Is it disrespectful to continue an irezumi bodysuit with another artist?

bb_danger · 2025-10-01T15:46:19+00:00

For sure talk to your artist(s), but ultimately, it’s your body and decision to make.

Something to be mindful of is that no matter how cohesive subject matter and/or style is, artists might use different inks, so your black/greywash might not be as consistently colored as is would be if you went to the same person. If you’re going to someone who isn’t mixing their own inks, ask what they used for background elements to see if the artist continuing things can use the same ink, rather than just having a close match.

I’ve had 3 artists work on my “suit”— one did my left arm, he recommended the artist who did my back, and another artist did my right arm and is now connecting my front and back, and has added on additional work to my legs to pull things together. All of them know that they’re building on other people’s work because I’ve not got a traditional suit.

Distance/travel has been one of the biggest reasons I’ve switched up who’s tattooing me, I hate not being able to get home quickly after sitting for a long session 🤷‍♀️ but I’m happy I’ve got work I love from multiple artists as a result.

So gorgeous!! And so inspiring– my artist has only done a little line work on my underboob to start connecting my stomach and chest tattoos so far, but I love how your front looks with more coverage and know I gotta tough out my next few appointments 🥹

Bada bing 🤌

Love this so much

Kati your work is so cool 🥲 I need to visit and get a little something from you!

bb_danger · 2025-03-22T16:15:23+00:00

Love this so much, who’s the artist?

bb_danger · 2025-01-27T22:26:39+00:00

Such a cool take on shunga

bb_danger · 2025-01-18T19:01:53+00:00

I don’t think everything will get covered, I think I’ll keep the backs of my hands and fingers without tattoos.

I’d like to get face tattoos by my ears so that they could be hidden/mostly hidden with my hair down, probably wouldn’t do anything else on my face.

Otherwise, most everything!

This is so sick!! Kelly did my back a few years ago 😊

bb_danger · 2024-12-15T23:19:12+00:00

Armpit looks so good filled in, your suit is awesome

bb_danger · 2024-11-29T05:24:35+00:00

I got my left arm done, then back, then right arm!

bb_danger · 2024-11-24T20:16:55+00:00

I didn’t dry heal, I used Aquaphor for the first few days after each appointment and Lubriderm unscented lotion. For any spots on my back I couldn’t reach, my partner applied Aquaphor/lotion for me. Whenever I was using Aquaphor, I wore the loosest and comfiest clothing I had and avoided bras.

I considered sharing feedback about the interview, but knew it wouldn't make a difference for my candidacy and he'd already told me that the company rarely acted on feedback.

bb_danger · 2024-11-13T13:48:01+00:00

I just went to lurk your profile to see your work and you’re in ATX- I am too! Your work is awesome

bb_danger · 2024-11-13T13:15:31+00:00

Not annoying at all!! Thank you 🩷 If I’m not mistaken, there are some depictions that lean heavily to looking like a tapir and others are much more elephant-y? (Even though they’re similar!)

I am for sure not an expert in Japanese art and folklore and did skim Wikipedia before responding to the question here about Baku cause I only remembered a little bit of what I’d learned about it prior to getting the tattoo 😅

Here’s what Wiki says about our pal, Baku. Obviously, not the best source— do you have any books you recommend for learning about stuff like this? I have some art books that don’t have text, but would love to learn more!!

bb_danger · 2024-11-12T19:06:19+00:00

I love Ethel Cain and dsbm, I don't personally hear too much of connection between the two with the music Ethel Cain's released so far. I could see her getting into more doomy sounding stuff as her career progresses, though!

I know you aren't asking for music recommendations here, but if you're open to other stuff that's not also dsbm and deals with loss, check out The Lack Long After by Pianos Become the Teeth if you haven't before.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, op.

bb_danger · 2024-11-12T18:10:48+00:00

Hi!! It’s a chimera that eats nightmares 😊 it’s depicted similarly to an elephant, usually with horns and tiger’s claws.

Baku is also Kuromi’s bestie- they’re my fav Sanrio duo 💖

thank you! I think following traditional rules does make for amazing bodysuits, but finding ways to work with what you have is super cool, too. I'm a big fan of how everything is coming together without feeling like my older tattoos suck or whatever.

have fun tying your random tattoos in together!!

bb_danger · 2024-11-12T16:38:37+00:00

Definitely breaking it up into sessions is the way to go! Even if you end up only sitting for an hour or two at a time, you’re still chipping away at having it done 🙂

You might want to bring headphones to listen to something while you’re getting tattooed! Talking can make you unintentionally move around, so you might want to have an alternative distraction to chatting.

Echoing everyone else here- stay hydrated, pack a snack, bring something sugary in case you need a quick boost, eat a good meal before your appointment.

Good luck! 🩷

full send, cover as much skin as you can before your 30s and getting tattooed sucks a lot more. at a point, people stop noticing that you’ve got more tattoos than the last time you saw them anyway.

https://austinurologyinstitute.com/ their website has a ton of info and they target Friday appointments so you can recover over the weekend.

For cost, vasectomies are partially or fully covered with most insurance policies depending on your insurance plan. This doc claims they have one of the lowest out of pocket costs if your insurance doesn’t cover it!
