/fa/ - Fashion

I also love the japanese demon tatoos, but I don't think I'll get one soon, people tend to have some real fear of demons and a lil scared I'll be judged

>>14506958
ask me how I know you're underage

Pic related is my arm. I love American Traditional style/nautical tattoos

>>14507007
just go away lil fag

>>14506958
the fact it's spaced out and very inky is good but besides that these are the most generic tattoos in the world. literally the tribal tattoos of the late 2010's

>>14507027
What makes a tattoo generic? I have mine drawn by myself (art student) in this style. Is the style generic or the drawing? same rose, same placement, same words etc

>>14507008
Very nicely done, I like it

>>14507074
both. everyone and their mother has these tattoos. they are the alt-pop version of tattoos currently.

There's nothing wrong w that but i'm an elitist and think they are boring and stupid

>>14507615
>i'm an elitist and think they are boring and stupid
we need more of that on this board anon keep it up

Tattoos have reached peak normie status.
I think in 20 years, a 40-50 year old without tattoos will be more cool than one with.

Tattoos started as counter culture. outsiders of society to brand themselves so. Then hipsters got them because normies didn't. Then normies went out in droves and now they are extremely common. hipsters now dont like them, or are forced to paint their entire bodies in tattoos in some bizarre display that was left only to freaks in the past decades.

We are very close to the point where intentionally not having a Tattoo and displaying minimalism is going to be cool and edy and waht hipsters do while the normies devoured tattoos. It's funny that something that existed to brand out as an OUTSIDER of society is now something used by normies to brand themselves as part of it

>>14507007
Literally the first thing I thought lol

>>14507640

The way I see it, if you aren't willing to spend thousands of dollars and time covering yourself you really shouldn't get tattoos. I think 20 years from now all the people who got 4 or 5 cute/trendy tatttoos and quit will look a lot lamer than those who either didn't stop or never started.

>>14507640
Cope

>>14507615
what kind do you like, tho?

what do you guys think about this? Thinking about getting it on my right side

>>14507008
Good stuff.

>>14507640
I agree with this guy and I'm heavily tattooed. My grandfather was a greaser in the 50's, my father a biker in the 70's it was a white trash family tradition to get tattoos because we all were edgy idiots and "outsiders". Now just going to the store I see that like every other person is tattooed, kids that look like they're in high school with half sleeves and shit and I can't help but think that they're all going to look stupid and have regrets.

https://youtu.be/OhEHB0a7Uyg

As for OPs question my favourite styles are old bikers, legit prison tattoos, real army/sailor tattoos stuff like pic related etc

>>14509392

When white middle glass professionals started getting sleeved it was the ultimate signal tht it has peaked in normiedom

>>14509392
I used to work with a old guy who was in the navy (I think during the 1950's?) And all over both arms he had random pieces of real old sailor/trad flash. Each one with a banner under it but all the banner were blacked out. I asked him one day what the deal was and he told me every time he dated a girl he'd get her name tattooed with a piece of flash to impress them then just black it out when they broke up.

here's a serious question for the thread, because this is the first tatt general I've ever seen with good taste: the iconic clarity of the trad style but not taking it to the point of looking like you're LARPing as a sailor from world war II

post inspo for good masculine delt tattoos if you've got it. something that looks good sitting right on the crown of the shoulder and suits the shape.

my buddy got the perfect delt tattoo and I'm seething. pic UNrelated, this is fucking garbage

>>14509244

This is cool. Praise Jesus.

>>14507008
Damn brother you need to do some curls.

>>14509244
you know I like this enough I might just steal it. would that be weird?

there's no tattoo style in OPs pic, just a bunch of shitty flash tattoo types
shite thread but then again tattoo threads are pretty awful

this is one of my tattoos, made a week ago. i also like the style in your pic op

>>14509434
He turned the St. Benit cross from based to cringe, that tattoo is way too big and tryhard.

>>14509434

I know, this is just off of google. I'm looking for better ideas

name for this style ? just russian prison tattoos or what ?

Should I get this?

