Check out the galleries and look at some good tattoos in there.

You would probably get more response without the attitude. That's an honest opinion.
And no I don't like them. Too generic.

No I do not.
I also don't understand what you are trying to get at with this thread.

Those are fucking terrible.

He is asking because you posted a bunch of garbage tattoos and asked if we like them. You know they are hideous, a five year old knows they are awful. The you ask if we like them, when you know we wont, so why bother.

Ah what, the hell, I'll give this a try this month. This was done by Thomas Hooper in five sessions between October 2012 and June 2013, mostly at Saved but with one session at the Rochester Convention:

Something a bit different to the tattoos you usually see on here. I know you guys love the Traditional stuff, but I like too many different styles to stick to just one :)

Tattoo by Remis Cizauskas who works out of Dublin Ireland, but is currently "On The Road" guest spotting and attending conventions worldwide.

What the heck.
I know many of you have already seen this. Anyway, it's almost healed and was done by Papa Joe Dawson.

This monster of a kirin is a oneshot from Marius Meyer.

I remember reading a comment once on here, someone stated 'Tattoos are too good for some people'. Fits perfectly for this guy.

Can you just go? You refuse to get your head out of the sand, you don't want help, you want smiles and gold stars.
Fuck it. Your original tattoo sucks, you're going to make it worse by going to the ocean, and now you want us to help you find some kind of stock photo to help you get a new sick tat from the same shitty artist who did your last one.
You don't want help, you want a pat on the back and a tattoo idea spoon fed to you.

Usually I try to follow the artist's recommendations on aftercare, but a little FYI, I actually dry-heal all of my tattoos. It may suck a bit but really they have all healed fine. Your mileage may vary.

If you want art, go to your tattooer and have him design something for you. If you want a sick tat, just keep on keeping on I guess.

Am I the only one who cringes when someone uses the word tat?

It doesn't bother me at all. I was trying to give you a little advice. You don't have to take it. If you want to be the "sick tat bro guy" fine with me. If your good with wearing bad tattoos that's fine with me too. Some folks don't care about quality, they want to be a cool guy with "tats" and that's fine, but that's not what this place is about.
I can tell you that if you contacted a lot of the folks here's artists, they would be done talking to you once the word tat crossed your lips. Top level tattooers have all of the work they can handle, and they can pick and choose their clients. If you want top level work you need to respect the art and the artists.

And also "tatted up" or "sleeved up". I also heard "I want to get proper sleevified" once. I swear to god.

It was worse for me before I watched the Oliver Peck interview (he uses 'tat' repeatedly). I find 'get some ink' and 'canvas' to be more cringeworthy.

Anyone who would discount the quality of Garver's work because he was on tv is not worth the time to listen to their opinion.
As for me I will only be tattooed by one person in my life and that person is Kore Flatmo. He is the only person that has tattooed me and to say I couldn't be happier would be an understatement. Great work, even better person.

There is an irony in people thinking you are a "broke low life" because of your tattoos, due to that fact that people with nice tattoos are usually spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars to get tattooed, but this isn't understood by the general public.
In terms of the majority of my friends and people I know with tattoos they live a life where they work hard and have the means to pay bills, provide for a family, put food on the table, then are able to afford the luxury of getting tattooed.
Obviously there are exceptions to this view point, but it is especially true in the case of the people on this site that are paying top dollar to travel and get work done by world class tattooers. This is something that a good amount of people who are judging you wouldn't be able to afford, but people are ignorant and refuse to take the time to educate themselves.

here is a better example:

Good tattoos are designed by people and made by people.
