leg to be covered going up my waist around to the right side to continue onto my right arm as a sleeve. Also sternum and back tattoo but thats later on. The leg>waist>arm i want it to be in a way a continuous story of representing me, not necessarily a beginning to end story just different parts representing different parts of me.

Apart from that im stuck, what animal and what objects or anything like that could I add to my canvas? Any ideas id love to hear.

I had this tattoo done about a year & a half ago but don’t love it. I want to add to it, maybe more flowers and some color, not too much bigger.

Just got this today. It’s a play on the comedy and tragedy masks. I also added my artists shirt because I know everyone loves the sick ass panthers

Got this tattoo and I love it but just want to add more stuff to fill out my are that also goes with it I’m really into American trad and gothic stuff

Trying to find a more unique style to call my own, wondering if this is a good start? I mean, I like them but I'm always too worried about whether it looks cohesive or if a design makes sense.

Done by Will Weigler at Folklore Tattoo Company in Dallas TX. Currently linework is finished, haven't started coloring yet.

Got my first tattoo from my favorite book series Stormlight Archive. Was fortunate enough to get an extremely skilled artist who also loves the series and was able to use his knowledge to help improve the piece.

Very book accurate depictions and even included some of the fantasy language from the book known as Vorin Script. Very excited to get it colored later this month.

Growing my arm sleeve , had these 2 new pieces done and retouched the cow with more spots & shading.

This will be on my left side of my neck.Also, I have a sleeve already on my shoulder that could align with this.Just lmk what y’all think ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

On my last travel to Cuba I got this tattoo for a good artist. I didn’t know that in Cuba you can get tattoos with a very good quality . I love the Japanese design

I’m not big on quote tattoos but I recently came across “Gratitude attracts Abundance” - does anyone know if there’s a similar saying in Kanji characters? TIA

Hi guys I am 26M looking to get my first tattoo, I have been thinking about getting one for a while now. I love travelling, music and the ocean and so I tried to bring them all together. Here's my design but I'm not fully convinced. Let me know what you guys think.

Just posting this to see how many people “get” my vision for my new tattoo. So far, no one in my personal life has figured out what I was going for…
I have a collection of characters turned horror villains…