>>14506968
>scared I'll be judged
Then why are you on 4chan?

tattoos are for people with an identity crisis, equal to neon haired trannies

everyone on /fa/ tattoos the most vague basic shit because none want to actually fall into a category of people that they'd only be imitating.
I think that's what's wrong with tattoos in general these days, everyone is permanently marking themselves that the only group they belong to is the group of people who have no personality beyond what people perceive of them.

the real issue with tattoos today isn't that "normies" get them, it's that none of them have any meaning (usually) getting something because it looks cool, is just stupid. put some thought behind it and why its going on your body.

>>14509932
this is even more retarded
it's fucking aesthetics man nobody gives a fuck what your tattoos mean as long as they look good

>getting a tatoo
>2019

Ur still using skinny jeans aswell?

>>14509459
i love yours!

>>14509852
black and white traditional...

>>14509876
I don't think so, it looks terrible imo

>>14509932
I actually find it funny that people still think that tattoos should have a deep meaning. I guess this is because most of people are afraid they'll get bored or something, so if they have a "meaning" you will love them forever.
If YOU like them no matter the meaning and you know yourself good enough to make such a decision, you won't regret them. Stupid people get stupid tattoos, tattoo lovers get interesting ones to look at. I don't get why this is such a big deal for most of you. If not now then when? when ure fking 50yo? you have pretty much 30 years (20-50) to live your youth as you please, if you want to get tattoos, fking get them already

>>14510008
also idk about others, but for me they are part of my style, I have loved tattoos since I was a kid, I have the same style for over 8 years, I don't see myself without them.
ofc, Tattoos aren't for everyone just how not everyone wants tits implants or botox. It's just preference, and if you don't like it, then hate all you want, special one

>>14509876
It looks good but your retard if you get tats on your face or hands

>>14507640
Cringe

my company expanded my department and allowed me to hire three subordinates and in one case I decided not to hire someone because she had tattoos and the woman I did hire is a stellar employee, whereas I checked the rejected candidate's instagram to find her a video of her badmouthing my company and smoking weed in what clearly is our parking lot after hours.
So yes, I made the right choice

>>14510386
I'm Dutch and chronically ill so I probably will be okay.
>>14509981
What looks bad about it in your opinion?

>>14509459
this is super gay

In the next 20 years the next several generations will easily be able to identify one of the dumbest generations of ALL TIME.

>>14511126

The design it's just... not it. It's ugly to me, the mounth,the eyebrow, and that nose looks like a flaccid penis.. and that's because you can't do much on such small area.
<<< I'm thinking in getting something like this, I think it fits right

>>14509852
american traditional, amtrad

>>14507640
Then go on and be a cool guy for a couple years a few decades from now, and then watch when the trend turns and tattoos become popular yet again
I will continue doing what makes me feel good

You missed the point. a 40-50 year old withotu tattoos will be cooler and less common in that age group. Not talking about the 20 somethings in 20-40 years time. talking about that one demographic.

>>14511873
tattooed old people are cool now, also you only care if a thing is fashionable or not?

I dont think tattooing has become fashionable, rather the stigma is gone, same thing with faggots and trannies, they is always the same number of them, but they dont hide anymore

>>14511581
I think it looks nice

>>14511951
DUDE LEAFS LMAO

>>14510829
Joke will be on you if any of the ones you did hire have tattoos.

>>14511930
Looked like a thick girl there for a bit

>>14506958
sorry fellas but it feels like tattoos are dull, the hipsters with their compensating beards have ruined tattoos, before only sailors and criminals wore them/punks/ but now every lesbian liberal nazi whatever has them and its not cool. Being untattooed is prob the next thing ngl

>>14511825
Usually it does, just not as much recently. I guess it's the commitment to the aesthetic, it's bold and you need to cover a decent amount of space just to get anything. The current trend on /fa/ is still the scattering of small blackwork pieces that it's been for the last few years, but more prison style and less woodcut lately.

>>14511890
>the stigma is gone

really only when you're a basic with it. Every white girl with 2 dream catchers or some shit are considered whatever but if you started covering a lot of skin and get stuff on the previous no go zones, you're still going to get treated different by young adults. Now you just gotta go for larger scale coverage to be "edgy" about it, but to even care is honestly pathetic.

How's this? I'd like to put in on my sleeve to be part of few different small tats.

>>14512194
But I don't like the tail tho. I will fix it to be more satisfying to my eyes.

