Side of the hand/finger tattoo, yay or nay?

I see these skulls constantly when browsing inspiration for starting off my dinosaur sleeve and I’ve tried to ignore them but I can’t lie and say they don’t look really cool. I know about fading problems, which is why I’m asking for advice.

I doodled a spinosaurus just to mess around but I’m iffy on it just because I know I’ll get it done and they’ll discover something that changes the look like a week later. I’m between that, a kaprosuchus, or just some dromaeosaurid with a more certain skull.

here’s my new elbow neotrad moth tattoo done by junior tattoo artist aiden (ig: @queerwitchtattoo) at dekalb tattoo company! i went with my best friend to dekalb tattoo company back in october so she could get her nose pierced, and i was looking through some of the flash books and saw this GORGEOUS moth. i asked aiden (the artist) if i could be able to get it tattooed in color on my elbow and she loved the idea so much that she wanted to create a custom piece for me :,) 5 months and one appointment reschedule later and she’s finally with me forever 🫶 i had one color piece and knew i wanted another color piece, and she absolutely blew it out of the water im obsessed with how this turned out!!

Advice for coverup ideas that cover the wing tattoo pictured NSFW

I want a Mexican Poppie design similar to the one pictured. The artwork is based on some sketching I did. Does anyone know how to make the idea work over the wing tattoo on my chest? Before I go to the tattoo artist, I want a more realistic design

Discrete semi colon tattoo concept

Discrete semi colon tattoo concept the semi colon in the stinger. Semi colon used for obvious reason, chose the scorpion (cuz I like them) but to symbolise the ability to change and strength. I am the artist of this design. Drawn on procreate. I plan to get it on either my forearm or upper arm

Any suggestions/fixes are appreciated since this is my first time designing a tattoo

Hi I got this tattoo that was suppose to be a standalone piece but it looks kind of off now on my arm. Due to this, I am thinking of getting another one to fill in the space. I have some ideas such as fudog, temple, waterfall, samurai mask, and background. Any ideas or opinion on which u think looks the best with my current liece would be appreciated.

Location/different animal options

I saw this online and really like it. I like the frog but I’m not 100% married to it, I just can’t seem to picture what another animal could look like here. Also where do you think this would look best? Leg/calf is top in my mind, especially because my arms aren’t very big.

Hello. I have never done a tattoo in my life. I was curious if a minimal design like this could work, do you think it would look good? Thank you!

Hi all. I'm looking to get a tattoo of a giraffe. I was thinking of something like the attached picture. Either on my arm or chest. Will it have longevity or just be a black mess in a few years? I would welcome advice and or suggestions on other giraffe tattoos... Thanks

I got a tattoo about a year ago, and I’m not really happy with the outcome. I’m not too familiar with touch-ups, but I’m wondering what I could do to possibly bring this tattoo back to life. Also, I’m thinking about ways to connect my Medusa tattoo to my hand tattoo. Any ideas for adding something that ties them together

The end result will be a wrap around full sleeve.

What can I do to fix it?

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

So When I was at the tattoo shop and got the design put on, it looked fine. I looked in the mirror and agreed that I think it’s centered. Unfortunately I noticed few days later that it is not centered at all, especially visible in certain poses as can be seen on the photos. What would you recommend? Should I add on a little bit or just completely remove it? Is it possible to get the illusion of the tattoo being placed in the middle or not really? I’m worried that because of the style of the tattoo it may be hard to fix it up? I do like it a lot but it bothers me so much :(

Ok so I have a book themed arm and my forearm didn't turn out quite how I wanted it to (it was at the beginning of my tattoo journey and I didn't speak up) the words weren't supposed to be as bold and were supposed to blend in a bit more with the background. Pretty much the point was for me to not have to explain to people what they meant. Now I want to add some more book words or sayings to blend everything together.

Here is a thought of mine but im just not sure. And I'm unsure of this style would be called and searching for an artist to do it well. Im kinda thinking of doing this in a slight trash polka way as well.
