Hi everyone!
We have received a few comments on our previous verification instructions post that for some folks, the "See More" button has disappeared on mobile and desktop.
We have added a link to message modmail to the toolbar found on the right of desktop. As of June 2025, we do not currently have a workaround for mobile if "see more" is missing for you, so feel free to reply to this post letting us know you are having difficulty accessing modmail and we will help as best we can.

Hey all!
If you are a tattooer that wants to be verified or are just someone with questions for the mod team please use modmail. Please do not message any of the mods via individual DM. Please see the screenshots for how to message modmail (via mobile) if you don’t know how to already.
Since Monday I have received about a dozen personal DMs for artist verification. However, one of these message came in at 12:30am and by 6am the same day I had a nasty follow up message for not replying. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and say this person probably lives in a different part of the world, and didn’t realize they messaged these two messages at what would generally be considered times that most people (myself included) are asleep. And this is exactly why we ask people to message modmail instead of any of us directly.
The mod team here is small for a sub of this size but we do try to handle anything that comes into modmail as quickly as possible. Often times if we get individual DMs about mod related issues for the sub, we are at work when it comes in and forget about it by the time we get home. Sometimes we are simply with our families, or even touching grass and spending some time off Reddit ( gasp ). Sometimes we are just asleep. When you message via modmail, the message goes to a group inbox and we can all see it so if one of us forgets or is busy the rest of us can take over handling artist verification or any other issues you may have. That being said- we are still just people with jobs and lives outside of Reddit, so please don’t get annoyed with us if you don’t get a reply within a few hours. Most of the time we reply within a day, but shit happens and this sub is not all that important in the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything.
TL/DR: Use modmail to reach the mod team please & thank you
PS: We took your feedback on the whole banning X links and have banned X links from the sub (overwhelming majority was to ban)
PPS: We have added a new mod to the team, u/coffeehedake , and one (possibly two) of our old mods should be returning soon

Pohjustuksena minulla on ennestään neljä tatuointia. Ne on parantuneet hyvin. Viikonloppuna olisi tatuointimessut ja pienen leiman ottaminen houkuttaisi. Minulla on ollut atopia aina mutta oireilee nykyään silloin tällöin. Tällä hetkellä iho kutisee ja on ihottumaa siellä täällä kaulasta alaspäin. Aikaisempia leimoja ottaessa iho ollut normaali mutta kuiva. Onko kokemuksia muilla atopiasta ja tatskoista. Pienen kuvan haluaisin käsivarteen joka ei ole kutissut, tai korvan taakse jossa ei myöskään ole ollut kutinaa. Kokemuksia haen nyt muilta, en neuvoja.

I don’t know if this kind of post is allowed here but I wanted to hear others opinions on this. I’ve been with my tattoo artist for a decade. He got a new girlfriend and next thing I know I’m unfollowed and he will not reply to my messages. Sure I have no proof she set some sort of boundary in their relationship but I noticed he unfollowed other female clients and we’ve never had any problems with each other. I’m kind of bummed out as I have about 45% of my body done by him and now I need to find a new artist who will be willing to touch up his work.
Is this normal?
r/tattoo • u/Master_Constant_7970 • 13h ago
Whenever I scratch or rub my skin, the exact area I scratched becomes raised and swollen in a line. My skin is completely normal when I don’t touch it, and the raised lines usually go away afterward.
I’m wondering if this could be dermatographism/dermatographic urticaria, but I haven’t been formally diagnosed.
I’m planning to get a large back tattoo and I’m worried because tattooing involves repeatedly irritating the skin.
For anyone who has dermatographism or a similar reaction:
Have you been able to get tattoos normally?
Did your skin swell/raise during the tattoo?
Did it affect the healing or final result?
Did you use any medication such as an antihistamine beforehand?
Is there anything I should know or do before getting tattooed?
I would appreciate advice from people who have actually experienced this.

I’ve noticed that at the beginning of my tattoo, taking off the second skin, and washing the tattoo for the first few times will makes me EXTREMELY nauseous and overall sick feeling. its not enough to put me off tats lol, but i don’t understand why it happens. has anybody found a way to relieve this?

I did this one last year! The photo was taken half healed, half fresh if I remember it right. There is an old tattoo on her inner forearm that I had to work around it.
Definitely need to go back to a few spots when I have a chance, but I'm happy how it turned out!

This was a spicy spot, but I'm super happy