>>14511975

>>14512047
>thinking everyone is getting tattoos for other peoples attention
Most of them get it because they like it

Can people at least get tattoos that are unique and interesting? It's so tiresome to see everyone have the same shit. Clocks/hourglasses, skulls, feathers, butterflies, spider webs, Dia de los Muertos women. It's a game of bingo at this point.

>>14511581
I think you wasted a lot of space with that... I like the style, but it's too big, stupidly big really. You should do some more around it, it doesn't look good at all. The tattoo itself it's nice to me, but way too big :)

>>14511549
>single color healthgoth garbage
it's a simple minimal style and it looks good if done right

>>14511549
Tribals r ugly asf to me because they only seem to exist to fill the space, "look at me I have a tat". This other style we're talking about tho, it has some image you can focus and think about. Plus, it's the best choice to get something simple because it will heal and age a lot better.

I love high contrast tattoos so yeah this style with a lot of black suits me.
Stop hating just because you don't like it or you don't have the ballz to do it.

>>14512680
That legit though.

it covers 25% of the forearm max, and due to the placement its not visible most of the time, but thanks for the opinion, if I wanted compliments, I would post it on reddit :)

just retarded, basic and wannabe bad ass.
when will this trend end?

>>14506958
Since you are a trendhopping npc this style will be pretty cringe to you in 10 years once you realize that the fad is over and you want some other thing that you think is good taste by then.

Thanks too I guess, it's quite fun to do them. I love things that are so cliché that it's fun again, like a heart and arrow. I did it to celebrate my recent marriage btw. With a woman.

Added the first letter of her name, she wrote it on my wrist with pen and I traced it

>>14513885
You do realise that this style it's called traditional and it's been around and also considered "cool" for more than 50 years now?

>>14513858
I'm amazed by you people. It's the style that I'm showing you (TRADITIONAL TATTOO STYLE) , not the actual drawing. Ofc it's cringe to get the exact same tattoos as someone else. This "trend" it's more than 50years old.

that's not how weed looks like, retard

>>14514391
what has the fact that the tattoo style is actually old, to do with it being a trend now?
i bet most people knew that allready, doesnt make it less cringe.
every fag out there is now covering his body in those tattoos hes seen in those russian prison tattoo books, you can even see one of those old school tattoo books on this fags table >>14514075

>>14514381
>been around for more than 50 years now
Sure.
>considered "cool" for more than 50 years now
Barely.

>>14514478
I found it a little empty without it. Besides, I was planning the letter from the start so it would be there anyway.

>>14514482
Can't get a divorce
>t. catholic

Also if I could and would, I'd have more pressing issues than lasering/covering a 3cm tattoo that's usually hidden by a wristwatch

>>14515045
You are retarded if you are going to let religious doctrine ruin your life.

lmao tattoos? jesus christ

Get all the edgy shit outta here! Thinking about getting a whole sleeve of cartoon storyboards.

gonna get a hitler tache finger tat lads

>>14515238
If thats a coverup its a damn good one

>>14515238
You know what, I'm usually pretty critical, but I like this a lot.

not edge but I spend a decent bit of time around people who are and dig the style.

>>14507615
I'm also an artist, and I have been thinking about making some tattoos in this style, but with varied subject matter/unique ideas. Do you think its more the style or the subject matter that makes it generic.

I told my artist to make this about as big as a Bic lighter and have since realised it is perfectly exactly as tall as a Bic down to a couple thou

A couple I stalk online bc they're cute.

>>14509440
Gonna try to once I go to uni

>>14515055
It's not ruining my life, it's bettering it. Lack of Christianity is ruining people, hence all the divorcees, depressed people, absentee parents, teenage pregnancies, abortions, shitty child rearing etc. But let's not get off topic.

>>14514812
Sorry but I don't understand one thing... what the fuck is your problem? Really? If people want to cover their bodies in those, how is this affecting you? It's one thing to dislike the style (I don't like it, I THINK it's shit) to actually judge and be a salty bitch. Gtfo frustrated pussie

>>14515405
I asked him the same thing, I don't remember him answering tho

>>14511410
this

>>14515405
Oh that's what he answered

>both. everyone and their mother has these tattoos. they are the alt-pop version of tattoos currently.

There's nothing wrong w that but i'm an elitist and think they are boring and stupid

>>14515368
then maybe you shouldn’t have gotten the words “straight edge” tattooed. retard

>>14515368
what is this "edge" ? some sort of style or what?

