I'm a little nervous to post because I haven't shown anyone yet, but I really like it. No regrets Coyote (Crossed posted on Pixelfed and Mastadon)

Should I find a specific artist to do this and what type of work would they need to specialize in? (what words do I need to use to find this person)

I'd want it to be relatively large but I am not yet sure where I'd want it.

Here's a few fractals I am interested in to give you an idea

  • Mandelbrot set

  • Sierpinski carpet

  • fractal tree

  • Sierpinski triangle

  • Ikeda map attractor

Some if these are obviously harder than others but I am primarily asking about the sections of the mandelbrot set

Feel free to send me fractals you like as well, especially if they are scientifically or historically significant in some way you like

Hi there. Wondering if anyone can tell if my tattoo is ready for a touch up. This is my first. The artist expected I would want a touch up, due to the difficultly of the gold color. Am I ready to get a touch up?

The artwork is a badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I used a real magnetic badge made by Fansets as my reference.

ADDITIONAL PHOTO: For better clarity here is an additional photo in sunlight. I have just applied lotion within the last half hour this was taken.

This is on my calf. I'm excited to have one that I can actually see without having to contort myself in front of a mirror, and I can show off to people without getting half undressed

The eye is a little fucked up but I'm getting it fixed once it all heals.

This dude on Mastodon tried to convince me that the stencil for this tattoo went on while he was standing. Nah, dawg. That didn't happen. 🤣

Ive done 5-10 different tries on the generator but they all just come out super weird. I am also very new to this. Any tips will be highly appreciated.

I feel like this picture is a bit too much, and i guess I want their faces to be more "cartoony" as many real-face tattoos aren't getting all that great. I think this picture is iconic and I want it to also look like the iconic picture it is. Honestly I cant even picture what I want, but as said above all tips/tricks and help will be taken gladly. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what you would call this style?

I'm looking for recommendations for a Polynesian tattoo artist here in Houston. A couple options I've found are:

Given Houston's population diversity, I'm surprised I'm not having more luck finding an actual Polynesian artist.

Sup pals!

I just started getting my arm tattooed and wanted to share. This was done about 11 days ago at Blacklist (https://www.blacklisttattoo.com/tobias-mcmillin-1) here in Portland, OR, USA. It took about 2 hours. Can't wait til it's healed, lol. This is one itchy crow! But it sure is cool 😎 and makes me feel pretty tuff.

Have a good one!

I have an idea for a tattoo I'd like to get for my cat when she goes to the rainbow bridge but I'm not sure how to best execute it. I have two tattoos but both of them are simple symbols so this is one is going to be more involved. I would just like to have the idea more formulated before finding the right artist.

Did over two 2.5-3hr sittings. Wanted to finish it up the first day but it was 11pm and we were getting tired.

From my flash sheet last month. I do a lot of drawing as part of my apprenticeship, but pre-made designs don't sell very well here. I'm glad she took this one though - it turned out cute.
