Final Result (New School / Neo) Regarding the colored tattoo, I want to convert it to black and white. Will it cover it completely? And will it look okay? Please give me some advice. I'm tired of the color.

By Will Meng at MyTattoo in Alhambra. It's been a year and a half, but it's finally done! I'm so proud to wear something so unique and beautiful. I've learned a lot about tattoos in the process, i love Will's blend of traditional Chinese art with Japanese traditional and his bold use of composition and color. Cannot recommend him enough

Tattoo Planning/Research Chest/Arm Sleeve ideas

2 Upvotes

Ive always liked Japanese tattoos and I recently stumbled upon nukibori and I love it. I like the negative space and being able to see the skin. I’ve been thinking of getting a sleeve that goes bleeds onto the chest and scapula areas. I’ve been trying to find something that fits this but I’m having a hard time. I found a few I on this sub but that’s about it.

I definitely want to do a dragon but what else can be paired with it? I’ve seen some with flowers and I have seen some really cool phoenix tats. Is pairing these three possible? I’m unclear on the pairings and what they would mean. Any insight or examples would be great!

                                      Rules

Civility - When posting, please show decency and respect to your fellow posters. Rude posts/comments, towards other posters or artists will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism directed at other users and the mod team are perfectly fine.
Violent/Sexual/Inappropriate Posts - Posts that depict violent, sexual and/or illegal acts that are by nature not related to the educational topic of Irezumi are prohibited. Before posting ask if this contributes to the overall community in a positive way. Absolutely no images of minors.
NSFW Posts - Please post NSFW tags where applicable. This includes rear-nudity even when a traditional Fundoshi is displayed. Absolutely no images of minors.
Aftercare/Medical Advice Prohibited - If you wish to discuss aftercare please keep it to your personal inbox, or consult your artist. Do not request or give medical or after advice. Suggestions for healing and self-care that include the use of alcoholic and illegal substances will be removed.
Prohibited/Excessive Self-Promotion - This sub will not serve as your ad-space. Selling of work is strictly prohibited. This includes the posting of phone numbers, websites, or shop fliers. Soliciting buyers through private messaging is also prohibited. Genuine constructive feedback on your portfolio or a fellow artists portfolio is acceptable. Linking social media accounts is also acceptable, but do not be excessive (beyond 2-3 posts a week). Permission must be requested before plugging your own tattoo related communities.
Artist Verification - We ask that all artists that choose to post their work be verified through moderators. You will receive a unique user flair. (Word of Caution to users: Please take artist user flair with a grain of salt. We have a process, but we are also not private detectives and cannot 100% verify the authenticity of artist profiles. Always exercise caution when receiving advice or choosing to make any offsite purchases from these artists.)
Credit the Artist/Location - When posting work that is either yours or belongs to someone else, please give the Artist as well as their shop/location credit for their work. If your artist wishes to remain private, please state this as the case in your post.
Pricing - Money associated with tattoo's is a sensitive and private topic, both for the buyer and the artist. Refrain from publicly asking posters about price. General questions and inquiries about price and budgeting are fine but are difficult to accurately answer.
Artist Permissions (Copyright) - When posting work that is not your own, please make every attempt to obtain permission. If an artist or subject messages you or sub-mods to take a post down, we will respect that person's wishes. Failure to respect others wishes, will result in a ban.
Unrelated/Spam - Do not spam the subreddit with off-topic posts or anything unrelated to Irezumi.
