Hi, I’m thinking of getting a kanji tattoo. Does anyone know where I can check the translation, or if there are any standard symbols used for these kinds of tattoos? Thanks!

Last minute trip and wanting to find a shop that takes walkins/last minute bookings. Wondering if there’s a decent artist willing to squeeze in a trad tattoo.

Freehand tribal tattoo made by me in the UK. More work on IG.

Hi,
I want to fill out the negative space on the flower and can’t decide on the color. I like the blue but wonder how it will look on my warm brown skin in a couple of years. The red pops and matches some other tattoos on my arm.

What do you guys think? Other color options also welcome

Hey everyone!

Ketan here from the Eternal Tattoo and Art Studio Ghatkopar, Mumbai India.

I mapped out this stylized rabbit piece directly on the skin using pen markers.

Drawing this freehand allowed me to create a flow up onto the shoulder cap naturally while the decorative swirls and wave-like patterns flow around the bicep.

This is the second session and I've added the shades

Let me know what you think of how the composition sits on the arm!

My lovely wife managed to get a pic of me working while she was suffering while I was tattooing her at The Macabre Arts and Tattoo Festival in Louisville KY, and one of my coworkers grabbed a shot of me working on a blackout sleeve project. My name is Rev. Ton Hankley (@dafatwizard on socials) and I work out of Almighty Tattoos in Belleville, IL.

Shading color and snake body to come

hello,

I'm looking to get my first tattoo but I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all the different artists I've been seeing and I'm not exactly too sure what to even look for in a tattoo artist

I'm looking to get a very small tattoo (Ecco2k "E" album cover) and I'm based in both NYC and Toronto

I'm completely new to tattoos so I'd appreciate any advice on artists to go to or even just a certain speciality name that I should be looking into when searching for artists.

Thanks : )

Custom whimsical piece I got to do to match a preexisting piece on the inside of the arm I did a while back.

I still love it so much. Love how pigmented the greens are. The idea behind it was that I can enter any door I choose to open in life. Anyways, my artist is great. I still make the trip to go get work done despite having moved 500 miles away now.

I wear a 1.5mm x 14 size ring and I’m looking to do a small line with my wife’s initials that hides under the band. Kind of a surprise. Anywhere in Ontario specialize in this?

Looking into getting this fish as a memorial piece for my dad. He was a wedding DJ when I was young that went by Champagne Jam. It is going to be a first tattoo for me and was kind of thinking on the front of my thigh. Is there a better spot it would fit?

Healed over a year, custom client request.

artist: TrailmixTattoos

location: Calgary, AB, Canada

shop: Lowlife Studios

Question: Sometimes I lowkey want to stare and ask people about their tats, and I wonder if you like talking about them? Is it taboo to ask folks about their tats? I'm lowkey a little new to the tat community so please be nice.

Mix of healed and freshly finished. This took 7 sessions for 40 total hours.

Really love how this turned out!

Keep it secret, keep it it safe
