  1. Yep I appreciate that view, all tattoos get old but quality is something that lasts. Id say the person with that tribal just like the guy below who got this one wishes he hadn't. Problem was tribal attracted a lot of newbies who didn't know what they were doing and just asked the artist for something tribal, I did the same. Since then I move on to much better pieces that im proud off...…. Dan … thanks for the advice. But I got my artist now who actually attends a lot of tattoo conventions around Ireland and the UK. He specialises in Japanese and neo Trad. Life is about learning and mistakes get made, but its all about not giving up......
  2. Dan , yes you are entitled to your opinion. I think you let the mask slip Calling it outdated trendy crap. Your always going to have a negative view on this style. Its far from a mess, I think it's quite pleasing on the eye but like as you said we all have our opinions.
  3. Once again just to further my point on the above. What we have here is a tribal freehand custom tattoo. It has made its way on to this topic of worst tattoos due to someone disliking the style .... It has however been executed professionally. I find that irritating, we all have our own personal tastes, I for example hate American traditional, even though I think they look like jail house convict tattoos if one was done well I wouldn't describe it as shit. Tattoo snobbery is low class. Tribal gets a bad rep but people fail to realise that 20 years ago they were bad ass. Guys, your cool tatts that you have today are going to look shite in 20 years time. Just like this tribal they all have an expiry date were they become outdated, and you'll have guys twenty years younger shaking their heads and smirking at your crap work (in their opinion). But if the tattoo is done well then it will be their just their cocky young minds getting the best of them. Peace out....but hey it's only skin at the end of the day.
  4. To be honest I cant see the problem with this one. The work looks clean and the lines are good. In fact I like it. I generally like colour and dislike sad looking black and grey work anyhow,. Ive seen some shocking black tribal ten times worse than this one. A bad tattoo is one which has been done badly, this actually looks like it turned out how the client expected. However if we are talking about personal taste then there's some tattoo snobbery going on here. This tattoo I would say was done in the 90''s early noughties and high chance it was bad ass at the time (20years ago) The anti tribal brigade came out in force after that period because artists got bloody tired of doing them. Personally its wrong to criticise a tattoo that's done well. Not everyone wants a 3D skull with a dagger through its forehead.
