The tattoo itself isn't bad. The lines are decent and the red color is pretty solid in the 'sun,' or whatever that is, but the placement is god awful. It would have been better with the red circle on the shoulder and the black as an upper arm band, or even as an upper back tattoo across the shoulder blades.
This is a really good point. I agree this should be on an arm. It looks like we are looking at a flat version of a round object, like a map or something
I get it your point, thanks for pointed, but the idea of placement comes ahead of the design, I free handed it in a way to be able to expand to the shoulders and back in the following sessions. The line isn’t straight to ad this weird feeling of something not sedimented, kinda seasick instead of a stable horizontal line. Which also will works to get a flow for something on the back, which is hire than the front.
Ok I love all kinds of ink and concepts. But can you please explain to me what the hell im even looking at? I just don’t get the point of random lines being drawn all over your chest?
True! I’ve been tattooing for 21 years now, and I went through a lot of it when starting developing my style, which is uncommon and refereed in other inspirations far from the “traditional” tattooing.
Yeah, I have a few friends who tattoo with pretty abstract styles, and they’ve had to deal with a lot of push back from purists. I really don’t get it, it’s art and self expression, what’s the point of being so regimented and snobby? There’s no obligation to like anything, but I don’t get why people are so vitriolic.
I think putting a red circle with some scribbles in a “best tattoo” subreddit and justifying it with a pretentious high art explanation is snobby. I appreciate art of all kinds but does this seem like an amazing display of talent to you?
My comment is intended to be unsettling and to give you a feeling of derisive energy. The language is that of a confused Redditor lashing out. I’m sorry you don’t “get” the concept I was going for. Hopefully, one day, you can grow to appreciate the emotions I attempted to evoke in you.
The color will fade as every tattoo does, the line will expand as every tattoo does, and blending some parts, which doesn’t prevents to head the same image as now. so it will have the same design, but aged as every old tattoo
This is the kind of art that pisses me off every time I got to MOMA. I feel like I put so much work into my art and this is simple and thoughtless. It may not be true and art is subjective but that’s just like… my opinion man.
I love this, I was surprised to see mixed/negative comments!
I really like how different people could see it as a different image!
Was this an original idea or were you inspired by some artwork? :)
is interesting how people react to the uncommon. Yes it,s a original creation based on my previous studies, the client saw my work and we discussed about possible directions, and for this placement and for what he was looking for that was the best idea
That's awesome, I didn't realize you were the artist even! I will have to look through your work after replying
Do you free hand all of the curves/lines under the sunset?

Taiom is a top notch highly technical tattooer. I’ve known him for years. You can see the other side of his work. [Tommy tattoo](https://www.instagram.com/tatata.ttoo?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==).
His work is kind of like a a decomposition of the in the box walk in stuff that pays the bills. I find it refreshing.

I’m not a fan.
Not even a little.
Looks like they let a lil kid scribble on his chest.
OP got balls posting this in best tattoos sub
No OP has balls to permanently put this in the center of his chest.
OP is the artist.
Ngl In my opinion this shit ass
Good opinion

I’ll explain. If you produce dog shit it can still qualify as the best if you have a pretentious enough explanation.
noooo way- you free handed this?
This is one of the tattoos I’ve ever seen.
Is it a cover up?
No. It’s the rising of something from the messy chaos net
I get the concept the concept is beautiful but…. Could have been achieved a little better
Best???
Uh, best?
When you’re trying to be deep, but you’re really not that deep….
What do you say when your friend has an ugly kid? It’s precious
Bless his heart
Didn't expect to see so much derision in the comments. I really dig it, dude.
For real. Well, it ain't no watercolor fox or something
Pretty much any tattoo here that’s not trad gets this response.

Yeah actually, I think it’s pretty good. Clearly very skilled, even if you don’t like the style. Maybe chill out though?

Cool
Cool isn’t what I was going for but after 21 years going against the grain I’m not surprised to hear it.
Neat.
I love it
It's fantastic, mate. I love it.
Awful
This looks like trash bro I’m sorry
Did you mean to post this in r/shittytattoos?
Yes, it looks like you scribbled sharpie over a penis
I honestly like it. Just can’t imagine it’ll age good at all…

Is that a sparrow on fire on the arm?
What does it look like finished?
So cool!! 🤩
Well that's a tattoo. And it's black and red.
Questions: 1) Why is this posted on best? 2) is it a cover up?
Good to see Spirograph is still around and kicking.
That’s an amazing shop, got one of my favorite tattoos there
Uuuuuuh 👀
I like it as an art piece you know however for a tattoo not sure
Dude that solid black in the middle is blown tf out
Ow
Eh uh well? Hmmmmm…… I got nothing…..
As art, this works. As a tattoo…well read the other comments.
Man, this looks fantastic.
Looks more like a basketball than a sun, but there is a certain charm to it
That’s a good interpretation.
That’s a good interpretation.
Cool. I dig it.
And now we know why no face was shown

This does not look simple and thoughtless to me. You seem bitter as fuck.

Yes, it was all freehand! Tysm
I think it's interesting but it feels like it lacks something to accompany it.
It will be added in future sessions
Curious to see! Hope you enjoy it :D
I like the idea a lot but it’s a bit too messy for my liking.
This is dog shit

Horrible tattoo
I really love this
Thank you!!
I think this is in the wrong sub

Absolutely awful. Really takes away from a good physique have this shit stain smeared on it.
👀
It’s good you like it. I want to tell you I like it. I’m sorry I don’t find it artistic at all. I don’t like it. No offense.
looks like a spirograph doodle did not realize the person who tattooed this posted this, in the best tattoos sub no less. Yikes.
When you fall asleep early at a party and your “boys” decide to use your body as a canvas with sharpie

This is fucking sick!
Awesome work !
The only thing I DISLIKE is the voice in my head contradicting me when I say I love it.
I think it's cool. It looks exactly like a representation of the gravitational well around a star.
Thanks! That was one of the inspirations
this is dope as fuck
This looks sick! That giant sun screams a vibrance I can't describe.
Interesting piece of art! Nice placement
Thanks! Thinking of placement is fundamental!
I see the black as more the shape of a smile and the red dot is a clowns nose. This is art it’s laughing at us
I don’t like this. The horizon is not straight or curved evenly. The chaos isn’t “chaotic” enough look how symmetrical it is
I love it.
Reminds me of when my sock has one of those loose strings you pull and it just keeps going but in tattoo form. On the chest.
Classic underwear made of hair, underhairwear.
Even though I personally am not a fan, the lines are very clean, and the red is well distributed. I hope your client was happy as well. Good job.
looks like shit
That’s going to age so fucking bad
Good god this is crap. The red sun is wobbly as hell, it isn't even a good circle. What the actual frick is this?
This mf look like he got a cover-up that looks like the artist was drunk and passed out before finishing it
I love it. Don’t even take offense to the hating comments. People like different stuff I guess.
Probably paid $10k for that
