Tattoos

Did a walk-in tonight and I picked the most beautiful of them all

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

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!

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

I originally was going to get just the "Progress, not Perfection" done (a hard lesson that I'm still learning), and I had it in the back of my head that my second tattoo would be something to go along side it, and I'd wait for the third one before getting something gaming-related. And I pretty much knew it would be Hollow Knight when it happened.

Then, while thinking about it before the appointment, it occurred to me that The Knight would work perfectly next to the lettering. Metroidvanias, by design, necessitate doing the work to find the progression items to move on. You're not expected to do everything right away. (And, story wise, the pursuit of perfection has it's own consequences.) It worked too well, and I'm glad the artist was able to modify what we originally discussed.

Do you know any tattoo artists who are active on the fediverse?

Hi!

I’m just wondering how you guys find your artists. Do you have one artist that does all your tats, or are you a bit of a walking catalog for various artists?

The reason I’m asking is that I currently use instagram to find and keep track of artists, but I really don’t like the app all that much. Googling local shops also doesn’t always give me good results.

If you know of any good alternative methods other than wandering around a city and walking into random shops, let me know! :)

This is a scar cover up I had done recently.

Went all out on my first tattoo! Done by insta: @Connorcade. Total time ~25 hrs. Still need to go back in for some touch-ups.

Artwork based on Old School Runescape.

First and only so far, needs a touch up as its been a while.
