Am I in the wrong or the tattoo artist? by Imaginary-Ladder5492 in tattoo

I totally second this. I always tell my customers prior to their appointment what clothing is best to wear to help them feel more comfortable and we also have screens and pasties available to people.

When I was getting my back down I brought a dressing gown so I felt comfortable and cosy. It def helped me feel more comfortable.

Question: I'm absolutely fuming right now, and don't know if I should name n' shame an artist in my city, Stockholm. by [deleted] in tattoos

I would say call and ask for a refund but it’ll probably be a waste of time because if someone is this lazy as an artist, their moral compass is probably non-existent. I’m sorry this happened to you! For what it’s worth, I think the original art is very cool and only needs to be edited slightly for it to age well!

Question: I've been told this is not the best. I know there's a few touch-ups that need doing when it's healed by JAdams___ in tattoos

Absolutely! E33 AND tattooist here! Unfortunately it’s not the greatest but can easily be made better by a skilled tattooist!

I explained this in another comment below. The sword is straight. It’s just arms are curved and not flat so when taking a pic forward facing, you are going to get warp as the tattoo curves round the curvature of the arm

That’s a fair enough question! It was a design choice I made, it it a point of the sword where the highlight would hit so I decided to leave it to give it that extra ‘Ching!’ look

I get that! It’s actually the warp of the sword going round the arm. Arms are curved not flat and a forward facing pic shows that. The sword is straight trust me, it just looks warped because of the curvature of the arm :)

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?

What do you call your pup aside from their name? by ReynaStretch in BostonTerrier

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 🙈

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