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.


I’ve seen this photo at least two dozen times tattooed on different people, and every single tattoo artist has taken personal credit for it.

The original illustrator is can be found here and is pretty genius. The concept is so cool, but I just don’t know why people would want the same tattoo as so many other people…

What do you think? Say you found something popular online that you really, really wanted as a tattoo. Would you get the same piece as other people, or have your artist draw you up something new and different?

  6. kaikaikay answered: I would definitely work with the artist to try to make it unique. For me, tattoos tell a story, and mine isn’t the same as anyone else’s.

  9. animatorlex answered: I found an artist I LOVE, so I commissioned her to design something just for me. I would rather have something original.
  10. gutoislostatsea answered: Depends on the piece. If I like the concept then I’d have the artist run with it. If the art really REALLY hit me then I’d get a copy.
