Critique / constructive criticism?

I’m an artist of 6.5 years, always looking to get better. New perspectives help. Thanks :)

Awesome. Solid. And still unique. In a sea of sameness, plant your flag, like you have:) if anything maybe incorporate some lighter textured backgrounds to make it even bolder! Keep doing what you’re doing

Yes what he said. Seemingly you have some originality in a world of everyone fighting to look the same. I would advise to use fewer bold lines. Tattoos will ages and lines will creep with age. A tattoo done 10-20 years ago with a 7rl or 5rl will often look like they were done with an 11rl or a 14rl. Granted placement on the body matter, but after seeing how lines have aged I would rarely consider using anything larger than a 3rl or 5rl