As you get older, you realize that tattoo people are so far removed from common sense that you start to ignore them as humans.

>>14516205
straight edge means you don't take any drugs or alcohol as a lifestyle choice and for some reason feel the need to flaunt it to the whole world as some sort of statement. like a vegan but sometimes worse

>>14515982
Why not get something on the upper arms? Your tattoos, spacing and matching are very nice, but the whole picture looks a bit lopsided with blank upper arms

>>14516325
oh sorry, but that is not me in the picture, haha!
I actually have tattos only on my upper right arm for the moment :)

>>14516314
oh wow, I didn't know about that, but I find it kinda... stupid? Especially if you're not one and you tattoo that on your body

>>14507615
>There's nothing wrong w that but i'm an elitist and think they are boring and stupid

>>14509852
the name is trashy nigger tier shit.

>>14510008
Getting a meaningless tattoo wouldnt matter if you didn't have to live with it for the rest of your life. Think about it, why would you get a permanent decoration on anything? It makes no sense? It's exactly as stupid as taking a pen and drawing on yourself. it IS taking a pen and drawing on yourself, but EVEN MORE STUPID because you cant change it.

I challenge everybody who has a tattoo, how is that any different than just drawing on yourself? If you want some decoration, why didn't you just draw on yourself?

The singular aspect of tattoos is their permanence. That is why tattoos not too long ago were used almost exclusively to denote membership to a group. That is the only kind of valid tattoo. Gang tattoo, military, naval, prison, etc.

>>14516498
I can't draw on my self nearly as good as some one else can. Also you assume everyone else has the same attitudes and motivations for getting tatoos as you do which is foolish and small minded.

>>14516498
But the permanence is valuable in different ways. For example, I'm covered in tattoos, and they can't be taken away. Like i could lose absolutely everything including the clothes on my back, but short of being flayed the ink isn't going anywhere. In the same vein, I can never truly be naked again. It sounds like a trivial concept, but psychologically I think it's quite an interesting attitude that tattoos can impart.

>>14516508
Just saying "everyones different maaaan" is normie tier logic and literally worse than just saying nothing.

You can basically justify any stupid fucking behavior with that argument, and sadly people do. Same argument that Japanese bitch who liked to step on rabbits and crush them used. Its a cop out and it makes me sick every time I hear it and its FOOLISH AND SMALL MINDED as fuck.

>>14516511
>I can never truly be naked again
and isnt that basically a huge problem? youre probably an ugly fuck, so it's no loss, but whenever a beautiful person get a tattoo its a shame. Now they're displaying their mediocre drawing instead of *themself*. Oh by the way, you can never lose yourself, you are integrated into the universe and every action you take is un-eraseable, their is no need to further reify yourself in any way.

>>14516512
Oh by the way, I have a more specific reason to hate tattoos.

I dont find them attractive on women. And like 70% of women have them. Now tell me why that isn't a valid reason.

>>14516511
This
Growing old with tattoos does not scare me, growing old without them does
I guess tats have some psychology, people had them troughout history and prehistory

>>14516540
Among the type of girls that I like physically, basically 100% have tattoos.

How is this possible, is it that women are so conformistic that they actually categorize themselves based off their physical appearance? So if any female is pale, thin, and boyish, she just decides "well I match the physical stereotype of a hipster so now i need to get a tattoo of a feather"?

The other day a tall, thin, pale redhead walked by my and I thought "I bet she's a vegan". Turns out I was right. How did I know? My high school gf had the same physical description and was a vegan. A few months later, this girl ended up getting a tattoo at 19 years old, the same age my ex got a tattoo (thereby permanently ruining herself by marking a permanent symbol of anti-motherhood on her body). What they fuck explains this synchronicity?

>>14516550
And now I've touched on the real reason tattoos are trash. When you physically mark yourself it is always symbolic, now you are tied to that symbol. Your personality no longer develops in a natural direction, you are now partially defined by a picture. Sometimes whores have awakening and go become nuns. Pimps can go become celibate monks. The capacity of a person to change is diminished by a tattoo.

Basically any of the females posted in this thread, assuming theyre American, do they vote Democrat or Republican? All Democrat, guaranteed.

>>14512680
This female no longer has the choice to vote Republican, she has physically labelled herself as a Democrat.

