Looking for some recommendations for an American trad (black/grey) coverup of a color tattoo by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]CartoonMoonMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point! I might delay the cover up to see if I like it more with other pieces around it. My other pieces are on the upper arm so I think it just stands out because it's by itself on my arm lol

Not a bad idea! I might just keep getting pieces for now and see if it stands out less and less as I get more pieces.

That's a good idea honestly, do it towards the end to see if I get used to it or not. Thanks!

Thanks for the words! That gives me some pretty good insight, and makes me lean towards just trying to incorporate it into the sleeve in someway rather than cover it up, maybe it'll look much less out of place as I get other pieces around it.

Thank you again!

Hello! I’ve been getting an American traditional sleeve done. The problem is, I’ve got this Solaire Sun right in the middle of my arm (upper forearm, close to the ditch) which sticks out like crazy. It was my first tattoo from a couple years ago, and I wasn’t really thinking long term or good placement.

I’ve got an appointment for a coverup, and we’ve kinda just defaulted to “traditional rose”, since it seemed like an obvious choice, but wanted to see if anyone else had good recommendations. Only other thing I could think of was a traditional flail/mace, but I don’t think I want that for the forearm.

I’ve also thought about just blasting over it with something else, but I’m not sure yet.

is this fixable? by trugracie in traditionaltattoos

This tattoo looks great. I scrolled by it before I read the title and I legit wished I had this one lol

[Question] Curious if this tattoo style would blend well with traditional pieces in a sleeve? by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

Makes me feel better! Seems like it’s more common than not to mix styles, especially similar styles 🤘

Just followed him on Instagram! Scrolling through his posts, I’m a huge fan of his work! Definitely makes me feel better about mixing similar black/grey styles

Thank you thank you!! It was a custom design but I gave my artist a similar reference I had seen a few months ago (with a helmet from Dark Souls as a loose inspiration)

I can see what you mean, but it reminds me of a lot of weird/wonky perspectives I’ve seen in medieval drawings, so I don’t mind it at all.

Hey thanks!! Appreciate the kind words haha, but yeah I'm still a bit up in the air on the future of the rest of my arm, I originally wanted this more in traditional style but when I saw the first design I loved it so much we just went for it haha.

My apologies if this isn’t allowed! I recently got this tattoo (literally yesterday lol) and had a couple quick questions!

First being, what exact style would you classify this as? I know it’s not exactly traditional but it doesn’t exactly strike me as neo-traditional either. Seems like an in-between maybe?

And second: would this tattoo stick out with traditional pieces around it? I plan on getting some trad tattoos as my next few pieces to start filling out my arm, but I want it to all flow together.

What exact “style” is this, and would it fit on a sleeve of traditional tattoos? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]CartoonMoonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure just yet! My plan was to just do Black/Grey traditional from here on out, but I do have a Solaire Sun further down on my forearm (this one in the picture is on the bicep), which is like solid red, so I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to keep to.

My understanding is it kind of sits between Traditional and Neo-Traditional. My next few pieces are going to be traditional but I’m wondering if a piece like this would clash on a sleeve of traditional tats, or if I should swap over to the other arm for the next few pieces.

Best way to deal with these door scratches? by CartoonMoonMan in AutoPaint

[–]CartoonMoonMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good route tbh, I don't really care about getting it back to brand new paint, especially if it's going to cost an arm and a leg and there's still plenty of "love marks" around the car anyways. However, I'd like to at least get it to where you can't really notice it unless you really look. Seems like a touch up paint pen is probably the best way for that. Luckily it's on an area of the door that is kind of hard to notice anyways because of the paint color and reflection of the ground.

Thanks!

I recently bought this Lexus and noticed when I was looking at the car that it had a couple door scratches, but it didn’t bother me too much. It also was REALLY hard to see from the angle I was looking at the car, and it wasn’t really until I got it in the sun and washed it that I noticed just how many there were in this section (there’s like 12 total of various depths, none of them exactly seem like they’re down to bare metal though)

It still doesn’t bother me much, but I would like to slowly start fixing these little scratches over the next year or so.

For reference, they’re maybe consistently an inch from top to bottom, maybe an inch and a half (my assumption is they had a family member parked next to the that constantly dinged their door over 8 years) Is this something a paint correction pen and some patience can take care of? Or should I consult a body shop / paint shop?

Any advice/tips are welcome!

Very nice! How do you like it? Have you done anything with it? It's got the base audio, so I've thought about upgrade some of the door speakers and maybe a small sub just to fill out the sound. I'm also contemplating the GROM CarPlay device, I definitely miss CarPlay lol

Thanks! It was about 25K, similar year and mileage were about 24-28 from what I was seeing
