Tyrese Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi all, I will get my first tattoo on my upper arm. Basically I want something, where you cannot see at the first sight what it is. Here is an example of the style I like (the shadows etc.). Looking for something grey with a bit of colours. (I want a koi fish integrated.) Does this style have a specific name? Thanks!!

marley mission Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) so you're looking to get tattooed and the main criteria you're concerned with is that it should have poor readability uh - i call that style 'bad tattoo' Edited September 3, 2016 by marley mission Devious6 and oboogie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJDeepFried Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Mediocre Japanese style. It should be said that good Japanese style tattoos are meant to be bold clear and readable from a distance which is the opposite of this. The problem here is a lack of contrast.

oboogie Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yikes. Do some research. You want it to be readable. Dan and Devious6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otisc Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This is based on Japanese tattoos, and I agree it's not great. Google or Instagram "Irezumi" or "horimono" to see better examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
