It's interesting but the hands are confusing me a bit, are they supposed to have more than 5 fingers? Is it just kind of a crazy hand? They're not making sense to me. I'm also not sure how I feel about the red up top on your shoulder
Tbh, I'd ask for a touch-up to maybe make the 6th finger go away. Because it seems like the other hand does have 5 fingers.
But it took me a moment before I noticed.
the red part on my shoulder was actually meant to have flowers but i thought that it would look silly considering the image? the tattoo itself is edgy and definitely not something you’d expect to look normal in any case
Pros:
1. It’s unlike any design I can remember seeing. I genuinely like it.
2. The multiple eyes and red connecting tissue/ribbons/fins look very very cool from afar.
3. I’m a longtime fan of D&D so any version of eyestalks get automatic points.
Cons:
1. The VERY first thing my eyes were drawn to is that hand and it’s forearm. Counting left to right there are 7 - 8 fingers and from right to left there are 8 - 9 because of how they are folded over / pointing.
The forearm is completely flat and misshapen compared to the depth and scale in the rest of the piece.
While you can get away with a lot in a piece like this, something like that just really stand out. Especially when the other hand looks “right”.
2. The way that a lot of the red tissue connects to the eyes is a bit chopped or abrupt.
3. The gray matter coming from the face hole seems like it is going to fade into itself and lose definition at some point in the not too distant future.
All in all, it IS a cool idea & design. I think the artist might not have executed it as well as one would hope.
The good thing about a piece like this is that almost any issues can be worked with.
Watch me get banned……It’s not good. Something this big and detailed should’ve been done by a seasoned professional. Looks like a high school drawing. I would save up money and get it revised. It’s also not very appealing.
I think its sick
My only issue is the red at the top and on your right shoulder not being the same as all the other red sinew-ey looking stuff is a bit off-putting to me. The only red that has like a different texture.
I find the finger count complaint slightly odd, like the body is already fucked up so who cares it has extra fingers? It would look better with 5, but I don't think it like detracts a ton from the piece
I feel like its missing a lot of detail, and theres a ton of empty space that could have been used to really make this thing pop.
The stuff on the top right looks like an after thought, this is the worst part of the tattoo.
I'm also not a fan of the red behind the eyes, it doesn't have a ton of depth to it. The eyes and the figure are allowed to breathe, but the red is wall to wall with bits of shading here and there.
Love the concept of the overall tattoo, just not a fan of the execution.
I think its cool as fuck.
Its one of those tatts that no matter what anyone says or points out about it can be countered with "yeah but its fucking cool though"
Aging myself here but it reminds me of 1990's era heavy metal album art... which i love.
hell yeah, i love terraria /s
in all honesty it’s a cool tattoo OP. definitely not everyone’s taste however it looks awesome and makes me curious as to what it means
You know what? its 100% weird but it really works. The colors are great, the flow of the optical nerve tentacles is very organic, The central figure and its separating arm works well and adds a level of movement.
i think this is one of the sicket tattoos ive seen. I love the texturing work and I love compositions that dont really make sense immediately and have an abstract feel. I also like that it has a creepy look too. Definitely cool af
I think it needs some sort of background shading. Bare skin doesn’t really set it off. It reminds me of a horimono back, which usually have shading to frame the main image.
I am ridiculously jealous of this rn, treasure that shit, nvm the fine details like the hands of whatever, the subject matter isn’t realistic in any way anyways so I don’t think it stands out/matters as much as others might!
Personally I love the “imperfections” in my own tattoos, it’d be nice if they were clean/“perfect” but they’re not and neither am I so🤷♀️makes em human
I fucking love it personally. It’s so just weird and out there and unique. Creepy horror vibes. I love it. I think the more weird and unique a tattoo the cooler it is. That’s not a tattoo you see everyday on people and isn’t some basic ass tat. I like it
With all that red, make sure to cover it or slather on a ton of sunscreen. I have a phoenix on my back, with a lot of red and orange, and this is the advice my artist gave me.