People are going to deny this. But people have difficulty breaking away from their mental image of themselves. If you get a tattoo, you are labeling yourself with the mental image you had of yourself at the time you got it (most likely a time when you are feeling insecure and stupid). In other words, you're re-enforcing a shitty mental image of yourself.

>>14513837
There's an interview with him somewhere in which he talks about how tattoos should be edgy and shitty to help impart the rebellious nature of them or something. It's some top tier Fenriz logic, I wish I could find it.
>>14515045
Didn't Leviticus or someone tell you not to get tattooed?
>>14516045
>>14516345
Not that guy but do you mouth breathing idiots think that you can only post pictures of yourself on here? Or do you assume that poster would have gotten a tattoo for a lifestyle he doesn't live? Because maybe, and this is just a hunch, that when he said he liked the style that he was just posting an example?!

>>14516558
dumb poltard

>>14516467
What? Economics literally have almost nothing to do with it. People have been poor and moral, rich and immoral, poor and immoral and rich and immoral throughout history.

>>14516520
That's just different philosophies man, you'll never understand it and neither will I understand you.

>>14516558
It's not necessarily going to be a shitty image, it can be whatever.

The true tragedy is a beautiful woman getting tattoos all over her legs. Or body in general, but legs are what stand out to me as particularly heretical. Such a fucking waste, like spraying graffiti all over a really beautiful building or statue. I understand there are people into that too

TWO QUESTIONS
1. if i get a small tattoo on my arm and later on become /fit/ and gain a lot of muscle will that mess up the proportions of the tattoo?

2. if i get a tattoo on my finger, especially on the inside how long will it last before it fades and rubs away?

>>14516872
Moron, don't get tattoos.

>>14506958
>1. They heal good
the fuck are you talking about
thats up to you it doesnt matter what style of tat it is retard

>>14516872
1) Gains can affect the proportions somewhat, but good placement should mostly negate that.

2)I've had knuckle tattoos for years no issues, once did a small one on my palm just below my thumb and it was completely gone in a couple weeks, no trace at all. Lots of factor go into that so it's hard to say but I wouldn't count on it lasting long.

>>14516885
Mind your business, faggot.

>>14516885
shut the fuck up boomer

>>14516565
>Didn't Leviticus or someone tell you not to get tattooed?

Yeah but that was in the old covenant which only applies to Jews, with Christ’s death and resurrection the new covenant came into being so all the old ritualistic laws like no mixed fabrics, no shellfish, no tattoos no longer applies only moral laws apply such as the Ten Commandments and the other laws

>>14517028
Oh neat, I never really understood the Christian viewpoint on those supposed
/perceived contradictions. Thanks for sharing dude

some tattoo artists I appreciate:

but thats just me. these are a few examples of people who are clearly artists with their own ideas, style, and aesthetic. Even if u asked them to get the normie knife, rose, heart or whatever u can be damn sure they would do something special with it (if they agreed to at all)

>>14517147
You're confused. Its okay, reading comprehension isn't for everyone.

>>14516558
based incel posting

does getting a tattoo really hurt that much? i just want a minimal / small cross on the inside or top of my finger...

>>14512194
a fish skeleton? now say it out loud

>>14517465
I would compare it to a prolonged cat scratch, tolerable but not fun especially the longer it goes on but you get into a zone or mindset that let's you work through it. I sat for 7 hours once with three short breaks, afterwards I felt like I had been out for run mixed with a hangover. That said something small like you're describing wont be bad though a fleshy, fatty area will hurt less than a boney area.

utterly fucking ass. unless you actually got these in prison, this shit looks so careless and ugly. brain dead faggots. I don't care that they got tattoos, and I think individually many of these long good, but why the fuck are they plastered all over with reckless abandon, like a goddamn wall of graffiti
I pity you nu-effay- truly lacking taste

>>14517489
how long will the small tattoo take? an hour? i literally just want 2 lines and i dont want to sit for too long :(

>>14517465
Something that small you won't have time to get used to it the same way you can with a larger tattoo. It's not that bad though, I sat for three days in a row once.

>>14517509
A small tatt can be done in 15 minutes easily.

What are some good nationalist tattoos? Viking style maybe?

Whatever image it is, it is an image of inadequacy. If you felt you were adequate without a tattoo, why did you get one?

