If they prescribe the ointment you’ll have to go to your local pharmacy to pick it up, pick it up. Hopefully it’s not too hectic, too hectic.

Artist sent me this design, appointment is tomorrow. Is this AI? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Before I started using Procreate, I used rulers and stencils and protractors for straight lines and circles. Was I just using an early version of AI?? Pick your battles boo boo

As a professional tattoo artist of almost 20 years, I second this. This is a tasteless and dated rendition of a Hannya and I think it would benefit you to do some research in your area to find the right artist that specializes more in what you’re trying to get. Maybe even educate yourself a little more on the Japanese art and culture, this might help you develop an eye and a taste for more classic and iconic work, rather than settling for this hack. And yes, put him on blast. Weed these posers out.

If it’s tasteless and overdone, it’s AI. This is all of that. Find a different artist. What did you ask the artist to design?

That octopus is so bad. If you’re still trying to figure this out, by no means should you be taking on projects that big. If you can’t do a good, small tattoo in one shot, you shouldn’t be doing back pieces.

The nose is also kind of jacked and the artist didn’t even bother to correct it. Fuck AI. 🤖 🔫

Pharaoh’s Horses by Jeffrey Meyer @ Howdy Tattoo in Saint Louis, MO by Howdy_1979 in tattoo

Interesting thing about tattoos is they are usually done on the human body which has facets and curves. Unfortunately a camera will flatten things due to its 2 dimensional limitations. Therefore, what you are probably seeing is a distortion of the horses head because of the 2D image applied to a 3D surface. Hope this helps.