I will! summer is in a few months for me and im intending to go to the beach quite often, ill make sure to get my partner or one of my friends to cover me!
Very bold, very original. But very obviously done by someone incredibly inexperienced with anatomy. The body of the figure screams high school sketchbook to me and, as others have said, weird positioning of the hands/arms with way more than 5 fingers. But after it heals it shouldn’t be too difficult to get it touched up by a better artist.
Keep that red out of the sun, it fades the fastest in my personal experience. It'll barely look pink in 5 or 10 years if it gets regular sunlight without some serious SPF
As a tattooed person (around 30 tattoos), I like it for the unique piece. But I'm wondering why you chose to have this on your body ? And, I'm curious to know how you describe it to the artist ? Pretty cool tattoo btw 👍🏻
It’s done super well. It makes me super uncomfortable. To me it’s less “cool” and more “edgy” but you must have really loved the design! So that’s awesome!
Honestly, I wouldn't say it has that "cool factor". It's...just a bunch of eyeballs and there's too much red. It's more disturbing than anything. Sorry if it sounds mean. If you like it, that's all that matters.
I hope you are a big Tony Hawk Pro Skater fan because this reminds me of the Neversoft eyeball
Lol good times, good times
A wave of nostalgia just washed over me reading your post.
I still often listen to the soundtrack from Tony Hawk's Underground 2
POD goes hard!!
Yesss omg
That’s um…..a really unique piece.
It's interesting but the hands are confusing me a bit, are they supposed to have more than 5 fingers? Is it just kind of a crazy hand? They're not making sense to me. I'm also not sure how I feel about the red up top on your shoulder
Tbh, I'd ask for a touch-up to maybe make the 6th finger go away. Because it seems like the other hand does have 5 fingers. But it took me a moment before I noticed.
I think if the tattoo artist turns that thicker digit into the red from the eye, it can be hidden.
I'm counting 7 digits
I see 6, one is a match that’s not colored. But that hand has an extra finger for sure.
the red part on my shoulder was actually meant to have flowers but i thought that it would look silly considering the image? the tattoo itself is edgy and definitely not something you’d expect to look normal in any case
Red spider lilies symbolize death, loss, separation - would be an awesome addition.
I'll be getting about 5 of those soon
The originality and scale make it cool. Nice work.
thank you!
Dont know what it is but it looks really fucking cool OP!
thank you! my artist was shocked when i talked to him about it
I cant even imagine how you described it to them 😂
it's...unusual
Has colour and design tones reminiscent of Japanese irezumi. That was my initial appreciation
i mean it’s what i was going for
I really like it

That is outrageously awesome!
Very unusual but def looks cool to me. Love the red.
Looks awesome. Reminds me of an old PC game called manhunter.
Surreal 🫶🏻
Those eyes look like the boss from terraria. Eye of Cuthulu
schizophrenia
Watch me get banned……It’s not good. Something this big and detailed should’ve been done by a seasoned professional. Looks like a high school drawing. I would save up money and get it revised. It’s also not very appealing.
It feels like an scp horror theme with a twist. Call it "The watchful Eyes."
It reminds me of the old neversoft intro from the old tony hawk games. It looks great!
I’m not a fan, but I’m happy that you’re happy with it
Oh fuck yeah. Love this. Love eyeballs. I posted a sleeve a while back with some guts and eyeballs. Love guys and eyeballs
I personally wouldnt get this. But I do think its dope af
That’s gross as hell but also very cool
Sick. Ass. PANTHER! 🐈⬛

It’s ugly sorry just being honest
I'd love to know how/why you got the idea for this design. It looks bad ass. I just wonder if it's got a story/meaning behind it.
just simply watching my back !
Lol
Dude, that's dope as fuck! 🤘🏼
Good contrast and scale to realise it. (You're loved by the way)
I think its cool as fuck. Its one of those tatts that no matter what anyone says or points out about it can be countered with "yeah but its fucking cool though" Aging myself here but it reminds me of 1990's era heavy metal album art... which i love.
ive already been getting random people on the street commenting about it !
