If you are descended from nobility, don't do it. It's improper and not gentlemanly.
If you aren't descended from nobility, don't do it. Because it's not your family crest, it's just something shitty whacked together by some fucker who sells mugs and plaques to gullible heritagefags.

sacred geometry is a pretty damn cool thing that looks aesthetically nice, and is simultaneously intelligent and mathy, as well as artistic, intellectual/esoteric, and will impress people as more than a formula.

You cant get the water colour effect with tattoos. Even if you do get a talented guy who some how makes it look just like pic, when it fades it will look like a sloppy blob. Also the the water colour effect looks cool on paper, but would only ever work on perfectly even skin.

Tattoo artist here, feel free to ask me anything. I don't usually come here and as all artists and people, I have different tastes and opinions on things.

Right now my fetish is black bold line traditional and big pieces of black/grey realism with stuff like portraits, Roman statues and religious themes, despite how cliche it is.

Not a good spot for that design, plus it's a little too small. I can't see too clearly but it doesn't look like a good job, but if you're happy that's 100% what matters.

>>9172572
Not a fan of that style, but it's done well. Problem is, this wont age well, and whoever has this would need another tattoo undeneath it to complete the area otherwise the positioning is weird, unless he's going for a 3/4 sleeve.

Watercolour is definitely an achievable tattoo. It's an actual style so that anon has no idea. Just go to someone who knows what he's doing and has previously done watercolour.

That said, deers are overplayed as fuck and unoriginal. Find another idea and if you like watercolour, go for it, it's still a good and unique style that's pleasant.

I think that most people would recognize it as some religious/esoteric symbol. But it isn't that 'aggressive' in the first place, so if you like it, just go with it. It's better than some 'cool/artsy pic' just done for the sake of getting a tattoo. Just don't place it on your chest/underarm/hand, don't make it too big and add other tats later. Don't treat it as THE special/meaningful tat, if you understand what I mean.

>> No.9179771

>>9179740
Not all, I guess, but most of us hate or dislike small stupid tattoos that plebs get as their first or only tattoo due to how much it means to them. It just seems childish and/or an obvious disinterest in the real culture and value of having tattoos, and some people just want to be able to say they have a tattoo. We all have tattoos that have meanings behind them and it's good to be able to look at them and know about it, but certain things don't deserve to be on your skin forever, because after all, tattoos are supposed to be aesthetic.

But at the same time, it's not a big deal, these kind of things allow us to make money (not in the overcharging sense, but not everyone wants "real" pieces so these are good) and are very very common. Don't let me turn you off, no tattoo artist is going to start laughing or insulting you after you've gone out the door. I don't even remember or think about the small things I've done.

This is my opinion, I'm not trying to discourage anyone. It's already happened, plebs have ruined tattoo culture and it's become a normie thing. I'd even say that not having a tattoo is becoming rare these days.

Sorry I think I went a little off-topic there.

Small tattoos are cool, it's not all supposed to be huge pieces. I personally like it more when people have a few decent sized ones like >>9179711 that are done well and are all of the same style and theme but still have a lot of skin without ink. I think too much ink is annoying and ruins your body, or if something's too big it just looks like too much. But some things need to be a decent size. For instance, people asking me for sentences in a font smaller that this text your reading make me angry because after not even a year the lines start to spread and you'll end up with a scrible and random lines, which is why a lot of tattoos don't age well.

>> No.9179899

>>9179791
The one thing that keeps me from getting a tattoo is that tattoos have become so meaningless and somehow even boring in general. It's not like every subject has to be justified by a story or something, but having a tattoo is just the same to me as not having a tattoo these days. It's just like some kind of permanent accessory.
And then some tattoos are just ridiculous, like a friend of mine studies geography and got a tattoo with miner symbolism. It's well done and nice looking, but it is an 'accessory' a miner/proletarian (in the good, glorified meaning) would wear and not and academic. It just boils down to some tryhard hipster picture. Hence why I come to the conclusion that tattoos only work for proletarians/trash (including soldiers, inmates and the like) and musicians.
I mean I wouldn't laugh about or be compelled by a nice tattoo and I reckon a well done one, but for me they somehow just don't work anymore.

thanks for the feedback, i'm the guy with the tat below the knee

I've thought this way for quite a while now too, especially since I started working in a tattoo shop in a busy area and it really opened my eyes.

