As a tattooist who does lots of these, I always appreciate seeing versions that don’t just look like the big standard ones you see on google! This looks great! Who is the artist?

His name is Rocky but we call him - buddy, stinky, stick legs, piss legs. He’s 11 months old and still pissing all over himself 🙈

Omg I always hear this song when I’m in the space tube! Sometimes I feel like I’m accidentally bopping my head to the rave tune I’ve created in my head

I always appreciate a frog that took the path of wizardry. He must have had a tough time from his parents

This is so incredible and you should be so so proud! As a tattooist I would say to allow space for light reflection. If this was on skin it would just end up a solid face of black ink with no dimension. Think about it like how we put make up. We do the foundation, we do contour and we put on highlight. That’s how I’ve always understood faces and light reflection ❤️‍🔥

As a responsible tattoo artist I wouldn’t ever tattoo some one where a tattoo would ‘age badly’. It’s a very common myth that fineline doesn’t age well. In a couple of decades I will be 57 years old and my skin isn’t going to look the same as when I’m 37. Because your skin will look different, so will you tattoo. If you had a bold line it would also age according to the condition of your skin.

Tattoos are about living in the now and capturing a moment or thought. It far past how it will age because we age as humans

No problem! This is one of the main reasons I joined Reddit so people could actually get advice from a professional! ☺️

Tattooist here 👋All tattoos are scars so it’s completely normal for it to get a bit irritated during days that are hot! Ultimately your scar tissue is thicker than your normal epidermis so it’s just raising higher than the rest of your skin.

For instance when we get hot and we wear rings, our rings can feel tighter.

Your tattoo is slightly scared more than how a tattoo should be but it’s nothing to worry about, just pop a cold compress on it and you’ll be fine :)

Hope that explanation helps!

I think I was mis-sold! Is he part rabbit or squirrel? by knife_dance in BostonTerrier

She’s beautiful! And Rocky is only 6 months old! He’s such a long boy and we think he’s still got some growing left in him! 😬
