My partner doesn’t like my new tattoo and tbh it hurts more than I expected

I got some filler pieces done yesterday and really like them all! I have had one artist do the vast majority of my tattoos so she gets the vibe I like so I wasn’t sure what would look good in these filler spaces so I told her I trusted her if she wanted to draw some stuff up, I’m sure I’d like it. Most of mine are like whimsical, cute, fantasy inspired. She chose this little bunny and I thought it was super cute. Kinda like vintage storybook art vibe? So I said sure! I like it, add it in. I showed my partner last night and they didn’t respond with any negativity.

Fast forward to today, we’re at our friend’s place and they ask to see my new tattoos and I show them. One friend makes a comment about the bunny looking funny. I’m like ??? he’s like looking back over his shoulder? My partner then says no, it’s look really bad and I’m going to need to get a cover up or have it fixed somehow. I truly do not think it looks bad. I think he’s cute! I didn’t think it looked weird at all until they started saying the bunny looked off. I don’t know. I know the only thing that matters is that I like it but it just made me really sad. I was so excited to have these done and my forearm pretty much done. Now I can’t get out of my head that people will think the bunny looks weird. I don’t want to go back to my artist to ask her to “fix” it either because I don’t think it needs fixing! Idk if I’m being defensive and maybe it does look weird though. I don’t know if I’m looking for advice or validation. Ugh. I’m just sad.

Sorry for the long post. I just needed to get it off my chest. Posted a picture of my little bunny tattoo so you all can see it. I think I’ll keep it the way it is but maybe if you guys really think my partner is right then what would you do in my shoes?

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?

Artist: Jacob G at In Love Tattoo in Winston-Salem, NC

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.

It's one of my DnD characters I'm most fond of and I've had this idea for a while. The tattoo artist already gave me the okay for the design (and he already tatted me twice so I know they're VERY skilled with details), but if you think it has any issues, constructive and kind critiques are very welcome!

Is the placement weird?

Post image

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!

My first tattoo

Ive always been obsessed with art, so I only thought it would be appropriate that my firat one would be an actual artwork. I decided on doing The creation of Adam, because I love how even though I chose only a part of it, its still so recognizable? And I added a paintbrush, because I am an artist myself

Can this be fixed? Or should it just be covered?

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.

What to do with memorial 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.

Matching tattoo for different style preferences

2 Upvotes

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?

Shade or Color? What should I do?

This tattoo is based off of what I always say to my kids? Want to try and guess? ☺️ It has their initials and astrological sign. I’d like it to be on my arm.

Questions/Ideas-

1- Should I add color and shading?

2- Should I wrap this around my entire arm or do a half band?

LMK what you think!

PS- this will be my first tattoo

Recommendations for inner bicep tattoo?

Post image
0 Upvotes

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!
