I asked for a jellyfish and wasn't sure what to expect in a slim spot but he delivered! He told he me hand to freehand and I was very excited to see what he would do. I love it!

This is part fresh, part healed. The client asked for a witchy vibe lady and was super happy with how it came out.

Hello! I’ve been wanting to get a rib tattoo for a long time. It will be my 5th tattoo and I’ve got small tattoos done on my lower ankle, back shoulder and side of lower arm before. I would say these previous tattoos did not really hurt that much, the arm was like 2/10, the shoulder was 1/10 and the ankle was somewhere around 4/10. Now I want to make a fine-line, delicate, medium-sized tattoo on my rib (reference attached). I am a bit scared because I’ve been hearing that it hurts a lot and you can even pass out? so I was wondering if anyone has experience and could comfort me because I’m not sure anymore.

plan on getting the other side of my arm done in black work at some point. i do need to return to the original artist as well because a spot on my forearm had a bit of fallout, but it's not very noticeable so i will probably just have him fix it when i schedule him for my inner arm.

I've had this tattoo for about 4-5 months now and other than the minor fallout it's healed incredibly well. these are photos of the forearm section 'fresh'. i'm in love with it and get complimented on it all the time!

EDIT: artist is @jeanpaulmaratt on Instagram! he has multiple studios he works out of.

Filling up my left arm now. Great artist Chris in Waldo kcmo did this. I probably over conceptualized the idea but he managed to make it work and look exactly like I wanted it to and fix some issues with my initial design.

I've had these for over a year and I feel they are too edgy for me, i like edgy, but im feeling insecure around people, what do you think ?and what would you balance these designs with in the blank areas, i also find it hard to fill in the blank spaces with more designs, thank you

Got this tattoo but I feel like it looks a little incomplete. What are the options I could add to it to that would look good

I decided last week at the age of 43 to get my first tattoo. Music has been a big part of my life, helping me get through my divorce and also my mom passing when I was 21. Is it better to leave my first tattoo on its own or have it tie in with something else. I'm trying to keep my left side for mental health tattoos, right side for family, and then who knows where for funny ones.

I want to get my inner arm done once i have the funds, any suggestions? (Witcher themed ofc)

A full back tattoo by me (IG: lapinski_tattoo) at Zaraza tattoo shop, in Warsaw PL. The graphic motif is inspired by the poem “The Divine Comedy”.

Fully healed, zero filters, and finished in under 60 minutes!

What do you think of this kind of humor in tattoos? :)

hey guys ive design this simple crown of thorns tattoo. ive been thinking to get this inked on my traps near our left lower neck. is this good?

I haven’t seen much I like, but I’m very new to tattoos so I haven’t looked into too much and right now I just wanna look into all options!

After years of pondering getting one, finally did the other day. Already thinking of what i'm going to get next. What do you think of this one? This tattoo is one of my cats who was a stray that befriended me and now lives with us. I love how it turned out.

I’m wanting it to work together with my other tattoos so it all flows. I don’t want it above my elbow.

Hey all,

I know this is a very open-ended and subjective question but I am looking for some ideas of a tattoo that complements/relates to my current snake tattoo. I feel like the snake is unbalanced on its own so I am wanting one on my forearm to help with that.

I am into the similar type of line work as the snake. I am leaning towards designs related to nature whether that be landscapes, wildlife, floral, etc. Just simply looking for help with jumpstarting ideas!

Thanks a bunch!

Filip in Portlaoise, Ireland had me back to his private studio today. The main body of work was done 2 years ago. Life got in the way and it was killing me that I couldn't get this work completed for so long.

Filip a person that does serious research on his inks and specialises in Japanese traditional. The inks used here he imported from Japan. They are made by a person called Horishi .The saturation is incredible! Really looking forward to the finished work. Full sleeves and chest and back plate..

I have these in my inner forearm but want something that'll match on the outer so I can start work on a sleeve. Any ideas would be great. Tyia

I really love and identify with Dazai's "No Longer Human" and Kafka's "The Metamorphosis". I am also planning a patchwork sleeve and am considering the following design, roughly 8in x 4in or so on the tricep. Any thoughts?

I am going to get a design similar to this tattooed on my forearm this weekend. Combining fantasy worlds of star trek and lotr is not easy, this is what I came up with as a memorial to my brother. White tree of Gondor in the middle, so I'm asking my artist to include pops of green and silver in the leaves.

I can't quite decide on size, how large would this need to be to see the fine line detail?

Tiger and branches tattoo that I did. Let me know what you think. I´m taking bookings for Berlin and Amsterdam for October and Bogotá (Colombia) in December.

This is my first and only tattoo I got it based off one of my favorite anime’s. It’s been about a year Bonus points if people can guess I’m not really sure about what the style is but I think it’s cool.

I’ve got two swallow tattoos and I’m thinking of adding something small between them. Not sure what would look good, so I’d love to hear your ideas! I’m leaning towards something simple that goes well with the birds.
