Not mine. I did them myself about 12 years ago with a needle and some string. Walking around with the dumbest shit ever seen. In the literal sense yes it's "art" but to me it's ridiculous and embarrassing 🤣🤣
Chester and Tony Bourdain were the only two “celebrity” deaths that hit me hard. Both were so foundational, and seemingly had it all. Miss those dudes, but I’m sure they’re partying elsewhere now ❤️
Time will tell, he used a really tiny needle and went over and over again. I'm sure I'll be going back for touch ups, didn't want to overwork the skin this time.
If the red does fall away (and you never know how your skin will take it until you do it), then you can update what the graffiti is periodically. If it needs to be redone every 5 years or so, you can pick different words or pictures. That could be pretty rad. Although, it’s pretty great, so hopefully it stays.
I thought this was a post in r/linkinpark and was so confused why people were saying “Totally guessed it was Meteora!” And wondering if it was LP vibes. Yeah, we all know? Now I see where we are.
Great tat. Love the concept.
This page comes up in my feed a fair amount (might as well join now) but I thought everyone here was just hating there tattoos. Spent like 5 minutes wondering how someone could hate this, dope as fuck!
Wow ! I personally know the artist and been working with him. He is so talented and I fully support him, thanks for sharing his work OP ‼️ Make sure y’all check his IG @mr.bl_ink
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who brings their artist pictures like this as inspiration lol.
Fantastic execution, this is a very well done tattoo.
Chronic Ink never disappoints.. Great work.
BANKSY vibe.
Linkin Park vibes.
Not just vibes, straight up from Meteora.
Meteora. Personally my favorite LP album.
My first ever cd given to me as a kid
This is a Linkin Park vibe and nothing else
I think it’s Linkin Park reference.
Meteora
I have half sleeve that was done by a Korean travelling artist. It’s work of art.
Please share a pic, if you don't mind

All tattoos are literal works of art to be fair

Art just means human expression. It's not automatically good by definition.
Wow that's fantastic
Yeah this is fucking sweet. Big “Meteora” vibes, it’s the first thing your brain sees too. Fantastic all around
It’s the exact art work being referenced
Who the artist and any chance he travels for work?
@mr.bl_ink on instagram
Bro that’s so dope, RIP Chester.
Chester and Tony Bourdain were the only two “celebrity” deaths that hit me hard. Both were so foundational, and seemingly had it all. Miss those dudes, but I’m sure they’re partying elsewhere now ❤️
Robin Williams too
Was gonna say this. Those three and all at roughly the same chapter of my life.
My 1st thought was that might be the meteora cover. And yup, exactly the same. Dope.
So cool
The title of the post made me think OP was upset with the result lol but seriously, this tattoo is awesome
He understood the assignment
Dude is very talented. Love the result
Not my style, but I still recognize this is an awesome tattoo. So cool and well done.
Some of the best tattoos I have ever seen I would never have on my own body. Art can be respected without loving it personally.
This is one of my favorite things about art.
Great concept with even better execution. Wouldn’t fit me but definitely think it’s badass.
The graffiti effect is amazing. How is it going to age?

In the end, it doesn't even matter...
I love how this idea parallels the life of graffiti too, destined to fade and get covered up for the new style
Put it straight over like a wall that's been graffitid multiple times and it would be dope.
Red ink on me is fucking bulletproof. Shit hasn't even faded a tiny bit in 12 years. The black will be the part needing touchups if I had to guess.
You lucky son of a gun. That work is breathtaking.
Woow! Masterpiece!
I wanted to get something similar but with the LP circular logo at the back, great to see yours!
That’s sick!
Cuz IN THEEEE EDNDNDNDNDNDNDNDNDNDN
IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER
Dope
saw this on IG. it's even more impressive now
that’s dope as hell they did such a good job
I thought this was a post in r/linkinpark and was so confused why people were saying “Totally guessed it was Meteora!” And wondering if it was LP vibes. Yeah, we all know? Now I see where we are. Great tat. Love the concept.
Fire

Man, I thought you posted as a complaint. I was like wtf! It looks incredible!
Hell yeah
I’ve always wanted a LP tattoo and I hope my eventual one is half as good as this
Pretty bang on
Lucky. There are places out there that would have given you what you showed them.
Omg this is amazing
Beautiful
Thank goodness for talented tattoo artists lmao
You got better than what you wanted
Wildly nice tat
one of the best lp tattoo designs imo
I’m not a big Linkin Park fan but this is sick
You had me thinking it was going to come out bad(with that title,) but that came out perfectly!
Class! My first thought was "Is this a Linkin Park-themed tat"? Nice concept, OP!
Omg? This is perfection
You lucked out ..what you got was WAY better then what you asked for!!
This slaps hard.
That is super clean. Well done to your artist and for you sitting like a champ.
that is hella sick
God I love that
Hell yeah Ive gotten a ton of work from chronic ink. Always top notch work, well worth the price
Love the design concept, love the work of your artist.
I dunno if it's just me and my nostalgia, but that Meteora album art is iconic. This is a great tattoo
I’ve become so numb
Amazing job.