>>14517804
Oh you know, for fun.

I'm not a queer normalfag so I don't have tats in 2019. You Zoomers probably vape too.

extremely original, truly next level

>>14518712
lel, i don't have done it exactly for aesthetic, i have done it for the meaning it supports. It just makes sense for me, but i indeed think the lines are good

tattoos are literally the most normie shit ever we never had tattoo threads on old /fa/ years ago

>>14517489
Feels more like a sunburn to me. A cat scratch is worse imo.

Degenerate and low class. Essentially copying a style popularized by gangsters, bikers, blue collar sailors and soldiers, convicts and criminals. It projects a look I don’t want my clients seeing. I’m 40. I do not hire men or women with visible tattoos.

How much should a tattoo like this cost?

I'm not sure if I want it bigger down the middle of my forearm or just off to the side like the pic

>>14517151
>no one gives a shit what people in their 40s look like or think is cool.

I’ll remember that at your next interview.

>>14518719

My objection is purely aesthetic. Tats lock you into a very specific style for life. But styles change. Would not advise.

I love how as soon as a tattoo thread is posted anywhere, there are dozens of people "working in HR" who just come out of the woodwork

>>14518841

And even if larping their point is correct. You will wrongly be judged by your visible tattoos by people in professional and social circumstances. This isn’t probably as important for say an auto mechanic as it is for someone in a high end sales position. But tattoo discrimination is real and should be a point of consideration.

>>14518808
Depends on the shop, most places charge by the hour but small stuff that takes less time is usually charged at a minimum price to offset setup and supply cost. Check some websites or call around your area and ask what their min. Price is. As for placement, just draw it on yourself and see if you like it there, see if it looks funny when it moves or if your arm is bent etc., consider if you'll get more in the future and how it could share space.

>>14518863
They are discriminated for a good reason, only absolute retards get tattoos.

>>14518841
>>14518863
I'm heavily and visibly tattoo and it has absolutely affected me in job interviews, but I know and expect this. It was my decision and I knew that this could happen going in and so should everyone who gets a tattoo.
To say you're being "wrongly" judged is naive though. A company chooses how they want to present and market themselves. Appearances matter, and the stigma exists for a reason.

I didn't know so many people hated tattoos besides my grandma

>>14518923

I’d say disliking tattoos is most common with older people. I’m late 30s and when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s the only people that had tats were military, sailors, criminals and convicts, bikers. So more than half the population is old enough to remember when tats had a very negative stigma.

Definitely in some industries like client facing sales, finance and law. Less so in creative and blue collar fields.

I have a young son. My advice to him would be to avoid visible tattoos. If he is going to be a tradesman have at it. Your traditional, wealthy, corporate business types usually don’t have tattoos.

Tattoos really are a depressing insight into the neuroses and insecurities of the average person. People get childhood cartoons and video game shit because they wish they could go back to the simplicity of childhood, guys get traditionally tough and scary things like skulls and snakes etc because they want to project a scarier more traditionallly masculine image, women get tattoos that try to invoke peaceful self secure emotionally well connotations because they're fucked in the head.... and so on and so forth.

If you picked your tattoo off the wall you are almost certainly devoid of any real creativity or imagination.

If you're going to change your body for the rest of your life at least have a better story than "hurr I liked how it looked"

>>14518923
I don't hate tattoos but most don't look good and indicate a pathetic mentality.

Probably wussed out, the same way you see full torso work with the nipples left uncovered and sleeves where it doesn't go into the underarm. Tender spots are usually avoided.

not him, but it is fascinating how normies without tattoos always ask for menaing in tattoos,
not a single tattooed person (more than 2 tattoos) will ever ask you that

Thanks m8! It's healing nicely too. I'm afraid this one's the one that gets me over the edge to get more though, I'm just so happy with how it turned out.

I barely have any tattoos done with a machine (and not that many tattoos overall), I seriously like the look of SnP as well as the whole /diy/ aspect of it

Tattoos are the most normie thing ever right now.

Kek thanks I guess.. I know it'll probably seem retarded to most but I like it so idk, it just doesn't really feel that wrong

Still thinking about something to go in the middle, any ideas?