Like I said, all these tattoos nowadays are accessories. You can instantly spot someone who knows their shit and genuinely loves tattoo a mile away. Just because someone has two sleeves and full chest or whatever doesn't mean they're experts or true lovers of it. I know a lot of tattoo artists and regular people with little to no tattoos, but they seriously know their shit and are either more interested in the culture and doing tattoos then having them, or they only get really good expensive pieces done when the time is right, or like myself, they like a more minimalist approach to it (i.e not being covered for the sake of it, just having a few decent pieces all over, like I mentioned above).

I also have an issue with normalfags and degenerates going wild for tattoos, but I realised I shouldn't care about them and just care about whether I like them or not, which I do.


At the end of the day, most people I've met including artists, don't put that much thought into it, nowhere near as much as I do. I respect people who are confident about what they want and they do it with no regrets. Sometimes it's just not worth thinking about since our time here is so meaningless and we're not gods, just another grain of sand in a desert of time in a seemingly random and pointless universe.

Despite my profession and my numerous tattoos, I hope tattoo removal develops nicely in the next few decades. I would honestly like to have a chance to start over or get rid of them if I ever lose interest.

I have leg tattoos. I understand what you mean about them looking weird. If I could I'd maybe get rid of mine, since my first ones were on my leg and they're not good. Some days I really like them, other days I don't at all.

But overall I just think there are some people who aren't made for tattoos. Also, I generally tend to go for girls without tattoos instead of girls with tattoos. In most cases it ruins their bodies (if they have a nice body). Other times it totally helps them and makes my dick hard, or they just actually look good with tattoos.

I know I come across as a weird anti-tattoo or pesimist artist, but with the way tattoos have grown in the last decade and seeing so many bad tattoos, it's made me change my mindset.

You sound like a massive asshole. Tattoos aren't some super special sacred rite that people need to know "real tattoo culture" to fully understand.

Pic related is one of my favorite pieces from him. Even if it's unfinished still

thinking heavily about getting this tattoo in a month or so, and before anyone yells at me, i've been a Neutral Milk Hotel fan way before they became a meme on /mu/

what do you guys think? y/n

If you like it, go for it. Could do an interesting black and grey thing with thin lines or pointilism. Saw them about a month back, great guys

Working on an occult/immortality theme for my tattoos. Already have an ankh (left upper arm), was planning on getting the Sigil of the Gateway on my left pectoral next. After will be an ouroboros (though something a bit more complex than our chemist friend earlier in the thread) and the alchemical symbol for gold, though not sure yet where I'll be placing them.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Stop while I'm ahead?

Careful with that edge.. I went to jail with a guy from the East Coast who did Prison time; he told me this story about how some edgelord hipster got a tattoo for more edges.. Little did the edge faggot know that his tattoo represented he committed a sex crime in Russian Prison Tattoo-Lore... Well I don't have go into detail about how 4 Slavs doing time for attempted murder shit pushed so hard that it put him in a wheelchair... Careful with those edges..

Thoughts on koi fish tattoos? I'm considering getting one across my upper arm and chest. Do you have to be Asian to pull it off? And can anybody give me an estimate on the price?

>> No.9194448

>>9194434
No, you don't have to be Asian to pull it off. A price estimate is difficult to give, because it greatly depends on who you go to. My tattoo artist in Canada would probably charge about $2000 for the complete thing. But once again, that is a very rough estimate.

Thats what the original posters said it was/believed it to be. I do find it a bit odd how in the internet age a person could get such an incorrect tattoo.
