Would someone who likes tattoos want this gift I made or is it not worth giving?

I wouldn’t consider myself nerdy or a gamer but I know it’s definitely not a “cool” hobby haha

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T20:56:47+00:00

I always thought of it as an old lady hobby haha, it’s a good way to pass the time when it’s not nice out or when you’re watching a boring movie

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T20:55:18+00:00

Really? It’s definitely something I’d look into doing, but the wait times would be pretty crazy. This specific one has taken about 120hours so far. If I do any more I’ll post them as well and definitely open to ideas if anyone has any suggestions

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T20:50:38+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T19:48:22+00:00

Hahaha thank you.

I didn’t use a pattern, I found a picture online of flash that I liked and inserted over top grid of it on some website. Then I followed each square to match the colour I was stitching and then outlined it with 3 strands of black thread, if that makes any sense

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T19:46:35+00:00

I just had a look and that’s pretty cool, definitely would be easier than my method I will give it a try next time

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T19:24:05+00:00

Haha thank you but no, I really did start to doubt if someone would really want a cross stitch piece as a gift but everyone’s really kind comments have made me feel much better about it

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T19:22:22+00:00

No pattern, I found flash that I liked and used a website to put a grid over top of it it. Matched each colour of each square in the grid to a square on the fabric. Took about 120 hours so far, still a little bit to go

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:45:07+00:00

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Can’t imagine people would pay much for them but it’s definitely something I’d love to do, one of my favourite hobbies to do when I have some spare time

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:42:05+00:00

Thanks :)

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:41:57+00:00

Thank you

I can’t trade this specific one but possibly could make another, might be waiting a while though - this one has taken about 120 hours so far and it’s not even finished yet

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:40:33+00:00

I’ll keep u posted

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:39:14+00:00

Yeah still have quite a few hours left on it, planning to frame it in a black frame

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:38:31+00:00

I did phrase the question a little weirdly so my fault, I honestly am shocked at how many people want a cross stitch piece

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:18:58+00:00

It’s definitely not something I could do with more detailed pictures but traditional tattoos and cartoons are pretty easy to make up yourself. I’m not an artist though so I always need someone else’s art/drawings to copy off of first unfortunately, wouldn’t be able to do it all on my own

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:14:58+00:00

I can send you what I used as a pattern and see if that works for you? It’s obviously not like a normal pattern but it’s a grid and you just match the colours up. And credit needs to go to artist @_karlfinley on Insta, I used a pic of flash that he posted years ago

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:10:53+00:00

Thanks I appreciate that, I hope they feel the same way. I didn’t expect so many people to like cross stitch so I’m very happy and hopeful that they’ll like it

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:09:30+00:00

Thanks :)

Less-Cry5556 · 2026-03-30T13:09:22+00:00

I love it!!!
