Tattoo thread.
Bonus points if they are your own.
I will be posting my favourites and what I think are the best tattoos, some of them might even be my own.
>>12082300
Will be visiting this artist in three weeks time and will post what I receive.
Double exposure writing
I am sure that those who follow johnny gloom and Louis loveless will agree their Anti authoritarian approach to tattoing is awesome
Sol tattoo
Shading
Two of my personal faves. Non conventional Aircraft looks very aesthetic on skin
Which one do you like more and why?
>>12082328
left, nose
Another South Korean wonder
>>12082330
I agree, I think the one on the left is done better, despite different style. I like the one on the right more ( because it's mine )
The #1 best collection of tattoos I've ever seen on a person
Modernised da Vinci , Vetruvian man and mona
>>12082337
Sorry forgot updated photo. Here is the last supper added
>>12082328
Left one, the eyes.
>>12082312
both those motherfuckers are sick with it
>>12082337
kind of corny
obligatory
>>12082349
i wanna get something of louis within next few years. Reason I like the da vinci stuff so much because all four pieces were designed by the same artist and is a homage to another artist so its pretty full circle.
Also, isn't that some arab dude with an ak47 tattoed on his arm? Seen him floating around instagram
>>12082356
this is my favorite from him, shit looks perfect
and yes, thats vahid moradi, one bad motherfucker

>>12082378
Imagine getting this text under too. Perfect combination
>>12082310
i really want to get a tattoo from this guy, does a great job designing these white/black snakes
me latest tats
>>12082300 decent, but will look like shit over time
>>12082306 not good and will look worse
>>12082308 way too abstract
>>12082310 not bad but white ink doesn't last
>>12082311 shit
>>12082317 fucking coffee? really bruh?
>>12082322 could have better execution, but it's pretty dope
>>12082324 i like it, but it's 7/10 at best
>>12082328 right, left will age well and the graphic novel approach translates well
>>12082332 sick. best so far
>>12082340 actually pretty sick too, but could have used better shading
>>12082343 trash
>>12082345 boring
>>12082348 less boring
>>12082351 points for uniqueness and low brow sensibilities
>>12082370 consider a lobotomy next
>>12082372 neat, but weak. better placement and shading please
>>12082378 nothing special about the tattoos, but it's a fucking statement
>>12082404 corny, but text under it on the throat or shoulder is agreat idea
>>12082383
who is vahid? i think im on the fbi watchlist for googling him
how about marked one? with waves
anybody got that pic of a skeleton coming out of a coffin with chains around it? its a tat on a forearm
>>12082328
left
right looks like it was going for hyperrealism and missed by a longshot
What would be a good placement for this ? Was thinking of left peck
>>12082744
p-pls respond
>>12082440
Please fuck off. Nobody enjoys this type of critique.

Anyone know any good tattoos that have to do with European ancestry or nationality?
>>12084974
search nordic/celtic tattoos, viking era, etc

I dig em, but what exactly is the one on the left?
>>12082744
Nice dubs. Could you post a higher res one? Looks cool though
>>12082908
What would the size be? It would be a shame to put something so small on a pec, unless you have a small pec that is.

I'm trying to find a celtic symbol (preferably from the belgae tribe) that hasn't been overrun by nazis (swastika, sun cross) or by neckbeards (celtic cross, thor's hammer)
Maybe /his/ is a better place to ask this? Idk how friendly they are to non-historians

This artist lives in my hometown. I want to visit him soon
>>12084974
You could start by stating where you're from. "European" isn't a nationality and your ancestors could be from China for all we know.
Getting tattoos of symbols that have nothing to do with you is on the same level as the classic "yeah dude, I can't read it but the tattoo artist told me it's the chinese word for 'courage'!"

I'm just curious, and in no way am I trying to point out anything for the sake of belittling anyone, but how many of you are art-history majors?
I'm seeing a lot of classical and renaissance art.
Anyone have inspo similar to pic related? Interested in getting a city grid/map type piece.
>>12087259
>do any of you have a degree?
>not tryong to belittle you
Nigger what?
But srsly you don't have to study classical art to enjoy it
>>12087304
No not like that, I didn't go to school for it or anything like that. But for someone to enjoy a very niche type of art so much that you get a tattoo of it seems like something a liberal arts student would do.
I wasn't trying to start anything I'm just curious.

>>12082436
muh beard core. enjoy for another 2 years
>>12087413
a lot of artists like classical art because the skill it takes is impressive, and a lot of artists are liberals

I was considering kind of something simple and sketchy like this. It would be home-made.
Would love to know what you think of this. Points if you get the reference.
>>12089495
Death In June is great, go for it
>>12086293

>>12089916
Deus Vult brother
Yeah I like it. I would probably just get the chi-rho though, maybe a little smaller.
>>12090008
I like the shield with the greek runes on it because I feel it symbolizes my greek heritage too, but I'm probably just gonna end up getting the Chi-Rho by itself
>>12090055
Oh that's cool then.
I would get something like this, I really like classical/graphic tattoos
>>12082404

Thoughts? I'm waiting till this guys books reopen to get another one.
>>12090277
Praise kek!
Thoughts?
>>12090425
I feel like this is neat but it's one of those cases where you should wait it out to decide if you want it. Seems to suface edgy like, "people create who they are, you probably would understand *scoff*" but that's literally every tattoo on /fa/
Are Trysteros try-hard?

