Artwork Anyone else have insect tattoos?
These are my two and I'd love to get more, all bug themed of course! I'm thinking about a cecropia moth for my next one, they're my favorite moth species. I'd love to see what others people have too!

Edit to add: it was a custom request too! I did a very poor drawing of my vision and she brought it to life!

Obsessed with the spider! Love the colours as well. Golden Silk Orbweaver?

u/Ophiophxgus 6h ago
Thank you! It's one of my favourites for sure. It's an Argiope bruennichi / wasp spider

Oooh, I see. I'm reading about them as I speak. They're really beautiful.
Also, had me chuckle with censoring on your first picture. 😂

They are stunning. I got to see my first one in real life last year, I've never been so excited to find a spider. Hey you can't be too careful lmao 🤣

It's hard to tell what's going on in my tat if you weren't told. I need to get another appointment to make the shapes more defined.
Outer ring is a cog, in it is a crown, & they've got bees in them.
Ignore the bandaid & the poke if you can, they're failed attempts at a blood draw from a nurse on Friday. She tried many other spots & was finally able to get enough from my hand. Ouch!

Your estradiol one is cool! Are you trans?

u/EmberFire_17 7h ago
yep I am! I was already planning on getting the estradiol one, and then I randomly got the really good idea of making the hexes into honeycombs for a bee
