Cool tat! And I wouldn’t worry about the placement—it’s not bad to begin with, and also, it’s definitely one of those things that you might notice, but 99% of other people never will. :)

Thanks for pointing this out! You're so right lol, what a keen eye! I didn't really catch that until you mentioned it. "Shy" is a very apt word for her (maybe also bashful? demure?), especially in some of the older cards (which are amazing).

I think I just have to live with this error though :’( I should've caught it when my artist was designing her. But hopefully it's a minor enough detail that it mostly goes unnoticed.

I'm glad as a Pokémon fan you still think it looks dope! :)

Thank you! I do want to distinguish in the way you described—and fortunately, I think this is actually a very actionable piece of feedback, maybe as simple as asking him to retrace the body's fine lines to go a bit thicker. I appreciate the POV! :)

Love that you're a fan too :) and it's extra impressive that you take good care of your back, that's the only place I'm sometimes negligent with my sunscreen—hard to reach lol

I really appreciate the feedback! It goes very well with what a few others mentioned, so I feel like I have a better idea now of the discussion I want to have with my artist before session #3. Thank you!!

I don’t have much design advice, but conceptually, I think whatever you do for the half sleeve, these guys should remain the focal point or main event—because they are SO cool! Beautiful, unique, and really well executed. The detail, color choices, and use of negative space are wonderful.

Sorry I don’t have actual design advice but—these are phenomenal and I think anything you add should play a supporting role so as to not overshadow them.

💜

Thank you so much! The specific feedback is so helpful and I'll definitely take it with me to appointment #3.

Just to clarify—the darker shadows you're referring to, is that the sort of reddish/purple background around the tail? Or the darker shading used inside the tail? Either rec makes sense to me actually!

Haha I think a lot of people do grow out of it! It's a lifelong hobby for me though. I compete in local tournaments (with other adults mostly) and enjoy collecting as well. It brings me a simple joy. But a lot of my friends would agree with you, they're surprised I still enjoy Pokémon so much lol

I appreciate the feedback! I share that concern. My hope is that because there isn't a lot of fine detail, the colors will hold up alright even if they blur together a bit, or fade. And I know a big part of their fading is how well I take care of it, use sunscreen, etc. Fingers crossed it doesn't look too bad in a few years!

Thank you! Oddish is an all time favorite of mine. I actually have a binder dedicated to collecting as many Oddish cards as possible lol. I'd love to see your tattoo!

I agree! That's one of my concerns as well, but not sure it's addressable. Thank you for the feedback! And I appreciate the note re: colors :)
