I really loved how nice my tattoo artist was for my first tattoo I got a year ago. I have three moons on my forearm. I like really simple and symmetrical tattoos to compliment the body like arm bands etc.

The noise of the tattoo gun. I have  3 tattoos. I'm going to be getting a thigh piece done soon. The way I go about getting my tattoos that there is always a story behind it.

I currently have 12 tattoos, most are shitty stick and pokes. Looking forward to finishing my leg piece then adding to my throat/fixing a few things. 

I really like traditional, new school, and blackwork. Mostly I admire well done work no matter the style and am open to everything except maybe watercolor. Even though I love watercolor painting lol.

I love tattoos. I have two of them. 

I like realistic and geometric. My first tattoo was a spinal. Took 3 hours, barely any breaks. The tattoo shop was impressed and said most people get something small and wish they had gone bigger for their first. It's the solar system (including Pluto). My artist is a friend and also made the artwork for the asteroid belt from the arcade game Asteroids. It's also geometric and was a lot of single needle work. He did a fantastic job on it. 
My other one is a galaxy half watercolor half realistic fox on my ankle. Same artist 🖤

I have five tattoos but two of them are big: one from my shoulder to a little past my elbow, and the other takes up my right thigh.


My favorite part about them is the reward of seeing your tattoo completed. I have one artist that I go to now for everything. I give her my ideas for what I want and I never know exactly what it will look like or colors until the day of. I love giving her the freedom to be original. 

My favorite tattoo so far is probably my evil donut on my forearm. He gets a lot of attention.

Have 11 tattoos with many more planned.


I guess my favorite thing about getting tattoos is its such a stress reliever for me.

I dont really have a favorite style yet, so far i have all grey scale, plan on getting some color soon though. Have to say my favorite piece is the one on my back, its a scarab beetle with the cycles of the moon around it.

I love rock/emo tattoos, but only in others. I don`t want to get any 4 a few reasons.

1. They don`t fit my personal aesthetic. I`m too gerardcore 4 dis !!!

2. I would be afraid I`d regret it l8er.

3. I am 15.

4. I have trypanophobia (which means I`m uncomfy around needlez).

however i`m attracted to tatts in others ahh so attractive !!

I have 9 tattoos! Two larger pieces that cover my forearms and the rest are smaller.  I plan on getting my entire body covered in one cohesive piece some day, but it’s expensive and my artist lives 8hrs away (๑⃙⃘°̧̧̧ㅿ°̧̧̧๑⃙⃘)

I absolutely have tattoos! I love them.


I love everything about them. Especially how I feel after all the hard work is done. 
I have 4 technically.... 2 big ones and two littler ones. 
My favorite one is the sleeve. That arm is dedicated to my dad. May he rest in peace.

I've got a tattoo.  Full back piece.  I think what I enjoy most about it is the story it will always tell.  It also was just a wonderful feeling especially the shading

I have lost count of how many tattoos I have! (And how many I've given!) 

I work most comfortably in Watercolor, American Traditional and Mandala/Tribal.

Starting out in the tattoo world just as the pandemic hit has been a literal blessing. It keeps us focused, learning, making art and meeting so many cool, creative aand genuine people. Annnnnnnd it's pretty much kept me sane and growing. I'll never ever do anything else

I have 18 tattoos!! I have Anxiety heavy so there's not much I like about the process and the lead up/ getting it done can be overwhelming! But I love the fact you can walk around after with cool ass ink for the rest of your life! They get very moreish tho hahah! I have mostly Black work spooky tattoos but I like realism too! I have Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in realism on my arm and its my fave tattoo to date!

I think I'm the last person on spacehey. Legit wish I could figure out how to add photos of my art.. I feel ignorant, and not the blissful kind lol.

I have some pretty big tats. But if I had to count I'd be at 15-16rn. Need to finish my throat, and get my chest & back done. And the rest of my hand.

I've got two! 

I love the thrill of getting them done.

My first tattoo was done in St. Louis, it's a lizard on my shoulder. Then, I had the Yiga symbol (upside down Sheikah symbol) from Legend of Zelda BotW put on my leg in SoCal.

Later this month I'm getting a B-2 Spirit stealth aircraft put on my arm when I visit Los Angeles.

There are so many awesome art styles, but I like the simplistic, bold, all-black ink tattoos for myself.
