pretty cool ngl

>>17230666
where is this from?

>>17231111
>Milada Marešová
>Binding illustration for Milan Húževka, Psí knieža, 1977

the title of the book is Psí knieža and a rough english translation from the first link I found was

"However, the dog prince survived the ages. Not long ago, someone allegedly saw him in the mountains of Strážov. He was standing under a rock cross-legged and holding straps in his hands, to which an angry pack of dogs was tied..."

Finally, a fucking tattoo thread where the tattoos aren't cringe

>Finally, a fucking tattoo thread where the tattoos aren't cringe
Too many people like to emulate popular design/stylistic choices (mostly the latter) they see on others because they're lazy and uninspired

>find an art style you like
>find an artist who specializes in said style
>at best, have custom work made that is truly unique and work with the artist to the desired outcome
>at worst, take designs you like and have the artist modify them to fit aforementioned style
either option is infinitely better than the majority of people who just slap on something trendy from a flash sheet or instagram, and a good artist should always be able to accommodate either of the above. If they can't, run, don't walk, away from the shop. They aren't making $100-$250+/hr to sit there and ctrlc+ctrlv your IG feed onto your body, and most [good artists] hate doing that anyway.

while I'm at it, may as well list other red flags for artists
>"Can't do line work that fine" = I'm an untalented hack
similarly to that one,
>"fine lines like that will blur quickly" or "shading that way will blend together" = I don't know how to fill out the space properly, my linework is shit, and if I don't have an exact 1 to 1 stencil to trace I'm lost
>"that design isn't really good for tattooing" = I can't adapt work, or I'm too lazy to, and due to my being a retard or being flat out lazy I will not do something that's expected of me
probably more im forgetting off the top of my head

How do you guys find tattoo artists? I'm completely new to this and reading up on care but I've been thinking about it for a while and I'd like to get some ink. Problem is most of the artists I'm interested in are based in Europe and mostly do bookings there, and if they're ever in America, it's in NYC.

>>17231491
while i harped on finding designs through IG here >>17231438 it can be a useful spot to find artists and portfolios all in one place. If using IG to find an artist some tips for checking out their photos/portfolio would be
>look to see if they post healed pictures, not just those taken immediately after a session is finished
>talk with them a bit to see if they fit the criteria mentioned >>17231438
>don't do deposits ahead of time via IG if you are unfamiliar with the artist
keep in mind pretty much all artists will ask for a deposit ahead of time so you may not be able to avoid this, but try to see if you can go into the shop to put the deposit down if it's your first time seeing an artist so you don't get scammed, or verify legitimacy with someone you know
>approach the artist with your design idea(s) and see how accommodating they are, if they feel that they're capable, etc.
>ask what the hourly rate is
most people ask what a single tattoo will cost. Most artists will say they can't tell you because it's based on time, size, placement, etc. This is largely true, so just ask for their hourly rate. Some larger business-centric shops (generally avoid these imo, unless they house one exceptional artist you really like) dictate prices more strictly for their artists and you'll pay more for what's generally not as good as you'd find at a smaller, more specialized shop.

>>17231491
>>17231529
Oh and keep in mind one pretty much golden rule; if you don't feel comfortable with an artist for any reason, walk away. It should never be a hassle to reposition a stencil, modify a design, or accommodate reasonable requests. Ultimately it's going on your body for life, if the artist throws a fit about that or seems annoyed, they shouldn't have your business.

My go-to artist is actually diagnosed fucking autistic so ymmv but I've had sessions where she spends 1-2 hours (literally) just repositioning the stencil so things are aligned perfectly. Never charges more for it, but I always tip as an appreciation for the extra effort.

Oh, and on that note, don't get stuck going to just one artist. If you like something you see from someone else, try them out. I get ~70% of my work from one person due to stylistic choices and I know how that artist works, what they're capable of, their process, etc. but the rest are from "window shopping" other artists with unique art that I enjoy

bookplats are fantastic tattoo inspo, emphasis on single width linearity make for great compositions.

>>17231438
Ah yep, based

Ive been thinking bout using this as a starting template for my chest or back, remove kanye and the 2 angels, remove the background...basically have the 3 U shaped greek pillars with the center one being repeated inside itself(if that is even possible to do tastefully).
Leave the center U clear/filled with light, use the left or right ones for symbols/meanings and smaller drawings.
Also the lightwork in the shot is glorious and Id like to imitate that... whats the best way to sketch a piece for a tatoo artist? I onky know how to draw pen/paper is tgat good enough or should I use photoshop?

