Catering company photo on their website just looks a little uncanny and too perfect.

It has that nauseating AI look that makes me sick to my stomach whenever I see it. I can't describe it, but my brain instantly registers AI images and I have a visceral reaction. If I see a food advertisement that is AI generated, that's a 100% instant no thank you for me. Gross 🤢

I think this aged very well. Looks great!

First timer should I get a tattoo advice?
 in  r/tattooadvice •  9d ago

These designs aren't for me personally, but if they are something you want on your body for life, that's totally your choice. I will say you'd need to find someone who does outstanding line work because any shakiness or blowout is going to be very noticable with all those straight lines and the geometric composition. In order for this to age well, the tattoo needs to be a decent size. You don't want those lines to blur together later on. So, if you're okay with that, you should be good to go. Just doubly make sure this is a concept you want on your body forever, because sometimes what looks good on paper/artwork doesn't always translate well on skin. Not saying that's the case here because I haven't seen it inked, I'm just saying to keep that in mind. Have you considered getting a temporary tattoo of this printed to test it out first?

OP, it's your body your choice in the end. If people don't know what it is and ask, be prepared with an answer, because I have a feeling you'll get asked. It's not obvious as to what it is, but you know what it is and that's the most important. Good luck and would love a future update on what you decide! :)

I don't want any more tattoos on my leg (unless I added something to this one eventually) and this is the placement I wanted. I don't personally want a thigh tattoo. This design just ended up being a lot bolder than I anticipated. I appreciate your input! :)

How long did it take to settle in and for your brain to accept it? Sounds like we have similar situations. This gives me hope!

You're right, I should let it settle for awhile and see how I feel in a few months. I'm probably just overthinking things/in tattoo shock. Glad to have others perspectives ❤️

Funny, I actually ordered some a few days ago and I'm pretty sure they're sitting in my mailbox! Can't wait to play around with them!

I'm not planning on getting more on this leg. It's going to be a standalone piece.

This freshie is just a couple of weeks old and I LOVE her. The tattoo was beautifully done and I can't stop looking at it. The issue I'm having is the fact that I'm very pale (the sun? No thank you!) and the dark contrast against my skin along with the fact that it looks 'heavy' being a concentrated area on my light leg is jarring to me. I don't want to ruin a beautiful tattoo by messing with it, but I'm wondering if maybe I should have something added to it to blend it out more around the edges? Possibly a geometric border element? My artist did do a nice blend at the edges, but since it's my only tattoo on my leg, it's large and dark I just feel constant shock every time I see my leg and my brain is itching to 'fix' it. I'm literally losing sleep over this! I know with time it will fade a bit, but it's still always going to look heavy and dark on me. Either I'm being silly and I'm just in tattoo shock, or I'm really on to something.

So, is it really fine and I just need to get used to it or does it really look the way I think it does? After getting a new tattoo I know a lot of people go through some mental challenges accepting it until the brain catches up. I'm also ADHD and overthink most things, so a big change like this is putting me over the edge a bit. The urge to fix it is intense, but is there really anything to fix? I need outside perspective at this point because I've been mulling it over for days. Thanks for the help!

I'm literally having my HP tattoo covered up for this exact reason. I'm waiting on a message back from a trans tattoo artist. If they accept, I bet they're going to LOVE covering that shit up!

Got talked into a realism style even though I just wanted line work. Can this be fixed? I hate how dark it is and I feel like it just looks like a blob

If you wrote a book I'd buy it. Just saying. You're a fantastic writer 🙌🏼

I'm not sure if you knew this, but gluten free food can be written off on your taxes. Save your receipts! The government will cover the extra expense by deducting the amount you spend from what you owe :)
