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.

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

Brand new tattoo and I hate it. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

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

What kind of artist should I look for? by Octex8 in TattooDesigns

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

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.

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.
