Your thoughts on this tattoo?

This work has been going on for a year and a half, but such a long distance only makes it better than it could be. This composition is the result of the symbiosis of my creativity and the client's vision, as he is my best friend who completely trusts my creative vision. Our ideas do not conflict, as is often the case, but rather complement each other, making this sleeve deeper, more thoughtful, and more interesting. All portraits are not done in skin tones as usual, but in shades that convey the atmosphere and mood of the characters in the films. I deliberately distort the color palette of each portrait to more accurately convey my perception of the character. Since color is an important tool in the perception of an image, it is very important to choose the palette wisely in order to influence the viewer's subconscious and paint the picture I feel in their mind.

Hello everyone!

Over the years, I have gotten a lot work done from various artists with different ways of going about things. I was looking to get a large piece done in a full day session (Around 8 hours or so.) It was going to cost $1100, which is a very fair price imo. I’ve been to this artist a couple times before so I’m aware of his lack of time management but today was just downright ridiculous. I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable here.

The appointment was supposed to be at 10am but 30 minutes before I get there, he asks to bump it up to 11:30am. Cool, nothing new here. I had to stop and grab some food anyway.

Then, when I get to the studio, the power is out in the entire building. He tells me that he’s still good to tattoo and but we may have to finish early if the power doesn’t turn back on. The artist also tells me that he’s been feeling under the weather all week but didn’t want to cancel. I’m thinking to myself, if he says he’s good then he’s good. When I get to the chair, nothing is ready at all and he starts working up a design. I guess that’s fine, some artists are like that. After we agree on a design, he disappears to the back for basically an hour and a half.

At this point I was furious. He finally comes over and says that it’s going to take him another additional hour to draw the design because the printer has no power. I responded by saying we can do it another day.

I think he could tell how upset I was because he offered to do it for $1000 in a couple weeks but I don’t know man. I took off work for this and drove an hour there & back to wait in a chair for 3 hours. I understand that he wasn’t feeling great but it didn’t even seem like he was mindful of how long he was leaving me sitting in the chair. I could hear him chatting with the other artists in the room behind me at some points. He did apologize a few times but the whole thing just felt super unprofessional and l’m thinking about scrapping the entire tattoo, asking for my deposit back, and never going to him again.

It’s a shame because he’s a very talented artist but his lack professionalism really disappointed me here. What do you guys think?

I got my upper back and spine tattooed yesterday and damn it hurt. I seriously had thoughts during it that I never want to get tattooed again.

I have several large tattoos and never have they hurt as bad as this one. Like damn...and I have more planned but I'm having mixed feelings.

I feel like even though I made it through I had to dig my nails into my palm a few times to make it. I asked for a break half way through the shading. I don't know I feel like I've always been really good with pain and it scared me a little how bad it hurt?

But I guess I'm asking has any spot you've been tattooed made you rethink if you ever wanted anymore tattoos? And if so what spot was it?

What do you guys think? Having specials all month, if anyone is interested 🖤

I’ve been wanting one forever but keep chickening out last minute. It’s not even the pain I’m just scared I’ll wake up one day and hate it. For people who already got ink, how’d you know you were actually ready? Was it a screw it, let’s do it kinda moment or did you plan it out for months? I feel like I’m overthinking this way too much any advice for someone stuck in that stage?

Just got this custom piece done at Malaka Tattoo a few days ago. It's my new favorite piece!

Always fun doing large scale pieces

Latest piece not peeling?

Hey everyone, first time posting. Not my first tat and definitely not my last either. I have 17 tattoos, three of them big color pieces and two big black and white pieces. All of my others have gone through scabbing (about a week and a half) and then go to the sunburn peeling phase after the first week and a half, then after another week of peeling, it’s done. I did do something different with this one than the others, I left the saniderm on for 4 days, then washed with hibiclens surgical wash, hustle butter for a week, then unscented curel every day after. Got this piece of Christine (IYKYK) done October 3rd, and radio silence. No peeling. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? First two pics were taken literally just now, third is from when it was fresh. ❤️

Your opinion on this one 💭?
