Not gonna lie, last thing I'd want as a tattoo is something that looked like a unfinished piece.

+1 for Vancouver, and +1 for Nomi Chi. Have hung out with her quite a few times with friends from Black Medicine, Gastown Tattoo. Rad girl

Now THESE are some tattoos. Unique, expertly executed, a proper style, and respect to the person being tattooed.

WHAT A TWIST

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't understand people's fascination with tattoos. I could never put something so -permanent on my skin like that.

I don't understand either. You're not alone.

I feel like this style of tattoo will not age well. Will blur out and need constant to lunch ups.

You'd actually find that this (other than the v fine scratchy lines) will last a lot better than your typical shaded & coloured tatty

I know some people like this crap but call me old fashioned I prefer nice clear tan tone skin. Tats are hiding it and I don't like it at all

Upvoting from 0 bc I don't agree with you but you're allowed a personal opinion, jeez guys

10 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 12

And I went ahead and downvoted because I disagree. I was under the impression that that's how it worked.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I mean, the part about it being a tan skin tone? Also calling art crap

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Downvoting is literally saying "I don't agree with what you said."

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Understood but I think the downvoting was more about calling them "crap".

Good point

And upvote/downvote are how people agree/disagree with said opinion

The line work is sloppy man, look at it under the microscope you can see

Well you know more than someone who doesn't watch the show...but nothing close to people who practice the art.

As an artist, heh.

Sometime's with them I'm like "Damn I never realized ___" and sometimes I'm like "Really? It looks pretty great to me."
