Took two sessions 12-13hrs

Had a blast designing and tattooing this!

Got this about 3 weeks ago. I'm not sure how I feel. I want to make changes. I like it overal. I'm not sure what you would call the style I was going for. But there was a lot of white, now almost all the white faded. What changes would you suggest, if any? I feel like there's some areas where the illustration could be stronger. I think I also had very high expectations. I'm new to tattoos, but I did go to art school. So I have a bit of an eye.

I have this tattoo of DEATH. I want to extend it so it wraps around the leg. To do this I would like to include references to other Discworld characters and stories. Maybe even a nod to Terry Pratchett, but I don't want humanoid figures in the tattoo.

What Icons can I include to bring in the wider world of Discworld?

Hey all, new here thanks. Looking for a design of similar to bear on California flag and smaller bear inside/under. No colors per se. Dark for big bear on one light on little and dark for little one on other, etc. It's for me and my daughter. Thanks in advance. Don't know how this works. Cheers

Hello everyone, I have a genuine question.

I started to think about my first tattoo (first 3 pics)

This old shoulder black and white tattoo, made it probably 20 years ago originally as a full tribal, and partially covered it up around 9 years ago with a big black illustration cause I felt like it was time to change it.

The result was really nice for my taste, but of course it became quite dense due to the coverup.

I just want to say that I still really love it, so i don't want to fully cover it, but somehow with the time and the other tattoos I got, this one stands out a little too much for my current style.

Also the coverup didn't completely cover the old tribal so there is my back with a residue of the old design.

do you think is possible to rework it with black and white to lighten it up or work around it to the give it a new life? I don’t do colours, so I might need advices on black, grey and white only.

Or maybe do a partial blastover and cover the elements that I don’t like much anymore and keep what I like (I would love the eyes of the lion to be bigger and whiter rather than realisticc and the symbol in the forehead to be more predominant as if is coming out, or make the blurred edges more defined and cover the old tribal residue with black ornamental design).
I attached some images as a reference from Pinterest (image 4-5)

About what I like about the original design and the idea, I like the horns and the water (Aquarius and Taurus are my parents), the woman is me (Virgo) and the lion was simply cause I had a small black cat on a black moon tribal there, but my arm was super skinny at 18, so when I became older and bigger I decided to evolve the cat into a lion. maybe the next step can turn it into an energy feline.

Do you know any artist that works on those white touch-ups, possibly in EU (I usually travel between England, Poland and Italy in case but i can move around if organized properly)?

Thank you again!

So I love Frida Kahlo and I'd like to get some tattoo inspired by her or her work but I don't want it to just be one of her portraits so I've cobbled together this idea with pieces of her work but I can't figure out if it actually looks good or not so please be brutally honest! I'd have the hearts connecting with a line that goes around my thigh and the main piece would be on the outside of my thigh.

Hello! I’m looking to get the sun/moon tattooed on me next week. The only really noticeable tattoo I have is the one on my left arm, on the inside and bottom of the upper arm. The sun/moon tattoo will be around 2-3 inches around. I’m thinking it would look better on my right arm. Placement advice? Thank you!

I found this on Pinterest it's a snake trident ( something related to Shiva) it's a hindu God. I like the design is it good to get it done as a tattoo on my back? Can you suggest placements? and is it a good idea or not?

Open to any and all feedback, composition, styling, etc. its the first tattoo I have designed, not sure if I did anything silly. Does it look balanced? I trimmed the outline of the island back from compass rose too keep it from looking crowded, was that a mistake or does it work? Should I rotate the lettering -45 to match the rotation of the compass rose? Does the inverted coloring on the white orca fit?

The background is the island I grew up on. Orca are kind of big deal around here and I have had a number of profound experiences with them. I am in the PNW so I tilted the compass rose to point PNW instead of north and put our area code on the other points. The I Ching and yin yang just resonate with me and my own philosophies so I thought to incorporate them, especially fitting I thought with orca being black and white also.
