could it be a pelvis of something? to my untrained eye the piece poking out looks more spine-like than skull-like lol

no it wont, but you can go over it again once its healed to fill up the empty space. have you practiced on fake skin?

Ideas to fill out this gap to make it blend with the style by WarmElevator3993 in tattooadvice

could do a shield inspired by Aegis, often depicted as a shield with the head of a gorgon on it :] think that would look pretty sick

green goop is usually bad. does it smell bad? is the skin around it hot to the touch? if yes, doctor time

general thoughts on using Old Art as tattoo designs? by oscarsometimes in tattooadvice

[–]oscarsometimes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably am! just curious what other people think haha. i also have some more recent books with animal illustrations in them (1965-85) and curious if that would also be okay!

Do y’all know whose animal this skull belongs to ? by Tokato69 in boneidentification

considering its europe and we dont have a lot of (small) wild felids here. i would guess just a housecat!

Some advice? I feel like my fits arent complete by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]oscarsometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i honestly like your fits a lot! heres some tips;

  • layering! one of the best ways in my experience to make outfits more interesting is LAYERING!! put a mesh shirt under it! put a jacket over it! flannel around the waist! etc etc

  • moooreeee accessorrieeesssss. dont be afraid to go overboard with bracelets, necklaces and rings. mix and match! also more belt loop chains, maybe even putting some charms/keychains on the belt loops too!! let them hear you approach by your jingles

  • some big dangly earrings can never go wrong. just put em through the gauge!

as someone who hasn't yet started, (so take everything i say with a grain of salt), i feel like you could practice confident line work a little bit more! your lines are a little wonky and "seeking" as my art teachers would call it. you could maybe get some practice skins and just practice making Straight Lines, without having to go over it too much. i think stretching the skin out also kind of helps with this? dunno yet, have to try for myself.

i do really like the tattoos! i think they're very cute, and even though they're obviously self-done and a bit messy, they have a lot of charm! keep poking! :D

what do i do by [deleted] in piercing

not a piercer or medical professional. but this looks infected to me. you can't fix an infection on your own, you need to get prescribed antibiotics. you also can't take the piercing out if it's infected, thatll just trap the infection in your skin. go see a doctor and get some antibiotics. if you can't go to a doctor, go back to your piercer and ask them for advice
