I can't tell which is worse!



I can't tell which tattoo is worse! Is it this unicorn with a broken/ jello neck?



... or these little scratchy buddies? They are both so bad!

Cowboygirl up!



This gem was submitted by a reader. It's actually not that bad... technically it's good, and I get the funny "cowboy up" twist on phrasing. The floating hat is a little weird, but I've seen a million worse tattoos. It did get me into searching for some cowboy tattoos though, and look what I found!



Same artist or inspiration? I kind of like it...

However, there are some truly terrible cowboy tattoos out there, which I am happy to share with you.


I love his tiny feet! They're so dainty!


This poor cowboy only has one foot.


And this is from the anime series Cowboy Bebop, so it's a different kind of cowboy... but it's so terrible I had to share.

Eye know you got a bad tattoo



This gem was sent to me by a reader. Thanks! I love the "painterly" style.




If anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know!





And this one... yeesh! It has everything! Spraypaint, tears, a rose, eyes... I wonder what the sad story behind it is.

036



Date: July 25, 2009
Tattoo: Custom design, cute notes singing, one smiling

Was FUN. I want to color more. Filling in with color completely, rather than leave any skin tone, makes it SO much better.

030


Date: July 8th, 2009

Was taken just a week ago. 2 weeks after the date above (the day I actually did it). Will retake picture once healed and I go back over some spots to darken. Hopefully I'll have my replacement camera by then.

Unfortunately, will always be the tattoo that marked the day I got robbed of so much artwork. Que sera sera. Moving on....

Foot Tattoos: Hibiscus and Turtle Tattoo

Foot tattoo of a beautiful hibiscus flower and Hawaiian honu turtle. The turtle is colored heavily in black ink creating a great tribal look while the hibiscus is tattooed and shaded with a pink tone that brings good contrast to the overall design. Nice tat!

Tattoo Sleeves

Awesome tattoo sleeves high quality work, very detailed design overall.
Tattoo Sleeves
"Tattoo Sleeves" Tattoo, originally uploaded by skeletonandkey.
The one on the left side (my right arm) is Christy Brooker at Artcore Studios in Seattle, Washington. Christy completed this sleeve at the beginning of December 2008, almost exactly one year since she had started. As you can tell in this photo, it all looks very new and I still have some Burt's Bees Hand Salve on it.

The one on the right side (my left arm) is Victor Policheri from when he was working at Apocalypse Tattoo in Seattle, Washington. We started it in, I want to say the end of 2004 or maybe early 2005, and completed it 2 years later.

Tiger Lily Tattoo

Flower tattoos for the most part are commonly preferred mostly by women, they are one of the most popular designs among tattoos. There are a wide array of flower designs to choose from ranging from the common rose tattoos, the hibiscus flower a Hawaiian traditional design and many others including the "lily flowers". A tiger lily flower tattoo as the one pictured below can be a great design to choose for a flower tattoo. It is a flower that can be loved purely for its beauty and attractiveness. It has gorgeous flower petals with a beautiful assortment of exotic colors, many people particularly women simply can't stop admiring its charm and appealingness.
What does a lily symbolize?

Some meanings that represent the the lily flower include purity, majesty, innocence, wealth and pride.Those that reflect the meaning of the tiger lily flower could be pride or prosperity and the words "I dare you to love me" can also be attached to the meaning of the tiger lily.

This is my submission for Project 365: Week Thirteen - Yellow.

I got this tattoo on my upper arm and shoulder in spring 2005. It depicts a tiger lily flanked by two roses with faces inside. The design is loosely inspired by the living garden scene in Through the Looking Glass.

015 | finished



Date: 6/27/09
Tattoo: $100 US bills coming out from a slit in his arm (custom drawn based on a design from his friend)
Needle: 9m
Wip

I believe I fixed the shading up better. But again, will see for sure when it heals.

029


Date: 6/26/09
Tattoo: B*A*S (scripted by his friend)

028


Date: 6/24/09 (line work) 6/25/09 (shade)
Tattoo: Custom evil and sad clown masks.

I did the line work the day before. When he came in the next day, it looked weird like I went too deep. But I swear I only went as deep as I usually go, which isn't deep at all. Guess I'll see when it heals. And I swear they appeared to have more depth in person after I finished. Again, guess I'll see when it heals.

Line work:

White Ink Tattoo

White Ink Tattoo,tattoos,tattoo designs
"White Ink Tattoo" Tattoo, originally uploaded by Rebecca-VT.

Chinese character symbol tattooed in white ink .The meaning of the symbol is "To travel" or "Journey".; This is my 3rd tattoo, and my first white ink tattoo. It is only about 24 hours old in this photo, so it's still raised and crusty looking. So far, it seems to be healing nicely, and is a nice bright white. I hope it stays that way! This was the first white tattoo the artist has done (which should have made me run away), but he's been doing it professionally for over 20 years. It's small enough to cover up if it ends up a disaster!

025

Date: 6|21|09
Tattoo: Arabic script, meaning "God"
Location: Left side back shoulder
Needle: 11M

Again, used water for grey wash. This was simple, but oh so fun, especially with my new love "cup of water" gray wash. I think I may have left it too light. But we'll see.

Need to take a better picture

024





Date: 6|21|09
Tattoo: "R" and "J" script
Location: Left side back of arm "R" | Right side back of arm "J"
Needle: 7RL | 11M

My first time using just a cup of water to make grey wash. I LOVE the cup of water technique. i do believe I found my prefered grey wash. Lays on so smooth and evenly.

But of course, I won't know for sure till it heals.

023

FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURE

Date: 6|20|09
Tattoo: II . VI . MMIX script
Location: Right side upper rib
Needle: 4RL | 5RS

Will update with picture at undisclosed time client may possibly return. This was a bit better than the first rib, but still tricky. Client keep noticing little niches that looked weird. She was right all three times.

But IM suppose to notice them before she does. I think I did, but for some reason...my mind was just blank. I hate slipping up in my professionalism. She had two other friends I was suppose to do. But they said they were tired (it was 12:30-1 am or so at this point) and will return the next day. As I thought, they did not come back.

022


Date: 6|18|09
Tattoo: "L" custom script
Location: Right side high upper thigh
Needle: 4RL | 5RS

021 | first rib



Date: 6|17|09
Tattoo: Jhoan script
Location: Right side rib
Needle: 7RL | 11M

Horrible linework, but can be fixed by filling it in. The guy was in pain with the shading, I doubt he would've have let me fill it in right then and there. At the begining...He was speaking on the phone. I now know that no talking is allowed when doing a rib.

So consider it wip.

The ribs are tricky, it was a surprise. But I really want to do another. I've looked closely at the other guys doing the rib since I did this, and I want to put into use what I've learned.