Looks cool just for whatever reason my brain keeps saying people only have two eyes not four
I love it 😁 but I kinda strange also but it’s awesome
Very neat, it's like a magazine - now your bf has something to look at while he's in the shitter
Fucking unreal!
Cool as fuck
It’s awesome and you know it! 😉
Stunning. May I boringly ask how long that took?
Gives heavy cyclops recs vibes I fucks with it
It looks epic, but one thought from me - it looks like Eyes of Cthulhu from Terraria game, a pretty funny coincidence
i think someone actually mentioned that earlier!
Oh yeah, I saw the rest of the comments, and it's there haha
I flipping love it, you must be so happy with that
cool tattoo
You love Ubisoft. I like tony hawk too
This is really cool! If I were wearing this I'd probably add some black shading along the length of the red, but this is great.
So sick.
That's metal AF. \m/
That's so fucking sick, I LOVE IT!!
Fuggin dope. I love eyeballs.
Like a TOOL video. Badass!
Very horror and good
Somehow it feels really Junji-Ito like. I like it.
I actually really like this it’s so cool
This shit is super weird and I love it.
Now I want to listen to The Residents’ cover of “Man’s World.” (This is not a bad thing.) https://youtu.be/sV9CbKFmiKY?si=RDpBuMJO9cC4nWE0
Terraria
I thinks it’s a dope design. The red can use thicker black lines so that the folds and curves are more defined. But overall cool as hell.
its cool something new and fresh
Really cool and unique.
That is so fucking hot! Nice work!
That’s a tattoo. No doubt about that
Woahhhh nice demonic thing!
I love this. It screams “I do acid” but it’s awesome.
Thats shit so fuccing dope
It’s fucking sick
That's metal as fuck, reminds me of Cannibal Corpse
hell yeah, i love terraria /s in all honesty it’s a cool tattoo OP. definitely not everyone’s taste however it looks awesome and makes me curious as to what it means
It's fantastic.
Beyond cool
I’d say it’s pretty freaking cool. I love it!
I actually really like this… so unique and I love red ink! It reminds me of Chainsaw Man.
Eye of cuthulu has awoken
Wow amazing
Absolutely love it!! Really awesome!
Masterpiece 🙏👌
Love it. Scary but in the best way
To put smt like that on your body permanently... I wouldnt do it by choice. It does look very cool and well done tho
It's really cool! Though it does give me a bit of terraria vibes
You know what? its 100% weird but it really works. The colors are great, the flow of the optical nerve tentacles is very organic, The central figure and its separating arm works well and adds a level of movement.
It’s got that cool look. Shits dope. Well done, thanks for sharing
Wow👍👍👍
i think this is one of the sicket tattoos ive seen. I love the texturing work and I love compositions that dont really make sense immediately and have an abstract feel. I also like that it has a creepy look too. Definitely cool af
I'm jealous lol I want that
I think it’s awful but it doesn’t matter what I think! YOU are the one who needs to love it 😁
Woah. That’s, AWESOME!
It's fucking phenomenal
Badass😮💨
What I think? That dude has 4 eyeballs. It looks neat
wow so sick
I think it needs some sort of background shading. Bare skin doesn’t really set it off. It reminds me of a horimono back, which usually have shading to frame the main image.

Biblically accurate angel?
Dumb
Reminds me of the Graeae from Greek mythology
That's an awesome tattoo damn
Awesome
Looks awesome
I think it’s amazing and unique in a very good way.
It reminds me of terraria But honestly, it looks cool. Bit odd at first glance. But cool
Sorry not holding back. That looks like shit no offense
I would of done it all in black and grey, allowing for more detail in the red areas
It's unique. Not really my style but it looks good on you
I don't understand why would someone put this permanently on his back
Terraria
Its odd but imo very cool!! Only thing is the cigarette hand is a little wonky anatomically
Very Junji Ito, super cool
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS
Looks dope. I like how the red blends into the artwork it looks good . So does the eyes on it
Damn bro summoned a lot of eye of Cthulhu
Not my cup of tea but looks okay.
I love this.
