good/interesting art edition
been thinking about this walizweska? probs thigh placement.
>>12299021
is the dog trying to blow itself?
>>12299026
think the she dog is biting herself.
>muh artsy fartsy lineart
>>12299052
usually translates well to the medium of tattoos.
>>12299081
They look incomplete and don't carry the same 'timeless' aesthetic other styles do.
>>12299225
You say that like it's true
>>12299016
I've been thinking in tattoing something from the codex seraphinianus for my first tattoo, what do you think?
>>12299036
Idk it kinda looks like it, maybe some other waliszewska tattoo would be better
>>12299225
timeless like fedora dragons and obnoxious american designs
im super good on that
No replies last thread so one more time. Thinking about getting something from the 12 keys of basil valentine, which is better
>>12299413
>>12299259
those illustrations are pretty cool, scientific illustrations of plants usually make nice tattoos
>>12299259
>that image
Am I seeing this right? Trees could actually detach itself from earth and swim away?
What the fuck?
>>12299372
This is corny.
>>12299431
The Codex Seraphinianus, where that image comes from, is a mysterious text that appears to be an encyclopedia of fictional plant and animal life written in a fictional, invented, or coded language. Little is known of its author or why they chose to create such a bizarre work. As for the language, all known attempts to decode it so far have failed.
>>12299443
Oop, I didn't remember the details quite right. We know who created it, but yeah, it's fictional.
>>12299453
Yeah the author gives credit to a cat that would visit him every day that he was writing it.
>>12299413
IV.
VII. has to much of geometry which can be taken as "trendy geometrical tattoos by normies and assholes.
Besides, IV. is more interesting, just make sure you'll save enough space on your body for it.
>>12299579
Yeah i was thinking of getting VII on my forearm or IV on my ribs as far as placement goes
Posting again.

Wow pretty good
Wanna get this on the back of my calf, how big should I get it?
>>12300181
Just like every other unoriginal faggot who reads the manga
>>12300181
Everyone has these. Get something else.
thinking of getting a woodcut of José Guadalupe Posada, since i'm mexican, i admire his work and consider myself an art enthusiast, also, they are pretty dope, will dump some examples, tell me what you think

love this one, I'm Mexican too, and have been thinking of getting the borracho skeleton somewhere on me
>>12300907
i ran into a guy the other day that had an aztec hieroglyph tattoo of the place-sign for the city he was born in which was super dope
>>12300597
really like the style, which one are you leaning towards
>>12300085
v nice
>>12299259
I've been obsessing over the codex for years.
It is an amazing tattoo.
>>12299259
In full colour?
>>12299278
10/10
>>12299443
You're getting this mixed up with the voynich manuscript, the medieval document that inspired the codex.
>>12301161
I can't believe you've done this
>>12300085
Sick man, how do you get such thick lines for boarder do you use a bigger needle or just keep going over it?
>>12301036
I did, yeah

Haven't seen anyone with it irl so im good

I'm looking for a pic of a tattoo that an anon published a while ago, it was two persons walking and I can't remember if we had it in his ankle or clave. Tyvm
>>12301326
My guess is you're a teenager that has nearly no knowledge of tattoos because of that question.
I bet the boarder is a 9 line, it's nine small needles that gives a fatter line.
>>12299021

reposting this piece from a few threads back
>>12299417
Next tattoo planned, male on left forearm, woman on right forearm, and the bird+vertical rose on both.
Are anchor tattoos too overdone now?
I want to get an anchor pulling something down on my wrist/forearm kinda like this.
Probably not a diver though.
>>12299259
get the alligator couple
>>12300855
>demon of lust is named anal
>>12300729

Not op but thanks because I'm 23 and have no knowledge of tattoos

got this yesterday
>>12303188
wow that looks like hot shit
And that's coming from me, someone who is stuck with a triforce tattoo on their wrist for life

>>12299016
When I get the time to, I'm going to make a personalized version of the Far Cry 3 tatau.
>>12300916
I'm still not sure, the first one is the coolest looking one to me, but the others have that /fa/ sense to them, tho i want to find a good artist first
>>12299016
Scythian tats cause I'm from eastern europe
>>12302589
very nice. blackwork or color?
>>12302686
yes
>>12303188
dude not gonna lie that looks horrible, sorry
>>12303188
what painting is that based on again?
Got my appointment in a month. Thinking about doing something like this. Any advice?
>>12302686
Anchors are a staple. That's like asking are 'jeans overdone'.
>>12302686
there is the "anchors are for sailors" stigma to be aware of.
>>12303490
Blackwork, may use some gold/silver inking for the sun and moon
>>12302580
whats the little white circle thing
>>12300726
thanks for ruining my pic manny pacquio
>tfw wanna get edgy tattoos but too pussy for metal mode
>>12302686
if you're not a sailor or a teen white girl don't get an anchor
>>12303552
this exact tattoo is posted all the time, it looks good in my opinion but just dont post it here
anyone got good neck tattoo pics to show? i'd like big pieces, pretty much covering 3/4 of the neck facing the front.
>>12303495