>>17231395
The only one that's not cringe is >>17230666

>>17232019
first based tattoo in this thread

>>17232019
would you?

>>17233303
>>17232026
Never stick your dick in crazy

>>17231947
Gonna look like shit as a tattoo, your body don't have any straight lines.

>>17232019

Imagine being 80 years old, and having a cartoon character from a little girl's show on display like this. Pathetic.

>>17233303
the pony ? yes

>>17230656
>>17230666
>>17231947
all based

I'm thinking of getting this (just the seppuku girl) but I'm not sure if it's cringe. I'm in the middle of cleaning it up because I'm too autistic to ask the artist to do it

>Diablo, when your Paladin retires and becomes an artist, putting away their armor and weapons because they destroyed all the evil in the world, but for got to kill that one last low level reanimated skeleton in some cave some where, and the skeleton waits until your Paladin is old and has lost its ability to sense evil, to sneak up on them and strike them with a club.

Not bad, kid.

Not bad at all.

>>17233371
What about just the middle U, with the repeated pillars and the light play? Wouldnt that work on the back or chest/pec?

>>17230656
cringe, tats were and always will be trash

welcome to the filter list

>>17233823
>I'm not sure if it's cringe
Mostly up to personal taste desu. While not cringe I dislike color work myself so it's not my style but this also depends on who you are and if it fits you as a person, which is one unique aspect to tattooing

If you're a 350lb white male in his 30s it might be cringe, is what im getting at

Some of you rich fucks buy and upload this already

>>17235052
its on libgen and other sites, at least one/the original volume

Nice thread

Nice thread :(

>>17235032
that mishima one is great

Any tattoo related to psychological pain?

>>17235197
That’s a cool design but ultimately a poorly lined tattoo

>>17235192
nice linework, whats this from?

These are nice, is this the same link you posted above requesting? I didn't realize the one on libgen was a different author/series

>>17235192
>>17235355
very similar to an artist I go to regularly (not my work in pic)

>>17235238

Projecting much?

>>17236595
i'm sure this will look good in 6 months...oh wait it won't

>>17238501
>doesn't defend that these look like doodles

>>17238524
And what if someone wanted their tattoo to "look like a doodle"? Would that really bother you that fucking much? Lmao. Why should anyone care what you think?

You're probably a LARPing churchboy rightoid who is against any tattoos in the first place.

NEET tats

>>17230656
Tattoos aren't /fa/. Fuck off with your cancer promotion.

>>17238058
Best one

You all look like pic related.

I'm getting this later. Will be either full color or just black/white and have an outline.

Got this done last month

*clears throat*
Ahem
Tattoos are gay
*leaves*

>>17241600

>>17236595
yeah that's gonna look like ass in 2 years. maybe even less

>>17241600

anyone have experience getting tattoos on scarred but healed tissue?
I had mole removal on my chest but even 2 years later the scars are visible and ugly as fuck, thought about getting a tattoo to cover them up but unsure if its even possible

>>17235052
>>17235143
>>17235145
If you openly show those in any eastern european community you will most likely get severly beaten, and even moreso if you are not slavic. It would be like openly walking around hong kong with triad tattoos, or east LA with ms13 tatoos. You're inviting actual criminals and killers to test you. So if you live in LA or NY or any other area with Armenian or Russian mafia I'd recommend staying away

>>17243150
it is doable, I have scars from the same procedure and it covers them just fine, you just have a little bit more "sheen" to the tattoo initially before it settles

i want tattoos that will trigger ppl

>>17241600

put this on your body

>>17235197
Hey that's mine /fa/ggot

Funking didn't attach the image, did I.
>>17235219
Yeah he kinda fucked up the straight lines. He did a lot better on everything else that wasn't straight
>maybe it was him
>maybe it was me flinching from how swollen and painful it was after 5 hours

>>17244060
Gonna get this on my forearm below in the coming weeks.
>this is my phone doodle to show him what I want. He's currently sketching it out

>>17243354
You could go full blown "hate symbols" to piss off a vast majority.
You could get naked women. Most guys or strangers will go "ayyyyy" if you show it to them. Although you'll piss off your granny and that one female cousin who hasn't had a boyfriend in 10 years because "she's pursing her career"
>and she may/may not have been sexually assaulted because she decided to go out with a black guy from the hood

And any tattoo in general will pass off old people in the street
>but they'll be passed off anyway because you're A lot younger and full of life then them. And they know they'll be died in less than 10 years

>>17242574
It looks like ass today.

>>17243272
thats good to know because right now my chest looks like someone put out cigarettes with it
