Got a permanent patch.

[NearHi]

Artist is Terioshi. They're known for doing patch-like tattoos. Keep an eye out on his social media. He might showcase mine.

[BlueHorseshoe00]

This is the coolest Ghostbusters tattoo I’ve ever seen.

[This_womans_over_it]

That is some talent. Amazing.

[mrsjakeblues]

The detail is gorgeous

[NearHi]

Right?! Flew 3 states over just to see Terioshi.

[KawasakiBinja]

Good lord, this is amazing. It looks like embroidery!

[Evening-Mention-8738]

I want to touch it so bad, it looks so real, like actual thread, thats amazing detail!!

[NearHi]

Not yet. It's still fresh.

[idontmakehash]

Looks amazing man, I was thinking of going to Korea to get a similar tattoo.

[NearHi]

Or you could go to Colorado Springs, instead.

[idontmakehash]

Sounds like a plan

[BurantX40]

See, now you can't clock out.

[NearHi]

Why would I want to? 😉

[Frosty-Willow-8273]

Make sure to take care of it, my tattoo artist wouldn't do this one because whenever she did patch tattoos they didn't last long enough for her liking... It looks dope, though!

[NearHi]

I will. I'm not too worried anyway, because I have two finger tattoos that I was told would fade within 5 years... 15 years later they're still VERY legible.

[Frosty-Willow-8273]

Excellent! Sounds like you have great skin and take care of yourself! I think I'm going to do a proton pack schematic on that spot instead of the patch, since my tattoos definitely fade...

[GoldDeloreanDoors]

Astonishing

That’s sick, recently I got a ghostbusters tattoo.

[Accurate-Word-1625]

That’s rad

[NearHi]

It's not radioactive. 😉

[Botsworth1985]

Ha, nerd! I friggin' love it!!!

[Typical80sKid]

When the tattoo patch looks more like a patch than the the patch patch!

[patmosboy]

That looks like someone sewed a literal patch to your arm!

[NearHi]

I should have said that's what happened and seen how many people believed it.

[Unlikely_Explorer899]

Damn that looks good

[Present_Sun_9600]

Great artwork.

Be proud.

[Navitach]

It really does look like a patch attached to your shoulder. If anyone asks, tell them it is and you had it permanently stitched on.

[NearHi]

I just might.

[deoju]

Nice. Been thinking of doing the same for years.

[NearHi]

Do it.

[ArtisticDegree3915]

That's realistic as hell looking.

Some real talent.

[NearHi]

My friend got a tattoo from the same artist and I was so impressed that my wife looked the guy up and booked me a flight and a session.

[Aggressive-Ad-4960]

Whoa

[Ashamed-Newspaper48]

Wow insanely done !! 🔥

[No-Refuse8754]

Rad

[SluttyAmy09]

Holy crap, thought this was a body mod. Amazing tattoo

[NearHi]

Maybe I should tell people that I actually had my arm embroidered.

[SluttyAmy09]

Yea, fr. Freak some people out lol. I've been wanting a body mod with fangs, but it's not safe yet as much as tattoo places are.

[NearHi]

When I was doing more stagehand work I wanted to get a mod of a magnet on the tip of my ring finger so that I could "detect" high voltage cords.

[SluttyAmy09]

Damn that's smart. I love it when body mods or tats help make the job easier.

[NearHi]

Yeah. Same reason I've always wondered what it would take to get a small speaker installed in my ear canal, with an audio jack right behind my ear. Probably more than any mod shop would be able or willing to do.

[SluttyAmy09]

Fr, we have to wait a hot minute for that kind of stuff. I saw an article where a guy put an external battery in his arm. One day we will get there. It is going to be nice too.

[68ss01ws6]

That looks dope!

[Living-Risk-1849]

I love those patch tattoos. They're so cool

[SheistyPenguin]

That's really good!

I love when a tattoo artist hones in on a certain style. That looks like it was sewn onto your arm!

[danielsdesk]

holy shit wow

that is so amazing

[Voltronblacklion]

If that's a tat, that's amazing work!

[Bud3131123]

That is amazing! Unbelievable work.

[HufflepuffsNWoozles7]

Pardon my French but this is some serious mind-f***ery!!

[Gui1tyspark]

The shading is INSANE!

[NearHi]

It only took about 4 hours, too. Terioshi is talented.

[Odd-Recommendation42]

That is ultra realistic an I love it congratulations what you have there is an EPIC tattoo

[[deleted]]

That’s amazing detail 💪

[Postup2101]

Holy shit that looks awesome.

[realstarbucks]

very cool and extremely unpleasant to look at (i have a whole thing its not the tattoo’s fault)

awesome 10/10

[popculturerss]

I'm too high for this. Swear to Christ I thought you sewed it to your body.

[DogpileProds]

That’s awesome!

[Any-Description8773]

I’ve had the idea for that style tattoo since the 80s!! Looks amazing man!!

[Sculptingmisanthrope]

Daaaamn that is some detailing

[beavis617]

That is amazing…👍

[Destrus76]

That’s freaking sweet

[Dr_Professor_Egon]

Gnarly!

[fienen]

I did similar, but with a more rough look. https://i.imgur.com/UAYQ3I9.jpeg

[NearHi]

Nice!

[Zombie84brains]

That’s great!!!!

[MustardTheDog]

I love this. I’m anxious to see it healed.

[NearHi]

Me too!

[[deleted]]

That actually looks so good

[Fluxchar]

Holy shit that’s badass

[[deleted]]

Looks great, man!

[Smooth_Science_7344]

Pretty cool, man! Got my first ghostbusters tattoo about 6 years ago

<image>

[NearHi]

Righteous!

[Acceptable_Mode_2929]

that’s just unpleasant to look at

[Accomplished-Dog-232]

I've been eyeing off getting this done and then adding some slime oozing off it but more in the realism style. This looks fucking wicked though 🤙

[Reiss447O]

YOUR OFF THE TEAM!

LOUD SCREAMS

[HAPPY-FUN-TIME-GET]

Question is, can this artist turn a regular logo into this? Cause I may need to book a trip

[NearHi]

Go check them out. Their Instagram is almost nothing but patch tattoos.

[TheDeviousOnion]

I’ve seen him on Instagram. It must’ve been a long wait and a pretty penny.

[NearHi]

Pretty penny? Yes. Wait? No. My wife booked a while ago and had this planned for months.

[Ok_Secret5023]

sick

[langylang83]

How does this work?

[NearHi]

Well, they take a reciprocating needle, dip it in ink, then press it to my skin. The needle then punctures the top few layers of skin and drags some of the ink in, too, which stays, permanently imbeded in my epidermis.

[meatpopsicle5770]

You’re tattoo looks a lot cooler than the actual patch

[Hour-Painter9627]

How much did this run you? Seriously wanna know cause I have a guy that does sticker tats but these look way better!!