>That awful quality and non geometric placing
Anon you are triggering me
I'm in a good mood since im getting my new tattoo next week, so here, I made this for you
I've been looking at artists and I found this guy. https://www.instagram.com/ringo.leone/?hl=en
Alot of his look nice but it seems like he has issues with contrast ie, too dark. Second opinion?
All non gang / military related tattoos are silly.
No adult is going to take you serious with anime girls or these abstract, edgy, tattoos.
>>12303202
Haha I told you it was a bad idea hitler. Hope you're well.
>>12304376
Th-thanks Anon
>>12304415
looks good to me, it just seems like that high contrast level is part of his style. If you don't like it you should find someone else though
>>12304500
It's appealing but I'm not sure about how stuff like that fades. Will you even be able to tell what any of that is in 5 years?
>>12304505
I think you're severely overestimating the aging process, they'll look fine + you can always get things touched up if you want them to look more fresh
>>12304532
Alright. Thanks for your advice.

I mean chrome is definitely the best browser but do you really need...

been thinking about getting a simplified, outlined version of the man and the bull
>>12304679
>a black guy on your body forever
>not knowing what 'prepping the bull' is
>>12299021
i like her illustrations
>>12304679
sounds cool... you should take some time and draw it yourself
>>12304683
hahaha
>>12302329
he said it was a pokie
I'm full of shitty homemade stuff.

Personnally like it, I don't understand the disgust of the other anons

>>12304463
>hitler
what did he mean by this?
>>12304742
Okay. That means nothing when you can tell the outline is a solid thick line.
I've been mulling over the idea of getting one of these tattooed on my left pectoral for a while.
>>12299225
> My subjective opinion is a fact
Colour me surprised
>>12304888
>888
It must be done
Been wanting to get this turned into a tattoo. Any opinions?
>>12304917
Damn, didn't even notice. I guess that seals the deal.
>>12303206
you're a massive faggot lol
>>12304966
I think it would be great if you'd get only the two face minus the fur in front of the girl. Where would you do it?
>>12305004
Yeah I agree; I don't need all that dark shit around it.
I'd prolly do inner forearm right under the elbow, not really interested in any other spot.
Mostly just worried about finding a decent artist that do the detailing. Live in NY so shouldn't be too hard tho.
>>12304966
I was actually thinking the same when i saw this in /wg/
>>12305049
Good taste.
takato yamamoto has a bunch of good art for tattoos.
>>12304892
the squiggly line a bit left of center isn't part of any letter or number why is it there
>>12304892
>waiting for the squiggle to activate
fuck
>>12305098
>>12305112
this, it's pissing me off
>>12305023
Sounds great. Depending what style you want to go for, try looking up Henrick B. Nielsen (@hbnielsen ). He is super talented and a great guy + he'll be able to make something unique out of your concept
>>12304888
prove you're white first.
>>12305666
>>12303188
reminds me of this
>>12305677
HOW BAD DOES IT HURT THOUGH, LET'S SAY I DO A SMALL ONE ON MY SHOULDER LIKE A BLACK FLAG TAT???
>>12305777
It hurts less than a shot, but it's over and over and over again
>>12305842
goddamn it, how is it that I've seen so many 18-20 year olds already covered in tats? Aren't they supposed to be really expensive and painful?!?
>>12305928
Daddy's money and not everyone's a pussy?
>>12305098
Probably meant to be a part of Q or 1 by whoever made the gif fucked up
Getting a tattoo is so incredibly beta. Unless its in memoriam of a very close loved one. Or received in jail by force. Otherwise it screams "inadequate"
>>12301161
youre a fucking faggot who will never amount to anyhting log off the internet u fucker if i ever find you im gonna hurt youfuckerbitch

On my shin or calf, but not sure about colors.

the top side is like that intentionally btw, it'll connect to the piece I get next.
I was thinking of getting this done but without the flowers. Thoughts?

this is most effay without any text

Why not?
>>12300726
who is this?
>>12306867
a tattoo is a piece of art you'll have on you forever. I don't really agree with the whole "tattoos have to have meaning or you'll regret them" thing but at least get something that has some artistic merits. This just looks like some edgy tumblr bullshit. If being straight edge is so important to you that you want a permanent marking on your body, I would encourage you to think of ways to abstract the idea and distill it down to something unique/aesthetic
>>12300041
KANGZ
>>12306841
God tier tattoo idea and design, go for it.
>>12306823

The idea is nice but there's something that makes it look poorly done, but I can't pinpoint exactly what. That shark looks mildly retarded