What do you work with, anon?
I've decided that my left arm is going to be dedicated to black ink.
>>12095701
Same as mine! Left arm is black ink only
>>12095026
I work part time as a professional magician/entertainer for weddings, birthdays and corporate events ( haha no I don't wear a gay ass top hat and cape), it's been a great experience especially when you can leave someone with a experience they will never forget, I have had some particularly religious individuals accuse me of real black magic and witchcraft and asked me to leave them alone though haha

I love the color pallette of old traditional irezumi, with blks, grey's, green, and red, and yellow.
Nice timeless colors..
As an aspiring tattooist i never understood why /fa/ is so obsessed with ONLY black new age tumblr doodle-esq tattoos,
You hardly ever see traditional irezumi or American Traditional Tattoos in these threads even though they're the quintessential "tattoo" tattoo
When you think of a tattoo most ppl think of something like you'd see on Popeye or snake on Simpsons etc etc, not a geometric random design or a black doodle or abstract piece that looks out of place as a tattoo
Granted some of them on here are amazing on a technical scale, but as tattoos they always just scream out of place or seem like something a condescending Tumblr hipster would have..
Idk..I guess I like and appreciate traditions and history too much.
>>12101423
>>12101425
>>12101428
>>12101423
For me they're just kinda played out
I mean I like traditions and history, but why does traditional tattoos always mean american sailor tartoos or yakuza tattoos?
People have been getting tattoos for centuries, why not take inspiration from more obscure time periods?
Pic related is a prehistoric tattoo on the mummy of a siberian princess
>>12101719
Because modern tattooing as we now know it stemmed from the designs of American Traditional and Traditional Irezumi from the 30's-70's and while yes there are some like real tribal tattoos like Samoan, Aztec etc, etc, that have been around since the beginning the foundations of modern tattooing came from American and japanese traditional tattoos, also japanese irezumi has been around for hundreds and hundreds of yrs which is why traditional japanese will never go out of style since they're timeless designs that were pulled from Ukiyo-e woodblock prints back in the 1700/1800's
>>12101820
people like to put what they enjoy on their body, it so happens that not everyone cares about a traditional tattoo experience and the flavor isn't for them. You're opinionated and highly favor them for their historical input, and while that's fine it's also true that there are many more people who don't care for this style of tattoo. When you get into the nitty-gritty of tattoos it's all personal preference, there isn't really an established ruleset or anything like that. I really appreciate your educational outlook on Irezumi, but frankly if I'm getting tattooed I want black-work modern angular stuff, and that's merely an aesthetic preference as opposed to aspiring to keep "tattoo traditions".
>>12090008
Kek
Fucking larpers
Mulling over a minimal version of this, maybe just an outline with eyes, or maybe a version with an open mouth
Would probably be either on the shoulder or upper back
white people ruined irezumi
>>12102939
Japanese ruined irezumi,
They're so anti tattoo that they're willing to wipe out their history or future of it even though every part of the world wants it and tries to replicate it
hepl effay bros
i feel like tattoing something look alike jane does tattos, pic related
does anyone have any pics qith similar desings?

Hey /fa/m I want to start practicing stick n poke around my hip when I get back to uni next semester - anyone have any pointers?
>>12082429
Who is the guy who designs that tattoo?
>>12103500
They're credited to a Mr. Mirko Sata of Milan, Italy.
I work with a gentleman who is apparently acquainted with the snake master, who was apparently booked all throughout 2016. He's about to tour the states in Feb. Stack your money up and get yourself a custom entangled snake piece.

I hate 99% of tattoos, especially common average ones like flowers but that one looks really nice, well coloured

I´ve been thinking alot about it lately.
>>12108752
WOW, IT'S A FUCKIN SAIL BOAT!
No...don't get it. If you like it so much, frame it. But since so many faggots have sailboats. Especially Sailor Jerry style. You shouldn't even THINK about getting one too.

Holy shit this is really a far cry from fa of 2013-2014. There would have never been a legit thread about tattoos, unless it was a thread against tattoos. It really goes to show this board is just filled with newfags, and none of the old fucks of yesteryear.

What does /fa/ think about this as a tat, i doodled it but i'd probably get it cleaned up and in all black lines
>>12111652
BLACKED
>>12111652
Looks nice, but having suicidal imagery on your skin forever is the opposite of a good idea
>>12111652
Ffffound-core, also you should try drawing a more varied array of subject matter and never retread the pretty girls + guns + edgy zone again.
>>12111652
What would be a good placement for that ?
>>12111702
>>12111674
Honestly i think i agree with you, i was thinking it was too edgy but aesthetic wise i thought it was ok, is this better, heres another one i did,probably wouldnt have all the fractal bullshit(make it less complex) i put on there
>>12111750
I dunno, probably on the leg, but ima scrap it for now

I don't care for this style (it sorta reached 'tribal band' status in my eyes) but that's some really fucking good work.
>>12111652
Get it in color. All black would add edge you don't need.
>>12111992
I'm drawn to this, but I don't know why. Try a different background?

/fit/ is my main board. What's the point of anything if your body, what you are, is a loose sack of garbage? Our bodies evolved to be physically active. Can't be healthy, happy, or handsome without being fit.

Love the colors on this guy. The red, yellow, and black go well together.

that looks like shit. conceptually, it's a great design. but the shading is such trash. the handle is a blob and there's no fine detail in the jaw. beyond that the Mark isn't very close to accurate in shape and the demon trap is too delicate in comparison the the heavy blob of the blade.
I'm the guy who posted >>12108864
