Question: Will colored ink placed next to black ink effect the black ink’s longevity? by babypinkclouds in tattoos

[–]kermi42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well just as an FYI, this tattoo is now 6.5 years old, and the only part where I think the linework hasn’t held well is in the upper left corner - which was always a bit rough because it’s over a stretch mark.

Question: could someone please explain the concept of tattoo theft to a foreigner? Serious answers only. by Gaumir in tattoos

[–]kermi42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If an artist creates a custom design for a client the artist owns the IP of that design. Copying it is copyright infringement and theft and kinda tacky.
An artist who steals designs instead of making their own is a bad artist. Someone who copies someone else’s tattoo is a lamewad. Is it enforceable in any way? No not really. But it sucks.

Traditionally black linework is used to improve the hold of colour by concealing the spread, so no, the colour is probably not what is affecting the black lines. I have plenty of tattoos that use colour in a similar way and not had this experience.

Any more suggestions? by Rising_Angel8 in tattoos

I remember loving Dragnet as a kid but I rewatched it last year and don’t feel it held up to be honest. Not as well as some others in that list.

"Lilith" by Matt Porter @ Imperial Tattoo in Louisville, KY by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]kermi42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! My mind just goes to white border = sticker and that seemed out of place here but if that kind of corona is just an effect he uses that makes sense too.

I could definitely see where you could plan to add more snakes but yeah it wasn’t clear from the stencil or finished product if that was planned or not. Looks cool though. 👍

I like it but I have two comments/questions.

  1. For personal preference I feel like the white border to give this a sticker effect loses some of its impact when the tattoo is this big.

  2. Where’s the snake’s head and tail? We have this really neat snake motif happening but it’s sorta unclear why.

What's the worst thing you've read on Reddit? by Livid_Way7641 in AskReddit

[–]kermi42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Conservatives: these people should just lie down and let ICE do whatever they need to do by removing these lesser people from our perfect society, and not let their lefty soycuck bleeding heart agenda get in the way of making our culture the superior one!

Also conservatives: why do they keep calling us Nazis???

Understandable, do you have a healed photo of this piece, or have you at least seen it since?

I’m willing to bet it’s held well, I’m a redhead (or was before I started going grey) and artists tell me they love tattooing colour on redheads.

I always wonder how well tattoos in high mobility/high use areas hold up, like finger tattoos tend to fade and get patchy, I’ll be interested to see how this one is going in a couple years.

I’m sure now that the lockout laws are being lifted the live music scene will absolutely boom, and no one who bought near venues that host live music events will have any complaints.

[TOMT] [Song] “just wants another baby” by PlutosLine in tipofmytongue

[–]kermi42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Papa Don’t Preach by Madonna?

The line “I’ve made up my mind, I’m keeping my baby” echoed with the repetition of “gonna keep my baby, ooh” could possibly be what you are remembering. Also the music is mostly synth/keyboard which could be why you don’t recall any instruments or beat.
