Critink
There are hundreds of thousands of tattoo pictures online. Maybe millions. But with this rise in popularity, it's getting even harder than ever to tell the difference between a quality piece of art and a piece that will fade into a black smudge. Learn to tell the difference now so you don't have to learn the lesson the hard way.

Don’t keep calm and carry in.
Call in sick at work and get a fucking tattoo instead.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect example of why you do not use a gun to pierce something.
This cringe-worthy reblog is brought to you by the fine folks at the The Association of Professional Piercers (APP).
This isn’t tattoo related, but taking care to learn about body mod safety and quality is what serious collectors do! Don’t be a poser: do your research!
First of today’s tattoos. When I did her sketch I didn’t think there was room for the panda but I was wrong! Haha! Not the best pics… The colors are a bit dirty ;) #tattoo #tattoos #tattoomachine #panda #rose

pretty much every artform is more relevant than tattooing and giving tattoos is only a subset of engraving or drawing if you think about it, and it is certainly nowhere near as relevant as the other artforms you fuckin cad. commit literal suicide
Bahahahahaha
I’m going to let Tumblr deal with this one. It’s been a few months since I’ve got a death threat / someone telling me to kill myself, so I’m just going to leave this here for everyone to see.
[edit] Due to the 20+ messages that made it into my inbox in less than 30 seconds, if you’d like to send @tentaclerapper’s URL to abuse@tumblr.com (and note that he asked me to kill myself twice) Tumblr would probably be a happier place for everyone.

how do you go through a day without killing yourself dancing, singing, drawing, painting, culinary arts, and pottery are far more widespread quit trying to justify your shitty crow and moustache tattoos when people laugh at you for having them
That isn’t even a sentence.
I think this is hate mail?
Tumblr halp.
- Step 1. Make a consultation
- Step 2. Leave a deposit
- Step 3. See the drawing
- Step 4. Get a tattoo
- Step 5. Pay for it
- Step 6. Be cool forever
And that’s how you get a tattoo, folks. You don’t see the word haggle in there, right? And it doesn’t say anything about asking them to see a “sample” drawing right? It’s a pretty straight forward process kids. (Thanks to the email submission for this meme!)
