I feel like my work is pretty loud and my expectation is for most people to play it safe with a first tattoo. Truly a pleasure and grateful to see people taking the plunge into the deep-end.

I hope you all can forgive me😅 also!! they’re two separate tattoos hence the words being on each hand rather than spelled left to right.. I didn’t want the W and N from slow down to be moved up a knuckle and I really love the tattoos overall. I have a few hand tattoos including one on the side of my palm that have all healed nicely with minimal fading in 10+ years. I hope to have some good news for you all once these are healed lol (Artist's page) [PIC 9] Submitted by: u/jeremytwohands Title: Got a tattoo of my dog sick ass Panther style - Jen Gawle Timeless Tattoos Chicago (Artist's page) [PIC 10] Submitted by: u/Unique_Cap6876 Title: Sun and Moon by @wood.textured.art / London / W-ink LDN Studio (Shop's page) [PIC 11] Submitted by: u/alternate_world_ Title: By @beirxtt in Vancouver BC (Artist's page) [PIC 12] Submitted by: u/32_CoffeeSpoons Title: My first tattoo by @tat.soy in Vancouver, BC (Artist's page) [PIC 13] Submitted by: u/francescocapro Title: Matching Celtic sleeves done by me , Brighton - UK (Artist's page) [PIC 14] Submitted by: u/cash_only_tattoos Title: Start of Fairy Ornaments by Wynn Wilder in Chicago, IL private studio Caption: Linework laid in first session - lower back, chest, and hip/thigh framers plus shading to come in future sessions.
