Got this to balance the orca I have on my left calf.

I really love tattoos and if i could i would get tattoos from my leg to my neck lol ,but too scared to get the first step.

I want to get a chest tattoo a gothic castle but it would be too big and my parents would literally disown me ,so i was thinking about a shoulder tattoo or a thigh tattoo where they wouldn’t see it.

I live abroad and i see them once a while but im still dependent on them and i dont want to disappoint them (i already am i guess).

Just super happy with my recent tattoos. Mostly unfinished but soon to be completed

So, after I was finished I just went over it with water and most of it just went of.. so I figured I didn't poke deep enough, so do I go over it again now, or do I wait and do it later?

I just finished my last session, this is my first tattoo what do you think of it? Done in Markham Ontario by Paul at Chronic ink

Those who would harm me suffer their own ill intentions turned back on themselves.

I’m getting my first tattoo soon, and I’m thinking of something like this, any advice? (This is a sketch I did quickly, I’ll ask the tattoo artist to do something better for me)
For placement I was thinking forearm and for color black with maybe shading? Wanted to hear some extra opinions

Question. So I'm mocking up a leg tattoo and I'm torn between having one eye or none!

Btw this is just a draft with ideas from AI, definitely not the final look. I told my artist he re design it how he likes anything below the hand isn't even inspo so ignore that.

4 back to back days of free-hand and line work!

After many sessions, my neo-traditional Japanese sleeve is finally complete.

I’ve always been drawn to Japanese mythology and folklore because the stories are filled with symbols of resilience, transformation, wisdom, and beauty. The dragon represents strength and protection, the koi perseverance through adversity, and the kitsune reminds us that identity is fluid and transformation is part of life. The geisha represents artistry, grace, and feminine strength, while the cherry blossoms remind us that life’s beauty is found in its impermanence. The chrysanthemum speaks to resilience and longevity, and the Japanese maple reflects the beauty of change through every season of life.
Looking at it as a whole, this sleeve tells a story about embracing change, finding strength through adversity, and becoming the person you’re meant to be. Those ideas have shaped my own journey more than I ever imagined, which is why this piece feels so personal.

I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Huge thanks to my artist Anya for bringing this vision to life.

So I posted my worst tattoo in another sub, thought I’d share what’s probably my favourite tattoo now! Hair is receding slightly so getting ahead of it and tattooing my entire head, this is just the start! (Ignore the neck piece, that was done 14 years ago and will be covered). This piece is also covering an ankh I already had on!

Done in two parts. My guy jake was on Ink-Masters, check him out in Season 13!

My customer gave me full free reign, so this is what we ended up with.

Done in 5 hours by Andrey at Powerline tattoo

I asked Andy to combine two paintings and an engraving I like into this piece on my arm.

Fur parents gets it!
