I have one tattoo. Agreed to get one with my sister. Just not for me. Plan to have it removed. Assumed by laser but some people have 1/

Suggested saline removal. Anyone know much about it or what works best? I don't care about cost just want want works best. 2/

A tacosourus. Nice.
MrGlitchyypants
I agree, that one was my favorite out the bunch, but I don't know why.
CloseupCaptionReaction
Is it because of the Taco, or the dinosaur? One does not know, for no one dared ever mixing them up!

Here’s my first tattoo:
InverseNarnia
mrsrowan
Explain pls
InverseNarnia
Got this one for free, never had a job before, when I do, I'll use my first paycheck to get a second tattoo
mrsrowan
How’d you get such a good tattoo for free?
InverseNarnia
You'll find out in July ;)
LittleHappySnail
Is it just me or have tattos gone hipster?
girrocks001
I'd argue more mainstream than hipster. Although certain images are super hipster now, like a solid black line up the arm.
Ravenbreaker
Kinda like how Tribal tattoos became synonymous with douche bags lol
TotallyNotYourCat
Here is mine:
Tinebra
I so love it! I'm considering myself to one like that someday, I love aliens :)
KamonDS
Gilganesha
I'm not sure but I think they are related. The eye would be a reference to Death while the fox would refer to Delirium (The Sandman)
savagestarshine
That's not the usual death eye makeup that's referenced, but it's possible I guess
ShinsetsuTenshi
That's most likely an Udjat eye, the eye of Horus, which symbolizes protection, royal power, and good health.
WildStingingMapleleaf
Is it weird to ask for artist credits? It seems to be in a different category because the piece is on someone and it’s not like the 1/2
WildStingingMapleleaf
tattoo artist is going to sign it, but it was still made and likely designed by someone in a skilled profession who should get credit. 2/2
unlikeableonline
Tattoo or not giving proper credit to artists is important.
CoBr2
Plus I really want whoever did that first one to tattoo me...
istouche
The canada one made me laugh!

Awesome!

i was scroll looking and had to double back to laugh at it again.

Yup... :D
ADisturbedOne
I love it too, if I was Canadian, I'll get the same thing but Im not from there!
stoutde
Do the ones with wild and vivid colors stay that way?
[deleted]

ShiftyToaster
Reds, oranges, yellows fade way faster than other colors. I have one with a lot of shading - stays nice w proper care and touch up every 3yr
ShiftyToaster
It has a lot of deep blues and a bit of watercolor so it is a bit more high maintenance than most. Sunscreen, moisturizer.
girrocks001
Sunscreen every day if exposed, moisturizer as well. Some colors fade faster than others anyway; yellow goes the fastest that I've seen
allhailbettywhite
I get it! A Bowie knife. Haha
bobiecorwen
Thank god you're here, didn't get it XD
BigHeadWeb
Aaaaaaaaand now I get it.
GyroPunk
I'm very sceptical that a lot of these will remain good tattoos
CyberAkuma
I'm pretty sure a handful of these are temporary, so yeah, I REALLY doubt those will remain period.
GyroPunk
Idk, even in the more colourful/intricate ones you can see the areas shaved and if you zoom in more,draw strokes from the machine.
ihateimgurffs
Who cares. renew them, move on.
Chronicle
I've always held the opinion that if I love my tattoo for 10-15 years, then don't love them later, they were worth it for the time i did
GoliathSkittles
Pretty much how I thought, they look good fresh but colours fade, edges blur, a lot of these intricate and geometric ones will get soft
zomnoms
The watercolor ones don't do well over time, they need black ink to stop them totally running into eachother, also yellow goes real fast
somedaystherejustarentenoughrocks
Sorry to sound jaded but I suspect several of these may possibly be photoshopped. Just sayin. Nice pics tho.
GyroPunk
That's very possible, although I have seen amazingly vibrant tattoos before, just don't tend to age well at.
imablankyourblank
#18 is going to become a permant bruise.
DadBodPorVida
Why
JRoyalSmoochie
I wouldn’t say so... it’s usually when it’s too small that over time it’s hard to distinguish beteeen a tattoo and smudge
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Small details will get lost in the tree, and the very bottom there isn't much contrast between purple and black, it'll smudge together.
girrocks001
The bottom ring: agreed. The middles going to lose intricacy and be broccoli in 10 years too, but that purple may look good even faded
peewhee
Nah gonna look like they just finished some pseudoscience cupping shit
MistressLyda
And what do you think the marks from that is? Paint?
peewhee
Yo the purple is obviously ink...
Princessbubblecum

If you can understand what the person is trying to say then don't be THAT person and correct them. It's annoying.

For the record, the deleted comment was a complaint about how the user had to scroll through all the pictures to find #18

I actually did not know that. Was about to do what the deleted comment guy did and be really annoyed about it. Just made my life way easier!

