"ma new tat"

I have no idea what it is supposed to say, but the girl is half Maori so I assume it is Maori related. The tattoo seems to suit her as she has 3 kids to 3 different guys, and her current man looks like a wife beater.

edit: Oh it's her next babies name, of course.

I see nothing likeable about it whatsoever and I think it looks plain ridiculous. I find it tasteless and poorly done, in my opinion it looks like a doodle from a highschooler's sketchbook. I admit I have high standards when it comes to visual art, especially tattooing since those last a lifetime. I just don't understand why people settle for mediocrity or worse.

I'm going to post more of his work just because.

I don't understand why someone whose art is mediocre at best thinks tattooing people is a good idea.

I did. But it's a pretty lovely design anyhow.

I don't know how much good I can do, though. I really know nothing of the shops in her area aside from looking at online portfolios, which she can do herself, and most people with tattoos do not like advice from people without tattoos about where to get their tattoos.

Your profile mentions Auburn University, and if Albany, GA isn't too far for that person, the Goon Tattoo thread recommends All Or Nothing Tattoo.

I'm not in Auburn anymore. I guess I need an update. Both she and I currently reside in VA. She lives near Richmond so I tried to find some shops there that had pretty decent looking portfolios online and told her not to just walk in asking for ink, but to talk to the artist(s) and get a feel for things in person before getting anything permanent.

But then she said she wants it on her neck, so I may just be talking to a wall here.

I know you know that thread (you've posted in it), so I guess if anything, ask in there.

I just don't see the point of letting people go ignorant and therefore get a lovely tattoo. I mean, if she goes and gets it done in some lovely cheap rear end shop, then post in here. But if it's just "haha I let my friend get a lovely tattoo when I could had intervened"...

No. This is where I live. I went to Tennessee and Auburn. For the record, I wish I had a TrapperKeeper with that owl on it...the best thing I have ever seen come from Skin Thrills.

I'd recommend Skin Thrills, but I don't know if she'd be willing to make the ~3 hour drive. I did recommend the one in VABeach....that's just a little under 2 hours away for her. I know I would make the drive for something permanent but I don't know about others.

edit: Is that supposed to be scratch marks? Because Slim Killington is right about the bacon....

First off, as a baseball fan, I don't even get this one.

As a cubs fan living in St. Louis I think I have a plausible explanation for this one. St. Louisians hate cubs fans with a passion. I think this cub fan went to a tattoo shop and got this tattoo by a cards fan. Cardinal fan tattoo artist took an opportunity to put "Go Cards" in the Cubs logo and take a pic. Most likely finished filling in the C with red after the pic so the "Go Cards" got covered up.

Reasons why one should never get a portrait tattoo. Also, the old adage is true: Good ink isn't cheap, cheap ink ain't good.

Not really, the "carpe" part is still all wrong and the "God" part wouldn't be in the right declension.

This isn't really bad overall, part of me kind of likes it, but the placement strikes me as ultra-awkward. Like, off center (if there is a center) and unbalanced. I'm a symmetry whore, though. I wish I could see the other one.
