Roses and clocks are a part of traditional tattooing, not exclusively black and grey..

“I don’t hate styles I hate people” I’ve never related to anything, as much as I do to this.

On one hand, I understand being tired of doing cliche tattoos. However, things like roses and clocks are popular for a reason; they hold cultural significance, they're stunning to look at when an artist can pull it off, and they symbolize very broad, common themes (beauty and time/timelessness). Again, while i get the artists' frustration and desire to do more original work, I also don't think it's fair to say that no one from this point on can get those tattoos. Thoughts?

I think a big thing about the 'generic' tattoos of today (roses, lion head, compass/clock) is that people genuinely like those things. People aren't out here getting a rose tattoo because they think it will impress other people, they just like roses. These things are just cool things that people like, both symbolically and aesthetically, so they get it tattooed on themselves because they like these things and it makes them happy to carry it around with them. Everybody knows it's hardly unique, but they don't really care. Lions are cool, why should other peoples tattoo effect my tattoo?

But their main frustration is when people treat them like photocopiers and want them to steal an existing (often also stolen) work from Pinterest and not give them any freedom for their own style.

I liked the sketch and I'm pale af so I volunteered my back and he gave me a good deal on it (since it wasn't exactly a design I had decided on myself). I think they probably have a lot of original drawings they would love to tattoo on the right person who comes along.

As a first-timer, the attitude of the artist meant more to me than i ever thought it would.

I love drawing and painting and making “traditional” art, but I think it’s unfair to say that people who spend hours combining images in photoshop to create a new one aren’t also making art. It’s just a different from from what he is used to, but they are being creative and it is art.

Aka you have the most generic ink possible.

Can I just say that I love the new opening format that they have been using for these videos. Also I appreciate the added effects that only make the tattooists stories and reactions more entertaining 😂

When I get tattoos, most of them are going to be because they're pretty. Most of the symbolic things in my life are physical things like rings that's I can wear. Like man I just want pretty lines and nicely done hands and music notes. Not everything gotta have a meaning.

guy with the black anchor t-shirt won my heart bcoz of how positive he was..... good energy ...

I think this is interesting, and I like that there honest it’s human nature to hate repetitive or unoriginal stuff but just like the last man said as long as your true to yourself it’s all amazing work 🙂

I’m a tattoo virgin and was calling places tryin to scope out the best place. Made one guy laugh pretty good cause I purposely said “I wanna be unique so Im thinking a Lion on top of a compass with a bunch of roses” just to fck wit him lol

I waited till I was 41 to get a 1/2 sleeve. I saw a beautiful painting that sparked what I wanted. I sat with my tattoo artist and explained what drew me too it and my two other reference pieces and said now make it yours. He did, it’s beautiful and amazing, and I am asked about it all the time. He has done 3 of my tattoos, one is an infinity symbol with my son’s name threaded through it. He didn’t complain, he made it his own. That is why I pay the amount he ask. He is worth every penny and he never belittles me or what I want. I have my new idea for my next full sleeve ready to go when quarantine is over.

How about an episode of tattoo artists talking about the evolution of their art? Say they compare one of their earliest "good" tattoos and one of their current creations and talk about how they learned and adjusted their techniques for better work.

Loved the last guy. Mad respect for that positivity.

I originally wanted a micro tattoo for my last one but I'm actually thankful my artist talked me out of it. The one I got means so much

When I go in, I’ll usually give the artist a reference: “this is kinda what I was thinking of in general but like, play around with it. You’re the pro, work your magic” Giving artists some artistic freedom will (IMO) make the artist more excited to do the tat and will come up with some of the MOST AMAZING WORK

@gwenmph

The most amazing tattoo work I’ve ever had done was like this for me. I gave him a reference photo, kinda what I was wanting from the tattoo in general (like the feel of it), and then told him to run with it.

All of my tattoos mean something to me, even if it’s not necessarily what I would get if I walked into a shop today.

My first tattoo is either the one I've been figuring out for years or a bee with hyperrealistic human legs. Meaning, whoever I go to for it is gonna be surprised, or hate me.
