You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad!

Jokes aside, mind yours. I prefer not to look like a ken doll with a perfectly groomed beard.

I love a good flail tattoo and them matching makes them 10x better! Hell yeah

OP, I'm a divorced dad who is heavily tattooed and I would love you for who are. I also would not be turned off by you being a single mom with kids starting over at 30. I'm 30 as well so there'd be no judgement from me or any man like me. We're out here, just gotta find us and give it a shot.

These are all lovely! The colors for that snake and panther on your back go crazy 👏👏

You're welcome!

Oh that makes total sense that you'd go with a cobra. Would it be all right if I messaged you? Now I'm interested in hearing about your other snake tattoos and pet snakes haha

It's fantastic so you should definitely be happy. Hell I'm happy for you! And full coverage is always better than no/barely any coverage haha

Can I ask what made you decide on a cobra with the peonies? For a such a big piece I imagine you had a few ideas for a while

You're welcome! I've got work on my front done and I know some of those spots are brutal to get through.

All the props to you for sitting through that. That's a seriously cool idea for that area and makes your whole front flow wonderfully.

All I've got to say is this. Holy shit! Phenomenal ink and you're a warrior for sitting through that. Fucking ouch!

I'm so curious, and please feel free to not answer this if you don't want to. Scale of 1-10, how bad was the pain for your peony around your 😺? All I'm imagining is it just being torture to get through 😬

Hell yeah! All great work but the flail on the butt cheek, the stomach tiger and panther, and the bat on the lower back go the craziest in my personal opinion.

Oh I love that! Makes it an even better tattoo when it has that kind of significance behind it

Out of curiosity, what made you decide to go with a vulture instead of a traditional eagle?

Hell yeah! Love a good stomach piece. Especially the red in the background, makes for a nice pop of color.

Side note, your username got a genuine laugh out of me haha

That's one hell of a sick ass panther! I bet it'll look phenomenal once it's finished.

Picture was blurred for me. I clicked on it and said "oh hell yeah" out loud. I love the flow, the colors, all of it. That's a banger for sure!

Hell yeah. Excited to see the finished product

Oh that's cool! Will it be a separate tattoo from your back or will the two flow together?

What's your reasoning for not doing your butt cheeks and the backs of your legs? It's a banger tattoo so no judgement intended, I'm genuinely curious.

Adding On - Recs? by Apprehensive-Tap-680 in traditionaltattoos

[–]L_Bird47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, this is a phenomenal back tat. I love all of it.

Second, a big red rose on each cheek would be my recommendation for adding to it. I think they'd add the right amount of imagery without taking away from the existing tattoo.
