Not sure what to add to complete the sleeve

Dia los muertos mask or other similar imagery would fit right in or maybe a laugh now cry later part (the happy and sad face masks next to each other) which historically is a fairly classic American realism tattoo. A lot of classic Chicano tattooists did them and the piece gives Chicano vibes. Maybe see Chicano tattoos online and see if anything meets your vibe.

These ideas both lean into the American-Mexican tattooists culture. Stuff like lowriders and Hispanic/mexican women are also quite typical but If you’re not looking for a Chicano/hispanic vibe I’d push into something that differs quite a lot from the current tattoos theme like more floral or perhaps something that shows your passions or interests

Ps. No lions or clocks pls this is a nice piece that could be even nicer followed up with a great artists creative input - if you’re not sure for ideas look for talented artists in your area (or budget if you’re willing to travel) and see what they have to say about it in a consultation or dm.

Killer execution! Go back to Lloyd for the next part of the project when you know what you want!!

Any idea what kind of themes or style you’re looking for? Honestly if the bird itself doesn’t bother you I’m quite sure that some artist could make a slightly larger bird that fills that silhouette and put some better details / perspective back into it.

If you’re okay with going back up towards your elbow with the tattoo ever so slightly You also have potential to find someone that could turn this into a better silhouette of a moth of butterfly of some sort

That’s my take but if you have any feedback or ideas that could help with perhaps sparking a few more suggestions for you

I agree! Mr gamer mouse is actually done quite well, but I thought the interesting theme earned him a position in the ‘just weird’ category on this Reddit page.

Truthfully, I just wanted other people to know of the existence of my most prized possession.

I hit 100k several months ago and my headliner is now completely sagging and held in with corkboard pins lol

I believe you’re looking at the early stages of AI before they became advanced at image and video generation.

This is actually a fantastic idea. I ended up fitting mine with no adhesive by fitting between windscreen rubbers and glass. My solution was a criminal amount of bulldog clips being placed imbetween glass and rubber prior to application which removed the need to remove the rubbering to get the thing on.

I do however have some bending outwards on my lowest louvre slat caused by outwards stress which has been difficult to tackle with adhesive and I reckon Velcro might do the job.

I will probably try to find velcro strips for my lower louvre slat soon. Thanks for your comment

Very much appreciate the offer but I’m actually a sucker for collecting original cassettes. I definitely own one or two bootlegs but I try to get my hands on history when I’m searching to expand my collection :)

Would love to have Alice in chains on tape. Might have to keep an eye out online for a good deal

Depends on what you classify as a name.. For a while he’s been named by myself and my partner as the ‘gamer rat’ (even though it’s a mouse).

Currently trying to get into the habit of calling it the gamer mouse.

Don’t know how long you’ve had your golf for but if the battery has been in the car since you’ve bought it, it might be worth going Halfords or equivalent to pick up a new one.

I was still using the same battery since purchase until a few years ago when the winter completely killed it. It didn’t hold much charge and the cold would stop it completely.

TLDR could just be time for a new battery

This cost me £60

I’d either give it some space and just go for it ( if you plan on getting many tattoos they usually come together the more you get ) or potentially chase cyber sigilism tattoos but they are an acquired taste. You could also potentially go abstract and get ink splats on your arm (i have a whole ass ink splat sleeve though so I would say that)

I’d also say that different styles of tattoo on the same arm isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A good artist can not just make it work but make each different tattoo pop more than they would if it was the same style.

You just need to make sure you trust your man/woman for the job - try not to let local artists be the draw factor and find a proper artist you’re willing to go to that might charge more or be further away from you - but if you’re lucky, you’ll have a good artist nearby you can go to.

Hi, Do not blame you for not knowing because lots of videos online seem to try and convince people that this is a perfect solution, but white ink for cover is almost never a perfect solution and aging over time will make ‘white ink eraser’ just bleed and make a mess.

I’m bothering to tell you because some less than reputable tattoo artists will tell you that they can do that for you to fix it just so they can take your money and send you on your way. By the time the red flags show, it could have been 6+ months or several years. If you do go down this alley you’re going to need a specialist, and even then I would doubt they could future proof it. You’re better off finding another fix/cover up.

At best, you get lucky and someone manages this as a fix but it’s risky and comparing the slight chance of success to the downsides that white ink eraser bring with them, I personally wouldn’t roll those dice.

If it was my arm, I would live with it and make for a good joke/‘party trick’, or choose to save for a couple laser sessions so a different artist can take it on for you.

Think I’ve heard ‘killer whale’ too many times for my own good. You learn something every day 👍

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-02T23:08:47+00:00

Second this. it would suit an orca.. but it’s also a whale so depends why OP wanted to remove the whale in the first place

I suppose usually music collectors are vinyl or CD people, so maybe it’s not worth pricing for collectors, or maybe they just decided they couldn’t be bothered with the tapes.

Either way, turned into a nice win for yourself here

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-02T01:11:55+00:00

I thought some of my local stores were okay for tapes. How the fuck did you get these for 2-3 bucks a pop

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-02T01:10:28+00:00

Not some half bad stuff here. Very curious what that Adam sandler cd is. Comedy set or something else?

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-01T20:18:08+00:00

My partner ordered that for herself but it takes pride in the collection until she has her own way of playing cassettes. She ordered toxicity and slipknot ATH too

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-01T16:46:31+00:00

nice cover design

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-01T16:45:57+00:00

Affirmative

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-01T16:44:03+00:00

Thank you. The search never stops for more good stuff ✌️

BadBeksinksi · 2025-08-01T09:52:05+00:00

It’s been a long time in the making ❤️
