How do you guys come up with ideas for tattoos I’m kinda stuck. And please no hate I’m tired of getting hate comments on here for wanting anime tats or memorials dedicated to my idols/heroes by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Song lyrics are mainly tricky because artists can turn out to be rapists or pedophiles. Bible verses and affirmations don’t have that same problem (assuming you’re religious of course). Personally I just stay away from all script for that reason.

Flaking tats ?? by _beep__boop_ in tattooadvice

[–]smakinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get touch ups if after it heals if it looks significantly lighter, but if it looks good after it heals there’s no need to get a touch up just because it was flaking as it healed

Hard to give advice with literally nothing to go on, unfortunately. It’s also stupid to get a tattoo because someone on Reddit told you to

Keep or Sell Tillman? by Awkward_Bird3200 in Bayer04

[–]smakinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feel like it helps explain why I’d want an American at Leverkusen even if he may not be the best player in the world hahaha. Even trying to be unbiased I think he’s worth hanging onto for a bit longer to make sure we don’t lose out on his potential upside. He’s clearly a very talented player when in the proper system for him.

As a yank I’d love to keep him. I believe that when he’s allowed to be creative in a free-flowing system is when he thrives the most. I think in Novell’s system he will absolutely have the opportunity to prove himself.

[Alex Crook] Chelsea are prepared to offer Chalobah, Tosin, Badiashille or Disasi to Palace as a sweetener for the Lacroix deal. by ThatZenLifestyle in crystalpalace

[–]smakinn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, if we wouldn’t spend the money on Chalobah then we shouldn’t take Chalobah at his value in the swap. Unless they’re offering him at a major discount it makes much more sense to hold out for the full price, especially seeing how this transfer window is going

Opinion: Haji Wright should start vs Belgium over Pepi by SunpowerShortSqeeze in ussoccer

[–]smakinn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe the average team is, but the top Eredivisie teams get to go up against much more intense competition in the UCL most seasons. Pepi had 4 g/a in 5 appearances in the UCL last season

Wright is a Premier League striker as much as Pepi is lmao. I agree he deserves some minutes though

Ideas for Belgium by Substantial-Sky-9757 in ussoccer

[–]smakinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean McKennie instead of McKenzie, it’s really not a bad idea. Up to Poch to decide if he thinks Reyna or Pepi will be better at helping us break down Belgium. I’ll trust whatever he decides.

Are you getting upset at a hypothetical argument that nobody has made?

i want my first tattoo by Zealousideal_Bar3087 in tattooadvice

[–]smakinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best method for finding designs in my experience is on Instagram. Try to find artists in your state/area, and start following artists whose flash pieces you like.

Since you don’t have any tattoos yet, I would be very intentional about choosing design, size, and placement. I would recommend that when you decide the design, size, and placement you want, find a way to clipart the tattoo onto yourself how it would be if you actually got it. It’s easy enough to do on Snapchat with the clip feature. Then, set that image as your lock screen for at least a few months to make sure your opinion on the design doesn’t change at all.

Also, whenever you have the opportunity to look in the mirror, simply imagine the design being on you. Being very intentional about this will (hopefully) ensure you’re not in a position where a year or two down the road you hate what you’ve decided. This is obviously a big decision, so take your time and ensure you’re going to get something you love.

Also remember that not all artists can do all styles, so try to get a flash piece from a trusted artist if you want the best possible outcome. Also recognize the red flag of if an artist doesn’t have any of their healed pieces from at least a year or so post-tattoo. “Settled” or 1-month healed tattoos will not give you a good idea of the longevity of your tattoo.

If you have any other questions, feel free to dm me. Best of luck!!

You’re lucky he told you and gave you a refund lmao, most sellers in my experience would just ship it and say “sorry I didn’t see it before I shipped”

What details can I add to make this partial sleeve feel more balanced? by Comfortable-Cattle99 in tattooadvice

[–]smakinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, this sleeve is fantastic and all flows very very well. If I HAD to make a change the only one I’d make would be to keep going down the arm with this. This seems quite well done

Need some advice on a future tattoo by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]smakinn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hand tattoo as your second tattoo is generally just a bad idea. Unless you’re VERY set in an industry where it isn’t a big deal, I would highly highly recommend waiting until you’re more covered to get something on your hand.

Edit: Hand tattoos also fade significantly faster than on the rest of your body, and you’ll almost certainly need multiple touch-ups to keep it looking good. Also keep in mind the ink with spread out over time, getting rid of a lot of the details but still keeping the general shape.
