My new tattoo. Line work is done. Shading is next. How bad

>>10709374
I like it, are you even Polynesian tho?

>>10709378
Nop, from brazil.
It is just based on the polynesian design, there is a lot of symbols made up to look better LOL

Some of that linework looks shoddy as fuck mate especially all those vertical triangles

as a fag who has no interest in tattoos at all it looks pretty nice to me

>tattoo
trashed

>>10709374
that's something i really despise

if it's not part of your culture why the hell you tattooed it? to look "cool", "pretty"??

i mean, there are tons of things you could've tattooed, but you choose something that has no cultural meaning for you, plus you say there are made up symbols to make it "look better"

so basically what you did was appropriate on someone else's culture and then say the design - which is cultural- wasn't good enough

i won't even bother writing more because i know you won't even try to understand what i am saying, so good luck with this cultural appropriation aka dumbass stamp in your arm for the rest of your life

oh and answering your question - it doesn't look awful but it could've been much better. there are problems with lines and pattern

>>10709401
cringe

>>10710054
no one gives a shit about culture and their shitty looking tattoos, they didnt invent this type of design so they can suck a dick

>>10710054
shut the fuck up

>>10710054
i understand what are u saying, but people tattoo "japanese" every day, adapt it and shit, and nobody says a thing.
it is just weird that the polynesian guys (maori, samoan, etc) have this thing of "it is restricted only to us because of CULTURE".
Art > culture. all day.

>>10710054
>i won't even bother writing more
yet you kept going lmao.

>>10709374
Don't shade t b h. Looks better that way

>>10709374
Hopefully the shading doesn't fuck it up too bad. The wrap on your shoulder already contrasts from your body's natural structure. So in a neutral pose it's cringe.

>>10709374
Im very jealous. It looks wonderful so far.

>>10709374
Looks pretty damn awesome OP. I haven't seen anything this good looking in a while.

>>10710054

Do you have any idea how retarded you are? People don't tattoo "japanese". You mean dumb westeners tattoo themselves japanese signs and tie some kind of meaning to it. This has nothing to do with actual cultural japanese tattoos.

>>10709374
literally makes you look like trash. No artistic meaning conveyed at all. Classic pleb tattoo

retarded comment

>>10710847
That's not even traditional japanese. That was a promo for a restaurant called Miss Ko or something like that. Try harder next time.

rekt

>>10710847
This ins't a traditional Japanese body tattoo. Notice there is no symmetry or figures and the coloring is very non traditional.

Nice try tho baited/10.

>>10709374

>adding your own squiggly lines on sacred/traditional designs because you think they'll look sweet

Please(!), please, tell me pic is not you and you're not really this damn autistic.

Holy shit, family. What the fuck were you thinking? "Yeah, I'll make a row of lines like this, then another of this shape, and maybe this other one". For fuck's sake son, the entire thing looks like complete shit. Apologies if this is too blunt, but seriously, someone should have stopped you.

>>10711662
agreed

Not a big fan of these type of tattoos but yours looks p good, OP.

>>10710466
At least your tattoo has the sense to continually ask the question

>y?
>y?
>y?

Jk, what are your plans for shading and filling?

>>10710054
This desu

All tattoos are shit but yours especially so

your country has its own indigenous culture, body modifications, and folk art. and instead of drawing from it, you went polynesian?

>cultural Japanese tattoos
Japanese people tend to look down on tattoos, they are associated with the yakuza. You can't even enter a japanese bath house if you have tattoos.

>>10709401
Are you perhaps from a capital in the south of the country?

>>10714525
nop. really far from there.

>>10714543
Then know that someone this way's got a tattoo that looks similar to yours, my good nordestino friend.

>to look "cool", "pretty"??
I too exist outside of the need for social validation. I have achieved ego death and the opinions and judgments of the plebs that surround me matter not. I would tip my hat to you sir but I think neither of us needs that kind of gesture to feel validated. :^)

On a serious note you are the biggest retard in this thread, yes even more so than OP. Cultural appropriation does not exist, you need to read less tumblr. People like you would have called the impressionists shitlords because of japonisme.

>>10714553
what u mean? do u know someone with it?

>>10714588
After you said you weren't from around here I noticed it's actually not that similar, so meh... don't mind it.

It looks like it was done by a pen.
