Finally got my first tattoo. To share my experience, this took 2 hours and it costed me only $100. The words say "Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies". As for the pain, it does hurt. It hurts for the first hour or so and you get a little numb but it will still hurt. There are certain spots that don't hurt as much. The best way I could describe the pain is pretending you have a sunburn and you have a very sharp object scratching very hard on your sunburnt skin. However, it's not something that you can't tolerate. I had to clench my fist, bite down hard on my teeth, and close my eyes several times during my session. Feel free to ask me anything!
I can see why It cost only a hundred...good job though for stepping into the world of ink. It gets addicting. The artists lines are good but his shading is decent at best
Not sure if it will affect anything, but this picture was taken about a few hours after I got it. It hasn't healed up yet. Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies
Honestly no not much difference I can see how he shaded and what the overall will be...research your artist more and if you live in a small town then if suggest driving to a bigger city for ink...I'm from minnesota specifically duluth but would never get a tattoo there due to lack of talent/skills. That's why I only get my ink here in San Diego and only reputable shops....by all means I'm def not saying this tattoo of yours is scratcher status so don't take offense to that. I'm more critiquing on what the artist did and not attacking you
Not offended but I have no knowledge about tattoos but I like what I see. I guess that is what matters the most, as long as I like it and it means something to me. I might go to a new tattoo artist for my new ones so thanks for your input!
Exactly! That's what I should have said as well..in the end what matters the most is that you like it bro..and like I said by no means is it a scratcher/shitty tattoo either.
I could be wrong, but I don't like what the shading looks like... I went to an artist looking for portfolio work and she didn't even go that low for a tattoo... I paid $400 and that was the saving price.
Gonna get on with a THC molecule, a lysergic acid molecule, and dmt molecule tattoo on my inside biceps and or chest
