Ash from Third Eye Tattoo in Vancouver, BC re-inked one of my older tattoos of a wolf howling with a yin yang / a great wave during a full moon in the middle.

What do you think?

I guess i need to work on hands now.

Hey guys, I wanted some help on some filler idea on my leg. Love how it looks but wish it could be more full, any ideas for the small gaps?

Found these pictures on Pinterest. I want something similar to the rose and thorn picture on the bottom right but in the shape/designs of the others.

This sleeve is about 2 months healed. The part that keeps bothering me is the David portrait. To me, the face sometimes looks a bit swollen or older than I expected, but I'm not sure if that's a real issue or if I've just been staring at it for too long.

I'd really appreciate unbiased opinions

I feel like I'm gonna throw up. This is by far the WORST outcome I could have imagined. I hate it so much.

I don't even KNOW the artist's name, all I know is that he’s at Tattoo eNVy. I went with a friend of mine to get matching tattoos and despite already having experience with tattoos, I essentially made every mistake in the book. I did not have a final design until even an HOUR before the appointment (and he ended up “enhancing” what I sent him), I didn’t have much of a say in what we got, and I did not look up the shop or artist before coming in (and when I did, neither had any sort of online presence). Honestly, it's on me that it turned out this way. I "went with the flow"'d too hard and got pressured into getting this.

I'm so fucking upset. Not just with the piece, but with myself. I hate, HATE this piece, and I don’t want to, because it’s there to remind me of a very close friend. But I can’t for the life of me bring myself to accept it.

I'm already trying to contact a more reputable shop to get this fixed. But I'm scared this can only be fixed with a SAP, and even then, it's already REALLY fucking dark.

Is this something I can even try to get fixed? Or should I just cut off my leg and pretend it never existed?

Thank you.

Sorry for the poor quality.. any guesses what the image is? I have tried reversing the image on Google but didn't get any good leads..

So you can see from the pictures I have pretty widespread scarring on my stomach, chest and all up both arms from self harm, which I stopped 10 years ago, this year. Is a tattoo cover-up even possible, and does anyone have a suggestion for a large area like this involving different body parts?

Edit Thank you so much everyone for the responses. I was shocked when I've logged back on after work today and seen the level of encouragement and kind words and advice from this group. I can't respond to everyone there's so many, but I am truly astounded and grateful for all this. Thank you!

Seit Jahren überlege ich mir schon ein tattoo über mein lebenslanges Hobby, die Astronomie machen zu lassen.

Jetzt habe ich mich auf Instagram auf die suche begeben und mir aus den ganzen bildern eines zusammenwürfeln lassen und ich muss sagen, es gefällt mir schon sehr.

Von der größe her bin ich mir noch unsicher, die größe muss für das motiv eigentlich so sein, aber ich weiß nicht ob es bis zu den von mir markierten stellen vielleicht doch besser wäre. Mein Bauch sagt nein

Aber ich würde gerne wissen wie eure Meinung so ist

Woodcut/engraving/ medieval etching style knight‘s helmet. My client wanted a knight’s helmet with their lucky number 13. The adornment at the top of the helmet was inspired by how Suns are drawn in medieval illuminated manuscripts. Thanks for looking!

I think i have massive tattoo shock going on. I know its quality work, im not fishing. Just wondering if the design is pleasing to others eyes

Had the top of the arm done a month ago and the bottom done Wednesday

I’m planning on getting the stain glass window that’s in my childhood home tattooed, and wondering what’s a good placement. I’ve been thinking ribs/ side, back of arm, behind calf? It’ll be 3-4 inches. I don’t want it to be super duper visible like on the outside of my arm, but would like to see it.

It took me about 15 years to decide who the first pokemon was going to be that I ended up getting a tattoo of, and I ended up being able to narrow it down to two of my favorite so I decided to use one of my favorite cards as inspiration to lead to this piece. Super happy with how it turned out. Artist: Strawbunnie Tattoos - Durham NC

A couple pictures of my calf currently. I am excited to continue this piece but I can't seem to think of a great idea to continue the theme with onto my upper leg. Any suggestions?

Hi im looking to get my first tattoo and i was planning in getting it up by my shoulder area.

This is what im inspired by (love the inky flow and the circle in the back).

But i want to modify it to be more of a plant/animal hybrid. So im thinking of asking the artist to make the head a flower or mushroom and then doing roots or vines for the tentacle thingies.

What do you think?

This tattoo design was something I’ve seen on a lot of people and I think it’s cool. I have been looking at it more since finally getting it and I am conflicted. Inspired by LP and other 2000’s icons of a flame design wrap around tattoo. I have been trying to decide if it will end up being a cover up or apart of a full sleeve. Wanting some feedback, thanks.

I worked with my artist and he hand drew every flame on my arm and did his own personal style on it. As well as other artists in the shop agreed and liked the way it had turned out. He told me he loves to draw in a very traditional style. I feel like it should be approached as art but now I am just curious about the look.

Do you think the traditional goes with the more realism tattoo I have, also a wrap around tattoo. I am also looking for ideas for rework and suggestions on colors.

I got this tattoo years ago and it’s supposed to be an H, but I don’t think it reads as an H very well anymore.
I’m not interested in laser removal, so please keep in mind that the existing lines have to be incorporated, not erased.

I’m looking for suggestions that:
Make it read more clearly as an H.
Keep it relatively simple if possible.
Or turn it into a better-designed H while using the existing lines.

I’m open to bolding it, adding lines, shading, negative space, or any creative ideas
