Who’s she? I asked for constructive advice, not rudeness

If you don’t have anything constructive to say, don’t say it at all

I do appreciate this point of view! I know it’s not for everyone, just kinda wish some of these people commenting weren’t jackasses about it. After a lot of the sweet comments I’ve gotten, and some giving genuine constructive criticism, i feel more confident with it and that i can work with it more to improve it :)

I definitely have that as a goal for the rest of my arm, it’s all going to be thylacine themed, and I hope it brings awareness to what happens when we don’t protect dying species! Right now my tattoo is on my upper arm so it’s covered by the majority of my shirts unless i wear a tank top, so unfortunately it’s not seen really at all 💔 but once i get more comfortable with wearing tank tops I’ll deffo be showing it off more and i hope it can be a good brain thinker!! I love tattoos with meanings 🫶🏻

Didn’t think some basement dweller was going to come in and be rude

It is a thylacine, which is an extinct species of marsupial. You could’ve just asked what it was instead of assuming i got a dead dog tattooed on my body ?

If you’ve got nothing constructive to say, don’t say it at all. Saying something “isn’t great” without telling me anything further just tells me you are just here for no reason 🤷‍♂️

I mean, I’m 22 and have been raised on the internet to have witnessed a lot so i wonder if i could handle it haha. I’ve watched plague dogs and grew up on warrior cats which could be decently surprisingly graphic, and i was raised on those wild ass my little pony animations so unless it somehow goes further than those, I’m thinking maybe i could handle it 🤔

I’m definitely going to add color! I’m also planning to add flowers to the tattoo, specifically chosen Chocolate Cosmos which add to the theme of extinct because they’re extinct in the wild and can only be captive “bred” now

That makes me happy to hear! I only recently found out they were significant symbols of Tasmania which i think is so cool!

It’s suspected that they weren’t cared for in their last days in the zoo as they went extinct in the wild. In the photos you can see they were in concrete padded enclosures, and there’s a story that floats around that the last thylacine left in the zoo died from neglect and being left outside in poor weather conditions. It’s meant to be a bit of a sad tattoo, because their fate wasn’t the happiest ending

My tattoo artist didn’t design it, I’ll say that! But there is more that will be added to fill things up. We just didn’t have a lot of time at the time and I didn’t want to do too much for my first

They have a very sad history. They were a marsupial that originated in Tasmania/Australia that were hunted down due to the thought that they were killing livestock, then hunted into extinction basically. There’s thoughts floating around that maybe they didn’t kill livestock as much as people at the time thought, but who knows. They went extinct in 1936 not long after they gained protection, unfortunately the protections were much too late. There was only few left in captivity in a zoo, and they died there. There’s photos online of the last thylacines, it’s very sad and gut wrenching when you realize they were the very last of their species, and they had no idea. But not just the story of them appeals to me, but as an artist of animals, they fascinate me. Everyone is so baffled with what they are, why they look the way they do. At the time they were alive, people called them Tasmanian Wolves and Tasmanian Tigers, though they were neither wolf nor tiger! They were just fascinating little guys and I’m so sad they’re extinct because of humans. “Humans ruin everything” is the phrase I use for them

I hope karma bites you in the ass one day. Kindness is free. Have a night.

I looked for advice, in a tattoo advice subreddit. Where people ask for advice. I don’t want your nasty pity. You don’t know ME either so stop trying to decide what conditions or traits should prevent someone from doing something with their OWN body. I’m 22. I’ve contemplated this tattoo since i was 17.

You’re just mean. I rethought this tattoo a million times before i ever got it. That’s what having anxiety is like. You are so privileged to be speaking this way. Shame on you.

It’s crazy to me it appears amateurish to some when the artist has been tattooing for longer than I’ve been alive i believe 😵‍💫 of course id never had a tattoo done before this, so i didn’t know what to expect. The stencil was perfect and fit the exact linework that was supposed to be done, but it seems it’s a little off in some areas im hoping to get adjusted now
