I just found this sub and I would like to share my new Pokémon tattoo. I got this in April by an artist in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and I‘m so happy with it.

The first to slides are the brand new tattoo, on the third slide, the tat is about 6 weeks old and the fourth slide is from today.

The little green leaf is from 2015 (the symbol of my home province in Basque Country) and I didn’t want a cover up for it, but chose this design instead, since I‘ve been dreaming of a Pokémon tattoo for quite a long time.

Umbreon, Shinx and Eevee are my favorite Pokémon, and there are more that might get added somewhen in a few years. 🙂

Finally decided to get a tattoo. I didn’t want anything too on the nose or standout-ish. I found a cool design online of a tribal style Luxray and worked with an artist to tweak it into something completely unique to me.

Luxray is my favorite Pokemon and it’s based off of a lion. I’m in law enforcement and lions are typically associated with the LE field because of their protective nature.

Hope you like it!! ☺️

I’m an apprentice in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!

I wanna do mooooorree 😭 also trading cards with clients is amazing 🤩

Dude sat really well but I felt terrible every time I touched his leg haha

This sort of felt like a way of celebrating since it was one of the first tattoos I got to do after I moved to San Diego! People apologize for wanting shells and palm trees and I'm always like, no dude! It's still exciting for me too!

Got my first tattoo feels absolutely amazing

Starting a Pokemon inspired leg sleeve. It will be my original team from sapphire which was my first game.
Best bug was what we decided to tackle first. I really couldn’t be more happy with it.

All the pieces of the sleeve will be nods to the Pokemon but won’t be outright them. To anyone else this is just a cool beetle.

The flowers are Japanese barberry which we decided on because if you overlay the Hoenn map on Kyushu, Japan the safari zone (the only place you can catch Heracross) lands in an area where these are native.

So stoked on this piece. I love the variation in line weights. I love the placement. My artist is so sick and so pumped for the project.

Artist: Phia Walla at Estuary Tattoo

Tattoo i got a while back as a graduation gift for myself. Artist was @wrenmarietattoos on Instagram.

I love the traditional style of tattoo and know a phenomenal artist in the Seattle area for the 1st one. The 2nd one is more subtle and would be cheaper.

Looking for complete honesty or suggestions on how I can improve these designs/make them look cooler
