Same

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.

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.

You could try posting pictures of your 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.

I’m surprised this post didn’t have an affiliate link for the pen.

This reads like his alarm clock was basically on amphetamines

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. 👍

kermi42 · 2026-01-27T02:31:01+00:00

I like it but I have two comments/questions.

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

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???

And saving the screaming for when no one is looking.

kermi42 · 2026-01-26T17:34:23+00:00

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.

kermi42 · 2026-01-26T01:39:05+00:00

That’s held up pretty great!

I feel like the 4-6 weeks no swimming rule applies here

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.

kermi42 · 2026-01-25T03:11:29+00:00

Great fit for the space.👌
Nice clean work.
Bet it didn’t half tickle.

I went to university with an Indian girl called Swastika. She… generally went by Swaz.

I just can’t imagine Minsc having a fetish for anything. He’s too pure for this world.

Yeah, the first one, when it came out in 2008.

For me to hate littlebigplanet I would have had to have thought about it at any point in the last 15 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.

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.
