I have had my eye on these for a long time . But lack of money sucks
DurfBurfle
Many tattoos here - these must be crazy expensive (and probably pretty short lived) but look SOOO DAMN COOL
Misteree8
The next trend is stitching a patch to human skin
ucandcantunc
Active people would get that caught on something all the time….
hemanwomenhatersclub
That is mad rad. I need a dedicated metal head to make his skin his “patch jacket.”
trikucian
As someone who loves tattoos and embroidered patches, man, do I hate this kind of tattoo
PracticalCuddles
Are.. are they removable?
OxJunk
I’ve never needed something so badly till right now!!!!
TwoStupidDogs
Trip is a nice word
timmargh
I got Hobbes:
Firstena414
That's really cool
kylefromterminator
Bet that feels great after getting jab by the tattoo gun a million times
xenorac
Are these really stitched to the skin?
tlcthetexan
NOPE
lordbullvine
Shit rots don't it
SteveDGamingAcc
Very cool
foreverplay
How long would one of these bad boys take and how much?
mebe21
I paid $400 and took 2 hours to get mine about the same size as what's shown.

Always wondered if you could graft a patch to your skin. Guess this would be the closest you could get.
mydogsfartswillkillyou
very cool
flipj
Those are AMAZING. Love the last one.
SimpleGoings
Uncomfortable
Haphazzard
Why can I see how this feels
ButcherofBakersfield
thats not only really good work, but the clients healed well also.
rastaX
These creep me out for some reason.
HealerwithaGreatsword
Yeah I thought it was gross when the hands were "trying to pull the patch off"
bryanthehumanbeing
Seriously. It makes you imagine they stuck a needle through their skin a bunch of times.

TestSubject86
For me it's the treads on the fringe. Bugs me that they can never be trimmed.
SwayzeS
I am not a fan of tattoos, in general, but even I have to admire artwork so good, it appears to be stitched onto your skin! Great work!
Poseidoposeido
How do this age?
RigoryMorty
Same as any other tattoo.
DatDataDude
Same rate as the person it’s on.
davemymindisgoingicanfeelit
it do be like that
AnythingMuchShorter
The strands start to come loose and then thread fades with sun, it might also accumulate grime in the thread.
theguythatdidthething
one day at a time
hamburgerfilmsandwich
not well. over time ink expands in the skin so all the fine lines that make this tattoo have the stitching effect will gradually fade
Trelis
The person touching the first tattoo, they have zero pigment. Are they a vampire, albino, vampire albino?

rubber glove
Trelis
Ah, see it now, thanks.
navagon
These are extremely well done. Wouldn't take much for these to be garbage, but they're damn fine.
certainlynotaserialkiller
There are only a very few artisis in the world that can do these properly.
mebe21
I got one at C2E2 this year that I love. Guy has quite a few that are gorgeous on his instagram too.
navagon
I don't doubt it. That's a very difficult effect to achieve in a tattoo.
Brockvegas
I love the little details like loose string. Fantastic!!! Appreciate the talent needed to do this level of quality!
a2s2020
Funny because the loose string annoys me. Total respect for the skill and artistry but not that specific detail
Brockvegas
Think of when you rip a badge off a garment, little strings. See? ?
a2s2020
I know that, I just don't like that particular detail. If I had a tat like that, I'd have it without the loose threads
FullTimeDisaster
While I love these I would be interested in seeing one a few years old to know how they fade
RigoryMorty
About the same as any tattoo.
Sylon
After about a decade or so I would get it touched up but with frayed threads along the edges.
LucidAftermath
White usually doesn't last long. It's goes kinda brownish.
LokiAtItAgain
And blow out… sad fact of ink, the canvas, the type of needle, and the artist
bustercuster
I don’t know (or want to know) what kind of ink my budget tattoos were made from but they are over a decade old and are as dark ever.
MikeyOhno
Sausage theory in action
MelfsAcidArrow
Mine are over 20 years old and also still very fresh looking. The powers of lotion and sunblock
Hagenman
I took a deep look into myself and realized I'm way too fucking lazy for that shit, so good on ya. also thigh tattoos covered by shorts ftw
MelfsAcidArrow
Hah yeah mine are in a good spot too - feet and back. Usually covered and low friction
StarscreamAndHutch
Do you have low level superpowers now?
bustercuster
Yes. I can drink 400 mg of caffeine and still be tired.
StarscreamAndHutch
farfie
I can't have 10mg without feeling like I'll die. I should get tattooed.
CONIN
I'm not an English spoken person, do you mean that your tattoos have not faded much over that amount of time? Thanks!
Ay1mn30n
Yes. That is what they meant. "As dark as ever" = "Looks about the same as when I got tattooed"
bustercuster
Thank you and yes this is what I meant
1lastaccount
With the new inks. And methods of tatting and proper care they'll shine for 7 yrs before fading starts.
eggmuffin
You say that as if that's a long time.
pareidoliaperson
So I guess I'll come about 5 years short of the 7 year itch before I get "itchy" (in this case...I mean basically all cases) tired of it.
CONIN
Any particular brand/type of ink I should request/ask for? Thanks!
Ahridan
You wont, the artist uses the machines/inks they personally have preference for, everyone is different, and the equipment normally comes 1/2
Ahridan
out of their own pocket, so its their money being used to buy the products they use.
edalton454
MRI tech here, Do Not Get ink with metallic particles. There is a chance of capturing RF energy and burning your skin during an exam.
StoneEagle74
How long you been a tech? 20 yrs my end. Only one tattoo issue, eyelid permanent make up done overseas. Only worked 1.5 and under though...
edalton454
MRI 20 years, now retired. Before that 10yr diagnostic, CT, Angio, Special procedures. All but US.
dmjalund
didn't Mythbusters bust this myth?
edalton454
Not sure how. Trade journals and books show images of limbs burned.
eggmuffin
First season mythbusters had dubious methodologies, at the best of times.
CaptainUnderpantsReporting
Yes they did...
Itry2dostuff
Like in their first season
HypnoCT
The women who won’t admit they have permanent makeup are usually the funniest. ‘You will burn…’ ‘wh-what?’ Muwahahahaaa
Imdead124
Permanent makeup? I didn't know such a thing existed
Captaintippie
My aunt has alopecia, so she has her eyebrows as permanent makeup/tattooed
moffit
a relative got tattooed lipstick in case she forgets to put the real stuff on... not even a nice color on her imo but i kept my mouth shut
