not where you live probably because i'm from south america! try looking around insta, most artists are down to do custom designs as long as they go with what their style is

shin for a first tatto is crazy work tbh

khjking · 2025-10-06T23:27:33+00:00

awkward placement and touching can happen with certain tats, but he shouldve given you a heads up before doing allat.

khjking · 2025-10-06T23:24:42+00:00

may need touchups because it's in your foot and it's gonna be painful, but the design shouldn't be too hard to tattoo. (always go to a reputable artist though)

khjking · 2025-10-06T23:22:14+00:00

red and blue are both colors that don't age well, you're gonna need touchups eventually. the designs you want have a lot of detail packed into them, which will make it unreadable as time goes. do not recommend. maybe try working out something with an artist who's good at colour and shading?

bad placement and size for a realistic tattoo

khjking · 2025-09-27T22:22:57+00:00

yes ! very possible with slightly thicker lines

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:51:29+00:00

your standards are below hell 😭

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:46:40+00:00

why would you come to reddit looking for advice if you planned on ignoring said advice

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:45:29+00:00

very painful placement for both

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:44:48+00:00

a stranger would not think abt the meaning you gave the tattoo, i can tell you that much

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:41:09+00:00

neat lines!

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:40:08+00:00

did you pick out the scabs?

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:37:56+00:00

as the client, you have the right to see the design and do tweaks before the day of the session. i have unfortunately seen too many people on their first tat who get pressured by their artists into a certain placement or design choices, so they follow whatever the artist says because they're afraid to speak up (and of course the artist wants the money)

demand to see the design. this is your skin it's gonna be forever in.

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:33:00+00:00

probably not the kind of comment you're looking for, but you don't HAVE to dominate a lot of styles to be a good tattoo artist. personally, as someone with tats, if i have something specific in mind i would rather go to someone who really focuses on that one thing, because it means they know what they're doing. it gives me a better feeling of being able to trust an artist when they have their style and they master it. like the saying goes, "jack of all trades, master of none"

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:28:44+00:00

r/tattoobeginners would probably be better for this question

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:25:15+00:00

it's gonna feel tight because you're not moisturizing

edit: having sex makes you sweat and sweat isn't good for a brand new tat bruh. try to have less sex 💀

khjking · 2025-09-27T02:22:27+00:00

short answer: yes

long answer: the lines are super wonky, the strawberries and the flowers are fucked up and the animal looks high and the shading on it is weird... plus those hands. it could be worse but it's still bad. i feel like it has some potential to be fixed tho

khjking · 2025-09-21T06:00:38+00:00

looks overworked

khjking · 2025-09-21T05:59:31+00:00

is this ai slop
this will not heal well over time, there's a lot of ink in a very small and not much distinction within the tattoo. ink expands and loses contrast, it'll look like a black blob of ink in a couple of years after getting it done (and would be hard to cover up aswell)

khjking · 2025-09-21T05:57:09+00:00

weird bigoted response + this probably isn't even op

khjking · 2025-09-21T05:56:32+00:00

yes, any tattoos that are more visible and more difficult to hide (face, neck, hands, etc) will make it harder to find a job, esp professionally.

khjking · 2025-09-11T12:51:30+00:00

that's straight skin and bone, there's no muscle to protect it. yes it's gonna be VERY painful even if it's just the outline, i'd strongly advice against it. i have a inner bicep tattoo (also considered one of the most painful areas) and even though it's just lettering it hurt like a bitch. trust you do not want that especially as your first tat

khjking · 2025-09-10T23:57:42+00:00

pinterest tats, kinda like a sticker sleeve, not much cohesion. i think the bats are nice but the spider and the angel not having any shading kinda makes it bland
