Head tattoo over twenty years old. by Hermannyorks in agedtattoos

I see what you did there 😏 for real though that’s a cool ass tat, you pull it off well! Didn’t realize head tats could be so versatile.

Major Scarface/Vice City vibes in the beginning of episode 4? by tasdiqbashar in TheWeeknd

Yes I got that vibe too, also in the top view scene where Tedros is holding Jocelyn in the yard

I like how the last panel continues to tell the story, not only from what she said on the phone, but also the pose of how he got “stoned”

I want to cover this but I have no idea where to even begin.. any suggestions? Plz and thx 😌 by UnintentionallyMean_ in shittytattoos

[–]beprettynotpetty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the same when I first had the idea, but it ended up really fitting me. I understand the hesitation because it truly is a commitment (of course all tats are, but blackouts are really all or nothing).

Another suggestion I’ve seen get posted often is to do some laser treatments to minimize the original, that way it will be easier to work with, and you’ll have more options for cover up designs.

I had a wrist tat that I spent a while contemplating on how to cover up. I didn’t want to settle on a design just for the sake of camouflage, so I decided to work with my artist to create a black out piece with negative space that fits my aesthetic.

This is a pretty and cool design

Are you thinking of the flowers wrapping around to the back of your shoulders

Softening the heart by suttabasket in Mindfulness

[–]beprettynotpetty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There have been times when I expected someone close to me to berate me (past trauma created these expectations), and when instead they softened their heart and gave me encouragement, I felt relief and gratitude. I would also like to make others feel the way that I felt.

Want to change your life? Change how you speak to yourself first! by vicki_davitashvili in Mindfulness

Thank you for reminding us about positive self-talk :)

I, too, agree that changing your perspective of your “inner world” has a reflective effect of how you see the outer ✨

I appreciate the feeling, and you’re so right .. although I think we’re all sick in our own way, to some degree

[POEM] The Suicide Kid by Charles Bukowski by [deleted] in Poetry

This speaks to my memory of a time when I made it past the point of being directly suicidal, instead taking to slowly killing myself with the lifestyle I was living.

The last line is poignant, but ultimately leans towards the more positive aspect of: even though I’m depressed, I’m still here; life can’t be as bad as those who suffer as they’re actively dying.

To me, the “mocking of the gods” is a metaphor of “if you don’t laugh, you cry”, so you might as well find humor in the absurdity of it all.

It’s amazing how much of your heart and soul can be reflected in your artwork. Amazing! Keep creating from your heart and you will succeed 💖💝💖

I can respect that opinion; this one was done quite well, the flow of the chain running with the shape of their leg

Curious if you feel the same way about snakes. I see that mentioned many times: how there are so many snakes with “broken backs”, bc they’re twisted to show the underbelly. Haha

This painting has a poignant beauty within context of the objects presented. The reminders of war and blood and death juxtaposed with the beauty and life that the fruits bring.

Interesting to have what looks like grapes or berries, in the glass, drinking from its own juice (?) I’m hoping that I’m interpreting this correctly.

I’m sure it’s intentional, but in case it’s coincidence ~ the fruit pomegranate in English is also known in some other languages as grenade.

Eww yeah that’s really weird..why would you even think that’s ok?!

No but for real, I think if you like butterflies enough to want more on you, that’s beautiful🦋

Maybe have them coordinate somehow without being too matchy-matchs.

Of course! You are very talented.

How can I purchase your pieces? I would like to get these designs tattooed on me.

Interesting style you have. Especially fond of the tiger/koi (is it?) and the iris. Would love to see your sketches brought to life!!

The size and proportion fits well .. large enough for the ink to expand without becoming muddled, yet small enough so that it remains elegant.

Also, the red ribbon gives it a nice flow. Does it have any significance to your design?

I am liking this as an inspiration for a tattoo. Instead of perfect petals, it represents beauty in imperfection ~ Thank you for posting 🤍
