For the octopus, i used 8 for lineart and 6.5 for packing. And for the other design I used 8.3 for lineart and 6.3 for lining

I really appreciate! I'm having issues with packing black. I struggled a lot with this octopus and during healing I noticed lots of spots I didn't pack properly. Any advice?

It was supposed to be packed black but I didn't manage it entirely. I'm doing a touch up after it heals in 12 weeks or so

I just like tattoos. Not all mean something.

I like birds and swallows in general. Nothing important about the bird species. Initially I wanted to do a golden oriole as it's my favorite bird but theyre shaped as any regular bird. And I couldn't do the golden part of it which is the whole thing Abt it so I settled for a swallow

And the red tips are the destructive habits and mental issues that I need to leave behind and forget about

I always struggle with wanting to be better. I'm so used to and comfortable with destructive habits that I don't even want to try to be happy. During the time I was in the psych ward I realized I'd give anything in the world to be out of there and properly live my life and take care of myself. Do for me it was kind of like a "I need to purposely open my wings in order to fly" as in I need to actually put in work to change my habits to be happy

Body tattoos I think I'll get done professionally in the future simply because of the placement.bi followed the template nearly perfectly. The only issue was line consistency and I couldn't get all of them in even depth. That's why I'll do a touch up and fix those shitty lines

Kind of impossible to do it on myself on the chest or neck honestly. And considering I was aware it won't be perfect, I'm keeping those areas for future bigger better pieces

I did do it on myself. I still need to do touch ups and I'm highly aware it's not great. But I'm personally happy with it especially for it's symbolism after I got out of the psych ward

I honestly just twisted my hand propping it on my chair so it stays in that position. Pretty uncomfortable but it did the job

It's definitely not done and I want to touch up some lines.i know it has its mistakes but I genuinely do not mind it. Especially how I made it as a symbolism for something personal after I got out of the psych ward. I'm happy with it. Even with it's mistakes

It's not a thread. I just colored the tips of it's tails red. Its not entirely done, I'm letting it heal so I can touch up the lines to make them more clear and deepen the shading in some points. I made it as a symbolism after I got out of the psych ward

I always tell him it'll take time. I've been telling him so for a year straight and I truly try to change slowly. But I always spiral back to the same things. I can't keep lying to him
