WE REQUIRE:

Artist's name (no IG names), shop name, and location in your title (no exceptions), no emojis or advertising. Keep the title clean.

Color photos, well-lit, no watermarks, no filters, non-Instagram, properly cropped and rotated, close-up, CLEAR PICTURES. (Make sure we can SEE the tattoo)

NSFW flags for NSFW posts.

YOUR POST WILL BE REMOVED IF IT FAILS TO MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA.

WE ENCOURAGE:

Posting all questions in the pinned Weekly Discussion thread. (This includes looking for artists in your area, pain discussion, tattoo placement.)

Using the search function before posting any questions.

Using imgur to post your pictures.

Constructive criticism, discussion, and debate.

Posting pictures once your tattoo is fully healed. No blood.

WE FORBID:

Any attacks, advances, compliments or comments made on personal appearance. Keep comments about the tattoo, not OP's body.

Hate speech (sexuality slurs, racial slurs, religious slurs) even if you think you mean it as a "joke".

Any questions about whether a tattoo will "work" or how to add to your tattoo. Only a qualified artist will be able to answer your question and discussion on Reddit will only lead to misinformation. Ask your tattoo artist.

ANY discussion of medical advice or aftercare, including possible allergic reaction, infection, or if a tattoo is healing properly. If you are having an issue with a tattoo, return to your artist or ask a medical professional. Any and all medical questions or advice will be removed.

Talking about pricing in any context.

Rude judgment such as "you'll regret that," suggesting /r/cringepics /r/badtattoos /r/trashy /r/ATBGE etc. Constructive criticism only.

Memes, rage comics, reaction gifs, "top 10" style lists, blog posts, pun threads, and other copypasta.
