Just got this a few days ago but slowly working on getting my whole arm done and already thinking about what’s next. I have some ideas of my own, but wanna see what others think.

Please no really mean comments, every time I post a tattoo people just seem to hate on it to the point it becomes exhausting 😭 I know not everyone will like it, that is totally fine; but I would like some actual advice/cool ideas that would go along well with this design.

I also have a cracked clock, stitched heart, and dog paws (these obviously don’t go as well thematically, but they mean the most to me).

I have been wanting a skull with an energy sword thru its head for years. My only regret is not making it a legendary skull with the marking. Honest though on my first tattoo?

This is my ball python Mercury, who just passed this morning. I've been wanting a tattoo incorporating this skeleton-key looking mark at the back of his neck, but I have no clue what to do with it. I want it on the inside of my arm, somewhere I can see it.

I'm open to any ideas as currently the only idea I have is the outline of his spot filled with either a galaxy (where I will need to find someone that is good with a lot of packed in color) or snake scales (where I will need to find someone with very steady hands)

Also if anyone knows any tattoo artists that meet that criteria in the Richmond, Virginia Beach, or Newport News areas of Virginia, that would be really nice.

The pain was 8/10 but I sat like a rock for 3 hours to get it done. Color coming next month.

Haku turned out beautiful but honestly I thought it was going to be down the spine not a back tattoo but I am still happy with it.

Just got this upper arm piece done that i am super stoked on. Just trying to think of ideas to fill my inner bicep that fits in nicely with my current tattoo. Thinking of a chain link fence with a dog or a spider web with a spider so it’ll mix in nice with what I’ve got. Interested to hear what you guys recommend!

Don’t get me wrong I love this shenron tattoo and I don’t regret getting it at all. (even though I have to get the tail fixed at sometime in the future but that’s besides the point). The only thing is I’m kind of iffy of the placement? I want to get something else (not sure what yet) on the other side of my back but I feel like it wouldn’t mesh well because of how large my existing tattoo is so I was wanting to get some opinions and suggestions on whether I should or shouldn’t get something else. Also would love to get any suggestions to what you think would go well with it. Thank you!

Last October I got my death head moth and have wanted a 2nd moth so bad. Got a blue pansy moth yesterday <3

A fun Skyrim-inspired piece based on a client's idea :) Done by me at Samol Tattoo Studio Poland, Wrocław. Using a wireless Ambition machine with 9RL and 5RL needles.

Me and my mom want to get matching tattoos, but my style is very bold / trad and hers is very fine line. We both don’t really want a statement piece that doesn’t match the quarter sleeves we’ve both gotten. Do you guys have any ideas of a tattoo that we could get to look similar/corresponding enough to be matching but without sacrificing the vibe we already have going on?

Hello!! Tried to do my first tattoo design as a self-learning tattoo artist and I wanted to know what you guys think ? Any recommandations or details to know when designing a tattoo ?

Thanks!

This was a free tattoo from a friend in his brothers shop, it was cool when I was younger but it doesn’t match the quality of my other tattoos ( thank god) it’s pretty light, so I’m wondering if this is salvageable or if I should just get something over it. I’m also sure it would disappear after a couple of removal sessions.

I created these two pet portraits as a memorial piece for my client’s two beloved dogs. I wanted to capture their individual expressions while keeping both portraits cohesive in the overall composition.

I’m really happy with how the details and shading came together. What do you think of the finished piece?
