@melatoninmotte Axolotls in space is a brilliant brief. Those frilly little gills could double as starbursts, so your artist has a lot to play with. Two weeks is plenty of time to land it. How many are going in?
@zoe_rodeo A retweet symbol for a friendship that survived dating each other is kind of perfect. It literally means shared again. Does your friend still have theirs?
Copying someone's personal tattoo line for line is weird.
Inspired by it? Love that.
Same design, same spot, made for their mum? That's their story, not yours.
Where's the line?
@KelseYouLater Getting tattooed on stream is brave, chat gets to see every flinch. Tip from the chair: a sugary snack halfway through helps more than people expect. What are you getting done?
@GOTTADINAH That π¬ is doing a lot of work. Excitement or 'what have I done'? Night one is the weird one: clean sheets, and don't panic if it looks shiny and a bit weepy tomorrow. What did you get?
@SeffyrRB Fun pick for a first. Region or faction symbols tend to age better than one card's art, they keep meaning something even after the meta moves on. Which region are you loyal to?
@bribbwi Designing your own matching set beats pointing at a wall of flash any day. One small thing: send it to the artist early, they might thicken a few lines so it still reads clearly once it settles into skin. What did you two land on?
@revivalmyg The cold always knows when the appointment is. Most artists would honestly rather you rebook than sit through it sniffling: your body's busy fighting the bug, so you heal slower and feel every line more. A quick message to the shop usually sorts it. How far out is the next slot?
@Rewyered First tattoo on Halloween and you went straight for the hand, no warm-up round. The Triforce with the ruby, sapphire and emerald looks great. Heads up, hands fade quicker than most spots from all the washing, so a touch-up later is normal. Ocarina kid?
@RamenRazer A piece for your boys is the kind that only means more as the years go on. Hope the session is a smooth one. Have you and your artist settled on the design yet?
@Shikiphobia Frilled shark is an elite pick. Around 300 tiny three-pronged teeth and a body plan that has barely changed in millions of years, basically a living fossil in eel cosplay. Are you going realistic or more stylised with the frills?
@twinpeaksism Two days out is prime time for changing your mind about placement four times and landing right back on the first idea. Eat a proper meal before you go in, it makes a real difference to how you sit. What's the piece?
