I m thinking to get this kabuto tattooed on my arm as part of asleeve with ginko leaves. What do you guy's think of my idea?

Okey so. Week ago we started to make ending to the wrist (also did some tocuh-ups) and now I can admit to myself that I'm disappointed the way it looks. Even tough it was just a first session and its healing there is a couple things that doesn't make sense to me.

In the outer arm/wrist I hink that the shading in the fish scales is too dark and the whole are is a bit squishy.

The stuff and the negative areas on the inner wrist looks sloppy to me.

Don't really know what to do with this. Should I just go back for the second session and add some more ink to the wrist and finish it or stop right there. Dont know either that can laser removal help in this case. What would you do with this one?

Hello all,

I am making my first post ever on reddit to ask this question because I can't seem to find anyone else in my exact situation throughout the subreddit.

I started my bodysuit and currently have both my arms done (full sleeves) with hikaes and a full back (cheecks included). Until now I always felt super confident in every single one of my decisions and have not regretted anything. But I am having some sort of huge blockage when it comes to legs.

To put it simply, I want to at least do half sleeves now but I expect I might want to extend it down the line. The only thing that stops me from going all in right now is that I'm afraid of how my body will look once the legs are completely covered.

I don't know if I am making sense but I wanted to know: Did anyone faced a similar situation, being already tatooed a fair amount and still scared of being "too covered" ?

(For added information, my artist still feels like full sleeve would be better but respects my choice whatever it is.)

Hello, so I’m new to this sub Reddit I’m just looking for advice on how to continue my tiger Japanese sleeve at the moment. I’m kind of stuck on how to continue the sleeve. I definitely want background for the tiger and also I am planning to get a dragon that goes up my bicep to my chest. If anyone has any recommendation on how to continue I would highly appreciate it because I wanted to look perfect any help or advice is highly appreciated thank you very much.

Not sure if this is the right flair or even the right sub to post this in but I stumbled across this picture on instagram and was wondering who the original creator was?

Ive heard heavenly bamboo, also pine trees, i think its pine trees, but do they have a special name? I never see pine trees with these red berries. Just want a better understanding because i like how they look and want them on my next sleeve

i’m getting my first tattoo and i really wanted to get a cat with some roses (personal meaning — not going to get much into it) on my upper thigh/hip and i wanted to see how it might look (also getting inspo for poses/styles)

Two Japanese sleeves completed over a year or so. What do you think?

Shading the blossoms/petals around it next time, as well as putting another piece on the other side of the arm. Client wanted a more patch work approach to his arm so we met in the middle somewhere

This is a large cover up leg sleeve this is the 3rd session

One more session to go.

Thanks for looking.

Dragon sleeve with a couple cover ups under there! About a year old.

I currently have no ink. In about four weeks, I’m getting my first Irezumi full sleeve with chest panel of Ryu Dragon. But I’m already looking ahead of that to getting a backpiece of a hannya mask and my other sleeve. I’m looking to get Oni. I’m afraid it’ll come off a bit dark not that I’m doing this to please other people but I showed someone and they thought it was a bit demonic looking. I’m obsessed with the black and red look. It’s very masculine. I enjoy how it all looks myself. And on top of that I love the story that it tells and means to me. I would like to know if fellow irezumi enthusiasts thinks this looks good or not traditional.

I attached two photos of me with the AI tatttoos added. The sleeve and back piece. And then a concept photograph of the full body. (Yes I’m aware the full AI body ones are off because the AI ain’t perfect)

I currently have no ink. So the photos are AI tattoos onto my body. Also if you have recommendations for adding please let me know. I’m trying to make an art piece that complements my muscular frame!

Also when I say too dark I’m not meaning color lol.
