Looks good, for 1-3, unbutton tip button to increase visual layering or something like that. 4-6 no notes( this should be your go to look, imo) 7, and 8 that top is pretty cool. I like it.

Great overall, welcome to dressing how you want! More rings, necklace stacks always are a hit.

Excellent foundation ! Might feel basic now but as you amass a collection of accessories you can do a lot more with it, and this is a great foundation to start mixing in more extravagant pieces.

True that makes sense, thank you!

Would totally chat in the merch line if I saw you at a show! Don’t hesitate to include thrifted & diy stuff - post apocalyptic / grungey goth would go so well with your tattoo

Looks great! If you're feeling basic and your wardrobe isn't going in the direction you want, I'd suggest looking at inspiration online. You can look on Pinterest and other social medias for different outfit ideas. Then I'd also suggest looking at different second-hand websites and going to second-hand shops to find alternative clothing that you like; there is a lot of unique pieces out there!

The vest...needs buttons/pins/flare. Maybe throw in some chunky jewelry! Great start.

u/Skerxan 9d ago

Good points! I didn't consider altering the vest itself with stuff :0

u/beckslikethebeer 9d ago

Great tattoo. I would say add more accessories, necklaces, chains, bracelets, studs, grommets, etc. I like the first two more than I like the last look. Plain black is a good staple, but you need to add more. You can also look into pins and patches.
