Every single tattoo you posted is at least "good" if not very well done. You really don't need to understan subject matter or agree with the aesthetic, but all of them are at least moderately good, and a few of them are loving amazing (I'm looking at the sweets with the worms specifically).

I can't tell if the girl's is actually a tattoo or not.

It is and it's a really hosed up story. That girl is actually a pretty "nice" girl but hung out with the wrong crowd or whatever. Her boyfriend was in MS-18 (a really popular/notorious gang also known as the 18th street gang) and he knocked her up. She was a dumb kid so she said she got the 18 on her face to show she was down for his cause (with tons of pressure from him, for sure.) I forget where I saw them, it might have even been on a documentary about street gangs or MS-18 in particular.

I really like this idea but the execution is not the greatest

The fat rolls add a certain texture I really like though, which is weird. It's a great-awful tattoo.

A rapper built on memes and his 150 youtube accounts with over 500 videos, and that's not the rapper's tattoo.

I went looking blackwork embroidery patterns and found that blackwork also refers to a kind of tattooing. Huh.
Most of it is lovely work but this is just really...black. I suppose that's what they're going for?


My favorite tend to be blackarm. (It looks exactly how it sounds. I think there is a goon who has something along those lines, not ENTIRELY black but 90% black with white space to provide details. It was an anime or manga art eyeball house.

Scarification over black tattoo. Freakin' horrific.


I'm pretty sure this is the most disturbing image I've seen on the forums, and I've been here since giantmidget was making the pain series. (I think it was him, I forget; I'm old.)

"Artistic" in the same way as perfectly trimming fat from a steak?

No, artistic in that it's REALLY close (even in technique and tools) to carving a wood block or rubber stamp for printmaking.

Good god, someone tell her about the magic of clearasil. It's cheaper than even that tattoo and would actually improve her appearance.

Not entirely bad:

There is NOTHING wrong with this tattoo. It's stylized, not bad. It might not be your aesthetic, but It's well done, albeit a few years old from the looks of it. It looks like there was a bit of scabbing too that could use touching up.

This should be a really cool tattoo but the forehead and hair just kills it for me. Also, why did the artist decide to draw the cleavage? I love boobs but it just looks out of place.

That tattoo is great. it's on a non-flat surface, and her arm is raised, of course it's going to warp a bit. Look at those eyes, they're gorgeous. Big tits aside, that tattoo is loving great and if I met that girl I'd have to at least talk to her.

I had 1/2 inch gauged ears about 11 years ago and they have healed up to small scars now. Now it is not much bigger than a regular earring hole.

I had 5/8" in my ears for a while and took them out almost two years ago. They aren't huge but they drive me insane. I can't wait to have them fixed.

I had 1/2 inch in the nineties and they closed up great. With proper stretching and care they healed right up to regular earring size now. Just a small scar left, no different than when regular earrings come out.

Yeah I refuse to believe this isn't pen and neosporin or something.

I was a tattoo artist apprentice for a few months and the first thing I tattooed was a hunk of pig skin. It looked kinda like that, only a picture of a small beetle. It's pretty hard to get the speed of everything down well. I just didn't do it on my loving thigh. The only thing that makes me doubt that is there isn't much irritation/redness, because it was hard to not go too hard or too light at times.

Luckily it seems your apprenticeship didn't work out.

I have horrible taste. I finally quit when I realized what I think is "cool" and other people think is "cool" are very, very different. I am a solid artist, love that it's part of my life and I'm glad I found where I fit in the market, and tattooing sure as gently caress isn't it.

Enough derail.

They're amazing, but possibly ruined by the XXX that I think might be a straightedge tattoo.

Those are tattooed stitches over a scar.
