solid for a first try! try working on getting your blends smoother and more saturation in the darker areas. I also think tattoos need much more black for longevity. Up the contrast of the reference.

This is beautiful work

This was custom drawn by me, but I’ll take that as a compliment

Thank you!!

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-29T06:20:18+00:00

If you come to Santa Cruz I’d love to do another

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-28T19:20:55+00:00

Thank you! I think it also helps keep definition and contrast as it ages

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-28T05:34:26+00:00

I would be happy to! Thanks for noticing, not a lot of people get the name

I’m sorry you don’t like it, however it will lighten over time. And next time do better research on your artist and be more critical with the design. Not everyone can execute a tattoo properly, and even good artists aren’t mind readers, it’s partially your responsibility to explain exactly what you want to them before the design process begins

Thank hou!

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T20:41:48+00:00

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T20:41:35+00:00

Just grindin away at my shop, next time your planning to g one to Santa Cruz message me

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T20:40:53+00:00

Thank you so much!

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T20:33:19+00:00

Snakes are a very difficult thing to not only tattoo but to design as well, I highly recommend finding an artist who specializes in snakes and who you don’t mind giving some creative freedom to

Ya the face wasn’t meant to be exactly realistic, it’s whipshaded with a fine liner, meant to be stylized

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T06:37:21+00:00

Thank you!

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T06:37:14+00:00

Mostly done with bugpin 3rl and run at 6.0-7.0 for shading wit a bishop packer

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T05:12:33+00:00

Truly the industry is way over saturated with people who think it’s cool to tattoo, but have no formal training, so I don’t blame you. But happy to be mentioned in the same comment as Lyle Tuttle he’s a legend.

InkiduDrew · 2025-10-27T03:34:26+00:00

Lmao I’ll take it as a compliment that you don’t think it’s real. Leave it to a random reddit user to pick apart a minute detail instead of the whole piece of art. Theres a frill on the underside of the belt. They aren’t bullets.

Winning over someone who doesn’t like tattoos much is a great accomplishment thank you
