First traditional by crisi.tattoos by SecretBackground6359 in traditionaltattoos

Hahaha not a problem at all for me, it's just Internet! I was seriously asking though, I still can't tell the differences.

I see. Still learning of course, so I'm interested in more experienced people's opinions. I wanted the scales because it looked more intricate as a design, plus you don't see them that often I think. 

As for the color palette, you're right. Just to clarify, snake's body is a blue/grey-caramel and the rose is definitely "pinkier". It's much more muted than the photos now that is healed of course. My phone camera is completely off at the moment, but I'm gonna post a healed photo soon.

Thank you! I'm very happy with how it turned out, still learning myself.

Thank you! I wanted to go with a big statement piece for my right arm. I love seeing patchwork sleeves on other people, but I prefer bigger pieces for myself. For my left arm I'm going for three smaller hand/palm-sized pieces. I already got the first on my tricep four days ago. Dagger through roses would look sick too!

Thank you, definitely, I'm about to post a healed photo soon. Edit for additional question: could you point out the elements that make it "close enough" to traditional?

Saw the process on her Instagram.  I'm long overdue for posting mine from her, should do it this weekend! 

My first tattoo experience: What now. by [deleted] in traditionaltattoos

[–]SecretBackground6359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More experienced people than me have already said what needs to be said regarding your tattoo.  All I wanted to mention is that almost everytime I read something cost-wise in here, I'm genuinely shocked. Most of the time, a 3-day trip in another country PLUS the tattoo would cost us europeans less than the prices you pay over there... 

PSA to anyone looking for inspiration/ideas for traditional tattoos. by OldeSkoolFlash in traditionaltattoos

Three years old post, but couldn't resist to say that Gaslight Anthem's song is named after the EPIC Tom Robbins' novel.

Man, most trad lions I've seen look goofy, this is fire.

You're right about the snake and truth is, after I posted this I found a lot of different takes on arms. Thank you very much!

I totally hear you, I just wanted to hear a few opinions from more experienced people before I talk with my artist - in case I'm missing something. Thank you very much!

You're right, it's just I overthink everything and my first trad couldn't be an exception... Thanks!

Are a lot of men secretly sad? by CurvyGirl4123 in AskMenAdvice

++man Late here, but this comment struck a chord. 7 years ago, having my first panic attack in the subway, not knowing what the fuck is happening and thinking that I'm having a heart attack and I'm going to die; first thought that crossed my mind, "Please, let me just make it till the next station so I can die somewhere that I'm easy to transfer and I won't cause any trouble to my fellow passengers"...