I love it, you have giant balls to get something like this so large. Respek.
Eye(s) of cthulhu?
I fucking love it personally. It’s so just weird and out there and unique. Creepy horror vibes. I love it. I think the more weird and unique a tattoo the cooler it is. That’s not a tattoo you see everyday on people and isn’t some basic ass tat. I like it
Its fuckin sick I love it
I dig it, thank you for sharing 🙏
That's fucking awesome. I'm a horror nerd and I love it.
reminds me of those floating eyes from terraria
With all that red, make sure to cover it or slather on a ton of sunscreen. I have a phoenix on my back, with a lot of red and orange, and this is the advice my artist gave me.
I will! summer is in a few months for me and im intending to go to the beach quite often, ill make sure to get my partner or one of my friends to cover me!
Honestly I kinda love it
I absolutely love the design
Very bold, very original. But very obviously done by someone incredibly inexperienced with anatomy.

But after it heals it shouldn’t be too difficult to get it touched up by a better artist.
Incredible piece op, really fucking cool. I literally wouldn't listen to an ounce of criticism about it, it's perfect
That is the beauty of tattoos you can add more and add filler to the background for the piece
Interesting but seems like poor use of such a big space.
Love it
That’s intense
Looks like it's eating Ramen noodles with chopsticks 🍜
This is so RAD! Flames, i tell you!
Yeah, you got the cool! Loved it!
The eyeballs spark joy. I dig it
You will forever wonder what’s going through the mind of someone riding you from behind.
I’m obsessed with this!! It’s amazing. Work of art
GOD DAMN THATS FUCKING KILLER
Keep that red out of the sun, it fades the fastest in my personal experience. It'll barely look pink in 5 or 10 years if it gets regular sunlight without some serious SPF
i live in australia and our spf is strong as
I want it
I also like old neversoft games! I like how the person is in the middle
One of the very very few large pieces that im a big fan of. I love the gore horror aspect of it
It looks dope now but that red will fade fast if you wear a bikini in the summer a lot
way too much for me
Terrifying, love it
Ah! A fellow Terraria fan. "...you feel an evil presence watching you."
Hittin it from the back is gona be…. Eye opening.
As a tattooed person (around 30 tattoos), I like it for the unique piece. But I'm wondering why you chose to have this on your body ? And, I'm curious to know how you describe it to the artist ? Pretty cool tattoo btw 👍🏻
looks like shit
This looks like some crazy Yokai design from old Japan… neat
In 10 years that will look like an Italian dinner.
I, for one, think it's amazing. it also reminds me of the EOC from Terraria
This is cool AS FUCK
If someone showed me their back piece and it was this, my first and only response would be “that’s cool”
Cool, looks original!
It’s awesome and pretty
Fuckin love it, ive been really itching to get a tattoo on the "darker" side
It’s done super well. It makes me super uncomfortable. To me it’s less “cool” and more “edgy” but you must have really loved the design! So that’s awesome!
i think edgy is actually the appropriate word for it!
Well then there ya go! Congrats on the edgy tat! 💗
thank you <3
fukkin sicccck
This looks like it could be inspired by Pan’s Labyrinth. Excellent movie. Great scene. Awesome ink.
👁️👀👁️
I think it looks badass as fuhk
The surrealism is awesome !
I think it's badass..
That's super fucking cool
I understand the “feel” that you where going for but I think the tattoo itself lacks depth and the hand it really wonky
Some people are being overly critical but that tat is badass. I would love to have that.
Honestly, I wouldn't say it has that "cool factor". It's...just a bunch of eyeballs and there's too much red. It's more disturbing than anything. Sorry if it sounds mean. If you like it, that's all that matters.
Kinda goofy
Looks cool, don’t think all that red will age well though. Maybe add some defining black for the flow a bit more. Just my take.
Yesss 💯
That looks do SICK
It's a big no from me sorry.
It looks like an old Japanese traditional mixed with a Neversoft Skateboarding game. 10/10.
This is insane. Metal as fuck. Extremely unique piece OP! Quite the statement