>>12306802
>>12306805
>>12306808

All of them are semi-poor quality, made by craftsman, not an artist.
>>12300833
What are you a 2012 basic bitch???
>>12307018
Can you give an example of high quality tattooing?
>>12307070
not that anon but
>>12307077
Not bad although i'm not a huge fan of the shape, but I still don't understand how the other anon does not consider
>>12305267
being an artist
>>12307123
>>12307123
if it only takes one month for some mediocre kid to be able to replicate it then it's not artistic
>>12307147
Anything can be replicated, being an artist is about creating something unique. Give me a month and i'll be able to make something similar to Wes Lang's or Warhol's piece but that doesn't make them any less artistic it just makes me an asshole for stealing their art.
>>12307123
yeah I didn't see the issue with that one either but it's hard to argue that
>>12306808
and
>>12306811
are any good
>>12307123
>>12307257
Linework is too thin compared to shading or shading is too intensive compared to light touch on contour.
Jaw and teeth are made completely wrong (and it's not case of stylization here) and look rather flat than dimensional. Same goes with laurel wreath.
I don't want to be overly critisicing, so I'll say that skull sockets are done really well.
Thinking about getting this.
>>12299259
you should get the bleeding pear
>>12307295
Is there a best artist in NYC to get something like this >>12307077 done?
>>12304343
memes aside, chrome really is the best browser
>>12306841
Ultima Ratio, motherfucker.
Google it.
>>12307295
I guess it's all a matter of personal taste but I prefer tattoos that are not hyper realistic.
>>12307397
Not him but try Rachel Hauer
>>12307568
No, it doesn't depend on personal taste that much. I also prefer stylized tattoos, most of the time I despise photorealistic portrait tattoos etc.
But you can obviously tell, that tattoo of man on a boat that you've just posted is better quality wise than this skull that we were talking about.
>>12307626
I agree, but I wouldn't say that Rachel is better than Henrick or vice-versa they just have a different style. Henrick makes great pieces if you want something that is well done while still looking a little rough while Rachel does impressive woodcut-esque tattoos
>>12307649
Well I already stated my opinion on his linework and shading. That's what bugs me most, and it's a matter of experience and technique, not style.
>>12300726
>tatooing yourself like a shit-tier grafitti wall
seriously
>>12307626
>it doesn't depend on personal taste that much

I wanna get this on my ass cheek, honestly
I'm a /mu/ man, so i'm thing about an album cover
>>12308124
I don't know i have mixed feeling about these. I think the chest looks super clean both composition and design wise but I feel like there is too much going on on the arms
>>12308124
(Talking about the left guy)
While I think woodcut tattoos are awesome and I might consider getting one, I think they might be the next fad.
>>12308480
shit i just fucking got one
don't tell me I'm gonna look like a retard please
>>12308483
Don't fucking brag about it and we can keep it under wraps for alittle while longer

Back again
>>12308151
Not much more retarded than taking half of statement out of the context.
>>12307505
This is...like...allow me to geek out for a second here.
its a piece that can only be fully appreciated as a full nude body view. As an individual, only the people you get naked with will be able to fully understand and appreciate its beauty.
Its art that can only be fully realized in intimacy, that's meta in the coolest [most romantic?] way possible.
>>12307876
Oni riding a koi seems like a really confused mish-mash of symbolism...
ever read about that dude that almost got skinned for traveling to india with a fucked tattoo of vishnu?
>>12308740
why did you get guernica...?
the concept of getting a painting as a tattoo seems odd to me, it was never composed to facilitate the canvas of skin.
like I try not to attack tattoos too hard, because it is basically permanent and it really makes people feel bad when I rag, but its almost like that logic was "google: Picasso's most influential works"
>>12308766
>ever read about that dude that almost got skinned for traveling to india with a fucked tattoo of vishnu?
Not that anon but tell me more.
>>12300085
fucking why, awful, this makes me think less of you without knowing you
>>12308782
This. At some point in your life someone will ask you about it, and you'll tell them it was a confused time where you nearly embraced your lack of self respect in the most degenerative way.
As it stands now its really trendy to show your self awareness of flaws but that doesn't mean they should be celebrated. Or in this case
Permanent.
>>12308778
Here's the article
http://timesofindia

indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/Bengaluru-Australian-man-harassed-made-to-apologize-for-tattoo-on-shin/articleshow/49446140.cms
>>12308760
that was beautiful but you say that while hundreds of nerds online gawk at it lol
>>12308776
The real guernica is over 7 metres long, I always liked the painting so I travelled to Seoul and asked the artist to draw his interpretation on the painting. If anything it's a homage to Picasso.
As far as I am aware, no one has ever gotten the majority of the painting tattooed as a small scale stand alone piece as tattooer skill has only recently reached a point where such fine details could be captured.
I consider my skin to be a canvas too which is why I have several rectangular tattoos ( as frames in a gallery )
>>12308800
>"I consider my skin to be a canvas too which is why I have several rectangular tattoos ( as frames in a gallery )"
ok thats actually a pretty cool interpretation, like you're dehumanizing yourself for the sake of art.
>>12308792
Its the chan, I hate to bark about the old ways but back then we weren't conditioned to believe all anons fit within this certain meme of "jaded, cynical, hateful" so ideas kinda flew around easier.
>>12308811
What can I say, tattoos are attention grabbing.
However I have noticed many people do not actually take notice of the actual artwork, they just think ' oh I see a tattoo, this guy has a tattoo'.
>>12308822
if I saw it I'd still ask "WHY GUERNICA?!" as you're literally showing a depiction of a violent bombing filled with twisted agony.
ever think about getting some stuff from takashi murakami?
>>12308825
Haha I can't give you another reason except for that I thinks it looks good on the skin.
I'm familiar with his art but I don't think it would translate that well to a tattoo, at least not one I would have inked. Speaking of Japanese artists, I have a tattoo that is a blend of koi fish and a geisha from one of Araki's photographs.
>>12308836
like its a photograph cropped within the koi?
I JUST NOW looked at Araki's photography and he is very good at making things ugly...like making outwardly pretty things truly disgusting...
its a weird concept but I dig it.
>>12308787
this
>>12308842
I agree
>>12308853
oh dang its shibari rope bondage at that... that's a huge can of worms to be wearing openly.
>>12308858
More concerned about her being drowned, honestly.
>>12308766
But japanese/Chinese don't worship Koi, and/or oni, other than fudo-myoo which is something different entirely, also it's not much of a Mish mash, koi aren't Holy, they're just considered "masculine" and are respected, and some koi have killed, like in the story of Oniwakamaru where a giant koi kills Oniwakamaru's parents and he goes after it to kill it
so a demon riding a "masculine" koi isn't that much of a stretch, you just don't see it that often, you usually just see Oniwakamaru or the Golden boy riding them
Also I'm fairly certain a Japanese "Hori" made the design, as well as Indians are much more manic than japanese ppl
>t. an aspiring tattooist

damn, cheers
how have i not heard of that shit before
>>12308995
I legit have had this picture on my computer for like a year.... tattoo inspo for a mostly-geometric 3/4 sleeve/shoulder piece I want.
>>12308602
it can't, takes too much effort to find a good artist, too much time to sit getting one done well, and too much money for all the basic bitches to go ask their local tattoo artist friend for one
>>12308607
same tag in the nice and pls no
?
>>12308858
Not who you're replying to, but why? Its not even that apparent in that specific tattoo imho. I found put that until you present it in a very sexual way people don't even care that much

Ayyy. I want that too but I don't want it mistaken for some illuminati crap.

oh god whyyyy. do the ladies love that?

bet that blackened rib cage pain made you really think about your life decisions.

anime is shit and for children.
>>12311016
I agree that anime targets a younger audience but this aired 18 years ago. Everybody likes kid stuff at one point retard.

Your tattoos are done well but the fact that they're in perfect rectangles that aren't lined up or anything triggers me.
>>12308319
Thoughts on something like this?
>>12312181
Why do you need the approval of a bunch of anonymous losers on an anglo-saxon tapestry loom to decide if you like it or not?
>>12312191
What you guys think of it won't affect my decision very much. I still want anonymous opinions about since people who know you might not always give an honest one.
>>12310671
Wow, you're a massive faggot...

getting a maze tattoo is one of the dumbest things you can do
you know everyone is going to want to trace the correct path with their finger while you're trying to cuddle
>>12312245
Is that... a bad thing?
thinking of getting something similar to this
>>12312302
This us beautiful but I think that every goth basic bitch is going to have one soon, it feels like the kind of stuff that's generic enough to add your twist to it but also specific enough to be annoying to see on a lot of people. I was actually thinking of getting something similar at some point but I changed my mind

Needs more tacos and whiskey. The dandelion things should be palm trees.
I am fascinated by Purtian New England's art, especially from engravings and headstones. Thinking about getting something like that done on my shoulder.

>>12312756
i had that on a demo disc years and years ago
Is this /fa/ ?
>>12308740
higher quality pics pls
>>12312302
Don't
>>12313242
It's an interesting design and I think that you should rework it when you'll be more experienced with dotwork and steady lines. Possibly a good tattoo too, if done by decent artist.
newest one, what do you think
>>12313502
not bad, how long was the session and how much did it cost?
>>12305777
You're probably not even in this thread anymore but still.
Hurts but after a lil, it just gets annoying. Honestly doesn't hurt. And I'm quite the pussy.
Also like the other anon said

About 250, 3 hours
>>12313800
I'm still here. Thanks for the info, fâm!
>>12313805
