I've seen some bad tattoos, but...

Even if the artist for the first one was trying to go for some kind of tribal tattoo, it still looks terrible. I don't think they were trying to copy the second one, you can see the first one has a few different elements such as a branch(...?) and some sort of snake(???). But all poorly drawn nonetheless. :|

Wait a minute.... I just saw that o and c. You turdbird.

Gotta represent the OC pride somewhere, yo!

That tattoo is bad, but not terrible. I don't recall what or when but I've certainly seen much worse tattoos.

-Don't cheap out on future tattoos. Save for good artists in good studios, even if it runs you a few months' paycheques (if full bodywork). Tats are permanent.
Well not really, but tattoo removal is 5x more expensive, and 10x more painful than getting inked itself.

-Do your research, look for reviews, and request artist portfolio before you commit.
If for some reason they don't have a port or are willing to share, you know they're going to fuck your body canvas up.

-If you want a tat that'll keep most of its form throughout your lifetime, get it in non-muscular areas like feet, fingers, etc.
Though personally, I think those tats are lame, and lack of muscle also means a more painful ink (since it's just skin and bone).

-Don't get a tat if your body is in a state where you don't think it'll stay the same for long, eg. too skinny/fat, muscular now and likely to change form later. Wait it out.
Fading is natual, and so is stretch/shrink, but you can minimize it if you get your tats at the right time in your life.
If you're a stick now, but anticipate plumping up for unknown reason in the future, it'll stretch and deform into something lolworthy.

^My advice on getting inked.

All of that is so, so true. Everyone who cheaps out on tattoos because "their friend is giving them a deal", or they don't want to spend too much on a first tattoo. Bad idea. I've been looking through different artists portfolios and getting recommendations because I don't want to be a victim of that website myself, lol.

Definitely get CK tattoos together, though. And post them here
