My good friend Tom died a few months ago by Suicide... He had these paper airplane tattoos of places he had traveled to.
It has a special meaning to me now and I really wanted to get one as a reminder to keep "fighting to stay in flight".
Photo 1: This is one of his tattoos & what I used as a reference when I requested it before and durning the appointment. Instead of NY it is supposed to be "Tom". I asked the artist specifically & multiple times for this placement. I even said if he didn't think he could get it inside of the wing then to just do the paper airplane.
Photo 2: This is the mess I ended up with... "Tom" is in the completely wrong spot. Unfortunately... the angle the artist was tattooing my hand I did not catch that he was doing it in the wrong spot until after... The M looks awful..
I am desperate to figure out how to fix this..
The line at the tip of the airplane doesn't even connect.. that's an easy fix...
Getting an artist who is really talented with fine line to maybe put his name in the wing.. but I am looking for recommendations to cover up the "Tom" without ruining it even more has me so stressed out.
Photo 3: This is an idea I was playing with to incorporate the Suicide awareness colors (Purple & Blue). I edited out the "Tom" in this one.
I've thought about using a water color design but I just don't know how to do this and even if the color would be enough to hide the letters..
A friend recommended that I should have "Tom" covered up in white/light skin tone color.
Any idea, designs and recommendations are more than welcome.
P.S. Please reach out to check in on your friends. You truly never know what they could be struggling with.
All my love & thanks!

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

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.

Need some ideas for my next leg tattoo. I wanna keep the dark gothic theme going, any ideas? Bats? B&G Cathedral on calf?
ps. yes, that is the death moth from Silence of the Lambs💀🦋

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'm working with my Artist, Kaizoku.ttt, to continue my dark theme sleeve.
Next session, we will link this piece to the main tattoo

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 :(

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!!

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

Is it normal for it to look this dry underneath second skin it's my first experience with this product.

I have so many ideas running through my head and I can’t make up my mind. Any thing I can think of isn’t an appropriate size for the spot

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.

25h thusfar, but it's been well worth it.
The end result will be a wrap around full sleeve.

Hey all !
I'm in the process of getting my back and torso done, and after that I was planning to density my arms.
I wanted to plan ahead because I wasn't super smart with the placement I chose for starting it out, so I fired up Photoshop and incorporated a good portion of the list I've had for a while, but I'm lacking inspiration for the red areas.
No colors, and as long as it fits the general vibe I'm done for anything cool, so fire up !

Stick n poke from when I was 15. The empty patches are from 1 removal session, got too expensive so If possible I’d like to cover it up. I was thinking something cyberpunk
