im using my time in lockdown to plan my first tattoos.
some questions for you inkedfags;
i know what i want and have designed a few of my ideas on paper, but im not artist, so essentially i still need the tattoo artist to polish up my sketches. how much does this cost? is design included in the price of getting the tattoo?
im quite picky, i doubt the artist with interpret my sketches or capture the aesthetic im going for first time, do artists get pissed off if you keep say 'nah sorry its close but not there, what if we move that part up 5cm and make these lines thicker'? and is this common in the design phase or will i have to pay for the adjustments?
iv sat in on friends getting inked before and they just sorta turn up like 'yeah that looks fine slap it on'. i cant be that casual about something thats gonna be on my body for life hahah its gotta be spot on.
Best advice I can give you is find a tattooer who’s style and vibe of work you are into and give them the green light to have fun with your design. If you can’t find an artist your into then I would suggest not getting tattooed because this day in age there is an artist for every style and if that’s still not going to do it for you then there is pretty well no chance you or the tattooer will have a pleasant experience

Best advice I can give you is.
Tatoos are not cool anymore. If you want to pay for something no one gives a shit about, that's your choice.

Do you only do things that other people give a shit about?

What's the purpose of a tattoo if you're not an attention whore?
You just gonna stand in front of the mirror and be like "yeah, I'm badass"
Everybody has a tattoo these days and 90% regrets
Adam Allen
Because you like how it looks on you? Not everyone is as desperate for attention as you.

You could: Read a classic book. Learn a new skill. Brush up on mathematics. Fix up your home. Take up a relaxing hobby. Practice a musical instrument. but no, OP is a fucking faggot like always. OP is planning how to desecrate his body and look like a former prisoner, which he thinks is cool, but makes him look like an asshole to everyone else. Be sure to come back here after getting your tats, and complain about how you don't have a g/f and can't find a job.

>how much does this cost? is design included in the price of getting the tattoo? its included, i suggest finding a tattoo artist locally you like on Instagram and dming them, ask about their availability then one of two things will happen, theyll offer either a consultation or an appointment
>1) if they offer a consultation at the consultation youll show them your ideas, youll both mutually agree on something and theyll draw it up either then, between the consultation and your appointment, or at your appointment. you will schedule your appointment then go on to... >2) the appointment youll talk about the design, theyll either have it ready or quick draw it up then. adjustments are almost never an extra charge and 90% of artists wont mind changing a few things but they will eventually get annoyed at multiple requests. remember tattoo artists are basically customer service workers, they will be nice and work with you to get your money but will eventually get annoyed and talk shit about you to their co workers behind your back.
also stop saying shit like "inked" it makes you sound like a fruit and no one with alot of tattoos says that shit
Samuel Anderson
statistically women are more attracted to men with tattoo and perceive them as being more virile, healthy, and just generally more manly. (altho they did also consider men with tattoos as making worse long term partners and fathers. so basically they wanna fuck the shit out of you but think it makes you a worse dad. but who wants to be a cuck dad while your wife is cheating on you with a guy with tattoos anyway.)
but besides all that, tattoos can have a lot of meaning behind them
Oliver Stewart
no. makes him look like an asshole to YOU. cos youre bitter about being an incel.
Adrian Jones
That's good and insightful advice. I'll be sure to tell my wife about this post while she's riding my cock tonight.

What a boring opinion

>everyone has tattoos >youll never get a job pick one.
also this would only even begin to be a problem if you got tatted on your hands and face/neck. if youre working a job where it matters if you have tatts youre probably going to be wearing a suit/shirt and tie, so that covers them anyway.

>you got tatted >if you have tatts again, cant recommend enough not saying shit like this. its cringey and artists/people with lots of tattoos make fun of you for saying shit like this
Lucas Turner
i dont really care bro i dont even have TATTS
besides its common talk where im from.
Ayden Bell
do i have "tatts"? neyy, i think youll find i have subdermal pigments m'lady.

>how much does this cost? is design included in the price of getting the tattoo? If you go to a legit studio or speak with a legit artist they will be able to tell you all this. >do artists get pissed off if you keep say 'nah sorry its close but not there, what if we move that part up 5cm and make these lines thicker'? and is this common in the design phase or will i have to pay for the adjustments? You should avoid this by being upfront. If you want combo outlines say so, 99% of tattooing design is done on a tablet now variations take very little time

Don't be afraid to speak up, it's not a haircut, it's forever, if you don't trust the artist don't get the tattoo. Here's some tips, find a local artist that specialises in your chosen format, look on Instagram, do research , have source material to support your ideas. It's not rocket science.
Hudson Hernandez
do what you like dude. just wanted you to know people more experienced with tattoos will judge you for speaking like that. think of it like Yas Forums culture, theres lingo everyone here uses and you can tell when someones been here a while by what they say and how they talk doesnt make too much of a difference to me though what other people think of you im just bored and giving you the advice i got when i started
t. tattoo artist, with a brother and uncle who both do the same shit
Jordan Price
Tattoos have been popular since our ancestors were fucking monkeys and bashing each others brains out with rocks for food you idiot. They'll remain cool and interesting until humanity dies out.
Only advice I can give you is make sure you pay for an expensive artist. The more expensive and popular an artist is, usually the better work they can do. Nothing worse than a cheaper tattoo being a piece of shit on your skin. Pic related
I fucking hate middle eastern NIGGERS idk what you're talking about
Landon Brown
whats on the side of your hand then
Jose Wood
I'm not religious but that tattoo is fucking cool
Eli Jackson
The quality is shit, the faces have no detail. The whole tattoo has no detail. The placement sucks. You've taken someones art and tried to make a personality out of it. I have lots of shit tattoos on my hands and i wouldnt trade places with you for all the love in the world .
Isaac Parker
I got it in dubai. I'm not arabic. But I have tats for each country I've visited. Not religious either. Just think that the last supper is one of humanities greatest arts
I know this is a hurrrrr Americans and tipping thing, but please tip the artist if you’re going to make him draw a hundred design mockups. I tip my dude 50% since I’ve known him for years and we hangout a lot, and his line work is dope as fuck he’s like a homie at this point
Isaac Davis
Divinci would be rolling in his grave >My fkn sides lmao
Guess you can't use numbers either, being arabic and all
Nicholas Baker
It looks good. Not sure what these other anons are on about
Andrew Edwards
Just tell him? Your concerns are pretty understandable, you can just explain to him just like you did when you make your request. If he says yes and then becomes pissed then he can obly blame himself.
