Tyrese 0 Report post 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 2,030 Report post 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 2 oboogie and Devious6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJDeepFried 510 Report post 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.

otisc 276 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