>>14519708
you're as retardet as i am in means of stick and pokea and homemade tattoos in general, if it feels right for you thats all that matters anon

and yes i am employed kek

>>14519932
kek, nice. I never had a tattoo as visible as the heart I just did (never really contemplated how much more you see the upper right side of your wrist compared to the underside or other sides) and I'm really liking it. All my wrist tattoos are covered by the watch I usually wear, but I don't wear my watch at home anymore so I can look at it.

Idk, I'm still a bit reluctant to get more visible tattoos, how did you get over that?

>>14507615

I've been considering getting one but haven't fell in love with a design yet. Considered getting coats of arms of my ancestry but realized that could end up being a lot (German and polish eagles and Italian COA)

Itt people that cannot legally get tattoos post pictures sourced from tumblr before they began puberty.

God tier if you’re not LARPing. I’m on a navy base and most dudes (old or young) got some color like that. It has meaning and usually an experience or story related to it. Anything other than that and it’s just lmao

I think you're right, in the future seeing someone with clean skin will be what looks good, I don't have any tattoos.

What makes it hilarious is that unlike all shitty sub cultures and trends that followers adopt, this is one they can't get away from kek.

I didn't know about hipsters not liking them anymore though, did you make that part up?

Too thin, might age badly. But you could get a custom design inspired by that

This kind of retardation leaves me speechless

My tattoo guidelines:

>if it won't look good or won't have meaning to you 20 years from now, don't get it
>no floral tattoos (I'm looking at you, white girls)
>don't plaster yourself with a bunch of individual, random, seemingly unrelated tattoos everywhere and expect it to not look like shit. Case in point these pictures:

>>14506958
>>14512906

>brightly colored tattoos ALWAYS look like shit and age horribly
>tattoos aren't meant for humor, they should be at least partially serious. Having a funny tattoo is like having the same person tell you the same joke every single day, several times a day
>NEVER get a tattoo that is related to your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse. Unless they're dead

Did I miss anything?

>>14521492
I don;t know, small humour tattoos are alright in my book. I plan on having gap fillers that are little mouse like creatures reacting to whatever tattoo they're looking at. Like snapping a picture or reading a little info board.

Include intricate designs, especially with thin lines. All tattoos 'bleed' over time and the sheer number of tattoos that have seemingly been done in entire ignorance of this fact is astonishing. There's this whole meme among grills about 'delicate' small tattoos. It will all be a blob in 10, let alone 20 years. That 'flying row of birds' meme tattoo will be '5 moles in a row', those dandelions will look like cumstains and those 'delicate handwritten font' things will look like someone with parkinsons wrote it with a whiteboard marker. And don't forget intricate mandalas and photorealistic tattoos. People don't seem to realise the skin isn't some kind of marble you can chisel something in and it'll hold the exact same form forever.

There's a reason tattoos used to be simple and bold-lined. I think tattooists are at least partly to blame for it, they should inform customers about this better (of course, if they insist, it's fair game). I don't think many people really fathom how many types of tattoos haven't aged because they only became popular recently. They'll learn it some day.

>>14521849
Techniques and technology have moved on though, ink will hold better now than it did in the past. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I accepted I'm going to enjoy mine before they spread.

>>14509355
Looks like bart simpson

>>14522150
True, ink and machinery have improved, but (too) inticate designs will still become a blob. You say you'll enjoy your tattoos how they look now, which is great, as it shows you know it could happen and have accepted that. There will be a lot of basic people who will be quite discontent when their cursive "Wanderlust" tattoo becomes one solid wobbly line though, that will be hilarious. You can already see it among the first ones to dive into that meme

Gonna get windfish

And rudy on my back next year

>>14521492
>no floral tattoos (I'm looking at you, white girls)
disagree. floral tattoos are fairly timeless and will look good decades from now. Way better than that dolphin tramp stamp from 20 years ago

>brightly colored tattoos ALWAYS look like shit and age horribly
Touchups, breh. I don't have any color work, and I likely wont ever get any, but I have seen it look good on people.

everything else I agree on. Seems common sense tbqh

Definitely something faintly erotic about this guy's work. For me at least.

>>14522933
This, floral tattoos are fine as long as they have bold lines and not too much detail. Bright colours will age like shit and, mind my words, the inks will some day be found poisonous/carcinogenic so adding more and more over the years to counteract horrible ageing will only exacerbate that.

>>14519275
