Body Ink

[MessierObject]

Tattoos. I have a few myself and have ideas for more (astronomy sleeve, cthulu lifeguard, etc) and love to admire or judge other people's ink. I haven't seen a thread dedicated to tattoos and I need some inspiration for what to get next so here it is. Share your tattoos, sexy tattoos, cool tattoos, ideas for tattoos, or why you don't like tattoos. No real rule, just a theme that I can extort for my own benefit. To get us started:

I like this! I didn't get my first one until last year and I've basically been ready for 17 more ever since. I have tons of ideas for new ones and can't wait for it to feel safer to go into the shop.

Here are a few I've saved for inspiration:

I love the details! I especially like the dot style of the first one, definitely on my wish list. And the Alice in Wonderland is great! One of the ones I just got was Alice inspired.

That's awesome! There's some of that dot detailing on mine and it's my favorite part of it.

I have an Otter tattoo that is the dot style. I love it.

I have a few inspections pics for a tattoo I want. Part of an old world map with a compass and raven. My love of traveling and the use of the raven throughout history in relation.

And this tattoo for my time in Thailand spent with the rescue elephants. Though without the mandalas and walking through a pond of lotus flowers.

I love your tattoo. I also think your compass idea is awesome, just make sure you have seen the artists' prior efforts at circles. That can really screw things up.

I already know who is doing it and he's amazing. Truly talented with a price tag to show it.

Thank you. Im really looking forward to starting on them.

The good ones are definitely pricey but worth it. The girl who did my last two was around $200/hr but specialized in detail/fine line work and had her own studio which made me comfortable getting it done in covid times. She only does one person per day, no one else allowed inside, and lots of sanitizing/safety protocols.

If I can get some decent shots I'll post them up here. It's hard as 2/3 are on my back.

Yes. Same with this guy. His price per hour is up there and prefers all day sessions as he's super detailed.

I understand one is on my lower back and I can't ever get a decent shot of it without doing some contortionist bs. Lol

I’ll revive this thread with a photo of mine. I wanted to start and develop into a half sleeve LOTR & Celt theme tattoo but then life get in the way.

I’m sure there are some people who needs ideas. @Indie

*poof*

Nice!

I'd love to see more ink! Though I'm a wuss and rarely share any of my own on Lit.

I have gotten two new tats in the last two months. Both are hearts. One I drew on my wrist. The second my son drew on my shoulder. That one, the heart is made of my boys initials.
