Csmor510 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm courtney, basically I'm here to see everyone else's style of tattoos and all the respected art around the world. I attached a picture of my tattoo, it's two roses on my foot. I'm looking for honest opinions on what I should have done with it. Color, shading etc? I feel like I'm ready to get it moving and make it more eye catching. Let me know what you think and be honest!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried 512 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not a tattoo artist but yes I think it would look better with color and shading. Was this not suggested to you by your tattooer? Fala 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csmor510 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I actually went in and had it done somewhat randomly. I was the one who suggested just doing the outline and then coming back once I had thought longer and harder about color and shading. Problem is I don't know where to go really from here. Hallowed Grounds in Scarborough maine did it they're great artists. I'm very aware of the fact of this being permanent so I like to take it a step at a time you know what I mean? :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterJ 171 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Someone else around here stopped at the outline to let it marinate for a while. Color makes everything better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltattooing 765 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I vote yellow, brown, and lots of black CultExciter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csmor510 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I vote yellow, brown, and lots of black So here's what I'm thinking, I don't think those colors really suit my personality I want something really vibrant and unrealistic I should have mentioned that. I'm thinking something along this color scheme. - - - Updated - - - Thank you I agree! I had to wait and be patient now the urge is striking so time to get on it while I have extra money to play with Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatB 904 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Blue and purple are great options but bold traditional would look much better (and most likely age significantly better) than that realistic/watercolor/doodoo example you posted.

Joe Shit 74 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You have pretty feet..And I do agree with @CultExciter it needs some leaves to balance it out.but I do think the rose is oddly shaped.I would probably go to another shop like this one...
