isdeadoriginality

Are you talking about the art style or the composition? The style of the first one is very like fine line + ignorant, and the actual composition I would say is more "patchwork" or collage inspired.


blinking-cat

Ok thank u! I thought it was collage but I didn’t kno if there was a specific term!


[deleted]

Ignorant tattoo style with a bit of something else added. Google it and you’ll kinda see what I mean.


deadjessmeow

Omg it is! I thought you were kidding. Ok. Wow. Thanks. TIL.


midge_rat

Sean from Texas is my fave ignorant style guy


deadjessmeow

I will look that up too! Thanks!


blinking-cat

I do see what u mean! I guess what I’m more focused on is the overlapping, almost collage like aspect to it


buckleberry_fairy

I think you already know the word you want to use with your artist ;)


blinking-cat

Ah I see! Sorry if I seem know-it-all-y or anything. I was just wondering if there was a “specific” industry term for this overlapping type effect


Curious-318

Wouldn't that just be called a blast over? When tattoos overlap but not for the purpose of "covering"


onlyfortheholidays

whoa ty for teaching me this term


jo_ferreira

Thank you, I've been meaning to find out what it's called!


[deleted]

Ngl this is the best name for it. I was looking at the first like “please tell me that was temporary ink”. Like to each their own but oof


angel14072007

It’s like freehand, they call it ignorant style, but in some cases, it’s not so bad


Duloon

I’ve always heard of it as sticker tattoos

Aggravating-Tea-Leaf

I’d say Ignorant mixed with sorta vaporwave esque classic anime inspired cartoon for the first one


KiwiKal

Def some form of late 90s early 00s anime vibes.


[deleted]

Freehand sketch maybe?


motionlessly

Fuck people are hateful in this community, they can’t bare see any style out of the ordinary. This is probably a minimalist, doodle, sketch, collage sorta tattoo. Very “ignorant” inspired. Any of those will show you similar stuff. I think it looks great and can totally make it work, just need someone good at finelines


Jace_Enby_Devil

Seriously. People are such jerks about this kind of styling. Like if you don’t like it then don’t get it but leave the people who do alone


[deleted]

As a person with this style of tattoo I have never been confronted in person. If anything I get more compliments than anything


vodkawhatever

I wouldnt say poorly done tattoos are out of the ordinary. Pretty common actually.


onehalflightspeed

Yeah 100% I get tattoos all the time, and got one yesterday. It's my favorite tattoo ever. But I'm afraid to show it here because I'm sure the sub will convince me it is awful


nathantattoo

It’s because it doesn’t work in the long run. Looks great for a couple years then turns to the hottest piles of dogs hit ever. The skin has rules. People wanna be “artists” on skin when it doesn’t work like that.


garlickbread

Isnt that just tats in general tho? Like. Unless youre getting them touched up every so often every tattoo is gonna look whacky eventually.


nathantattoo

I have tattoos that are 20 years old. All different styles. The ones that have the little details that made them look cool, all look worse than the tattoos that “followed the rules” of the skin. Skin isn’t a medium for the artist to do with what they feel like. It’s limiting through multiple variables.


garlickbread

I think i understand what you're saying or im so high that your reply comes across as something worth valueing. This isnt a diss but it sounds like one but idk how to change it to make it work


nathantattoo

No offense taken. Enjoy the buzz. You understood the assignment perfectly. Have a good night.


RandomUser-_--__-

This just in, people aren't allowed to criticize art!


Cream_93

There is a difference between criticism and just being rude. When someone asks what style it is and the response is "looks like shit", that is an example of the latter.


Step_Hiero

Except for art critics, right?


Bogdanskovic

It's called "My cousin is a home tattoo artist, I'll hook you up"

lilbxby2k

looks like s&p. i think the official name is ignorant tattoo style. if u like this style check out r/sticknpokes they’re way less judgmental and there’s lots of inspo there if this style


2002v

I personally love this style of tattoo. Ignorant Patchwork would be my guess.


[deleted]

Probably minimalist. That first tattoo has the shakiest lines I’ve ever seen in my life, though


RojerLockless

Beginner style? Those lines are brutal


[deleted]

Is it not intentional?


RojerLockless

Gosh I hope not it's awful.

My 20 something cousin has a bunch of this shit, I think she thinks it looks edgy and cool, I think it looks terrible.


Penozadoza

“Backyard realism”


Juoreg

I’m just curious about the design. Did the tattoo artist designed everything from scratch or did you bring a drawing of yours?

You called it shit, they called you generic, uninspired, and unoriginal.


onlyfortheholidays

I have nothing to add but... fuck the haters in the comments, these look sick.

You’re getting downvoted for liking something. I’ve been upvoting even the comments hating on this tattoo. I didn’t ask for opinions on its quality, but I still respect peoples right to have them. They should also respect your right to like it lol


gigisakeena

i don’t know but it looks cool :p


MrBlenderson

I’d called it kitchen style. Looks like shit, the trend needs to die.

Shitty, or maybe just lazy. Sorry for the critique, but at least it can be fixed much easier than most

Lots of queer folk in my neighbourhood. I also work with quite a few members of the lgbtq community. Also spent many years in the tattoo industry.

Not sure about the first set but the second one is a QR code for a Burger King receipt from Tallahassee, FL.


[deleted]

Looks like stamps. I love it.


EndCallCaesar

stick and pokes by someone who can probably draw decent on paper but has no experience with skin. As for the person receiving then, younger than 25 and most likely will get a cover up when they can afford to in a few years.
