[Image] There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading to the top. The only ones wasting time are those who run in circles around the mountain, telling others that their path is wrong.

No matter where you are on your way up the mountain, and no matter what path you are on, I hope to see you at the top. Safe travels until our paths cross again!

tattoo meaning

hii, can someone tell me if these tattoos have a specific meaning? thanks!

Would a tattoo of this style, size and placement be too much for a first tattoo?

Black & Gray Eye Tattoo by Elf at Emerald Tattoo & Piercing - Lodi, California

Would this be a good tatoo? I want this butI don't know how realistic this design .

I wanted to know if this is even possible. I also wanted to know where a design like this would work best. I was thinking back or forearm.

My scoliosis/spinal fusion commemoration tattoo

I have had severe scoliosis for most of my life. I have a genetic disorder that caused it. I had my first back surgery when I was 8 years old, when they drilled two metal rods into my spine held into place with screws. It was so severe that my organs were in danger of being damaged by my spine, so we didn’t do bracing, my family had no choice but to go right to surgery. Because I was so young and still growing then, they only fused a few of my vertebrae. But my scoliosis progressed so fast that when I was 12 I needed to have more vertebrae fused. I was fused from T2-T12, all but one of my thoracic vertebrae. Then, at 22, one of my rods cracked and I had to have all my hardware replaced! This tattoo is meant to look like my x ray images, with 2 long metal rods and 14 screws. I wanted a tattoo that was designed with as few lines as possible, to look as much like one continuous line as possible. This is what my artist came up with and I love it. It commemorates a lifetime struggle, and having to go through one of the most hard and painful things I’ve ever done THREE TIMES. I’m so proud of it

Tattoo design I’m working on. Any idea on how to make the third leg less suggestive?

This design is based off of Matisse’s “The Fall of Icarus”. I added a third leg and cockroach antennae as a reference to my favorite book, “The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector. Unfortunately, the third leg looks a bit….phallic, at least in my opinion. Any ideas on how to rework, if it’s even needed?

Need help with cover up design

I got this tattoo to cover up a stick and poke from college. The artist told me he could tattoo over it with skin colored ink but that didn’t work. Can I get ideas on what would look good and cover up the areas that are sticking out on the bottom of skull?

Got the Mandalorian Mythosaur symbol as my first tattoo

Ideas for a cool different semicolon tattoo

I like this but I want something very unique

Is a cover up possible?

I’m looking to change my chest tattoos. I am wondering if I could get them covered up and if so what would be something that could work?
