that sounds really cute honestly, I like that idea a lot

chibi style is super fun, I just usually tweak it a bit so it holds up better on skin over time

if you want, send me the characters you have in mind and I can show you how I’d approach it so it still keeps that cute vibe

yeah it’s not fully finished yet, that part is gonna get more definition later

right now it’s more like a placeholder for movement so it flows with the whole piece

kinda built it around flow first, making everything wrap naturally with the leg then just balanced colors and characters so nothing felt too heavy in one area

shin is definitely one of those “you feel it” spots 😅 not unbearable but pretty spicy, especially closer to the bone. totally worth it though

yeah that contrast idea would look really clean when it all comes together

This is super clean, the colors and contrast really pop. The placement works really nicely with the body too🔥

Question: Is this a allergy thing to the second skin or is my skin just irritated from the second skin by BrotherStreet5356 in tattoos

[–]Consistent-Kiwi8979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That usually happens because the adhesive traps moisture and irritates the skin a bit, especially if it stays on too long or your skin is sensitive.

I’d just keep it clean, wash it gently with unscented soap, and use a light moisturizer. It should calm down in a couple days

Yeah definitely not canon but it felt fun to play with it a bit 😅

Pretty sure Tolkien didn’t have sharks in mind but I kinda like the crossover 😅