To be fair, up until recently it never worked for me. It was only about a month ago that it started working. It used to refresh the page.

Doesn't work for me either. Never did. When I click the number, it's just a link to the post itself.

Nice and clean. I like. Isn't that a logo for some company? Not that it matters, still a nice tattoo. :)

Will the space cat look good in the future? I loove how it looks!

Awesome, may I ask who was the tattoo artist ?

Agreed I’d love this style with a bear.

Oh God! I never considered! What ever will I do to satisfy a vague God now?!
Kangadilla
As much as I love tattoos, I don't think I could ever get one. There is no such thing as perfect, and the slightest imperfection would drive
CorgiSpaceKing
I got a little mistake on mine, not driving me crazy but annoys me haha :)
ihateimgurffs
you are not perfect. Why are you still sane?
dancesloth
Life ain't about being perfect bro <3
PleasantPeasantPheasant
Same but #8 is on point.
ThaneofGlamis
Mine aren’t perfect but I like that about them. It shows they’re made by a person and not by a machine with perfect lines.
PFranzAndThePrez
Calm down. Life is full of imperfections, you said it yourself. Tattoos are not about being perfect.
ooglecat
you could get one on your back so you won't be able to over-analyze it
Sweetumsbrandflavoredcondom
Mine tell my story. Complete with imperfections.
Clarhilary

vindik8or

WhoElseWouldTakePsyczAsAUsernameFFS
Exactly. Imperfections make them perfect. Woah can you even say that?
governmentgavemeagun
Imperfections make them REAL.
SirSilvioBerlusconi
It's about having a nice experience. I really don't care what my tattoo artist puts on me. I like the feeling and to look at it everyday.
SirSilvioBerlusconi
And no, there is no story or things to tell about my tattoo. But its art for me, pretty fucking dope art.
littlemirrorsatourfeet
I feel you. I wish I could find a good artist and just give them a canvase to go crazy on. Every artist I've met has looked at me like 1/2
littlemirrorsatourfeet
I'm nuts when I just say I want "art" and ask them what they'd like to draw...2/2
SirSilvioBerlusconi
@jeppedahl on IG is my tattoo artist. Look him up. He does art! Hope you find one
Kangadilla
Me insane. Even 'abstract' stuff that isn't suppose to make sense can still have shaky line work, shallow color saturation, etc. There is
italyball
Then don't get one on the front of your body where you can see it? Even an imperfect tattoo I think is beautiful because it's decoration
Benji1990
The beauty in a Tatto is the imperfection in it, it makes it unique. I drew mine myself and enjoy its imperfections everyday! :)
rugtiestheroomtogether
Exactly:)
Kangadilla
Just so many areas, and no matter how good the tattoo, you can ALWAYS find a flaw. And that would be hard for me to know that there is
Kangadilla
Something that I can't fix or adjust. Though most would never notice, as there wearer of the tattoo, you'll notice every little detail.
dragonfliet
Is your body absolutely perfect right now? Does it drive you nuts at all times? Same thing with a tattoo. Nothing is perfect, just live.
CosmicHeir
It's really not so bad honestly. Although yes you may notice the details that are off it won't bug you as much as you may think
Shitheid
I got a tattoo with the intention it would fade to look like a birthmark. It faded perfectly but I cant see it because it’s on my ass
cynicatt
I feel the same way. People always look at me weird when I explain that. I'll get one some day but it has to be from someone really skilled.
ElvisPelvis
I am also pretty finicky so i got my tattoo on the back of my calf where i can forget about it I grow to dislike it.
ZOMGNO
Absolutely agree.
Salpinus
At first I noticed some (and I can be extremely focused on such). Now I'm sometimes surprised that I have tats when I look in the mirror
Salpinus
Sort of: OH RIGHT! I DID actually get those 10+ years ago. And then get back to brushing my teeth and noticing flaws on my body instead...
Pantheraleo48
Breh. No offense but I think you need some weed
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
I felt the same way, but the one I have isn't perfect and it honestly doesn't bother me. Got it for a reason, and that's what important
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
But it's your body, if you don't want one don't let other people talk you into it. Because then you definitely wouldn't like it
idkjustaname
While I understand your point, I often forget I even have tattoos in the first place. It isnt as bad as you think
TheOleRizzleDizzle
This is just a normal feeling before getting one, you will not feel this way after
Sticklebrickk
Look up single line tattoos, then find a damn good tattoo artist
Muttons1337
Everyone's different. That style might not mesh with them. I'm personally not a fan.
MaverickTama
Meh after a few years you forget its there and accept the flaws like the rest of your body. I got nailbunny on my shoulder and hes just 1/2
MaverickTama
A part of my arm now. Some of the color faded and with it my insecurity about the shading work done. It all works out. Go for it dude.
