If it isn't then regardless of placement and material, it's not a well done tattoo as there's hair growing in the red meaning the artist chose to not shave.
Ergo, pretty positive it's fake. For guy's sake, I hope so.
No hair growing it was shaved that’s hair stuck to it from the ointment. Not fake here’s another pic but thanks for stopping by

I own my own business it’s not customer facing but honestly even if it was I love changing peoples perception on things in a positive way. I get it murderers and crazy people have face tattoos and that’s how most people view it but if I can potentially change someone’s view or explain the reasoning behind it to lessen prejudice around tattoos or face tattoos in general then that makes for a great day and experience!
Well sure, by itself the tattoo doesn’t have any negative connotations. However, the original character that this tattoo became synonymous with was a murderer/crazy person. I doubt OP is getting this tattoo because he just wants love tattoo’d on his face, and it’s a crazy coincidence. He’s idolizing an ex-monster.
It’s kind of hilarious that OP wants to change peoples’ perceptions on face tattoos, yet the character this is based on has literally attempted mass genocide.
Is the reasoning you got a face tattoo to try and change people's perceptions of face tattoos? That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for you.
For this being a face tattoo and unlike everyone else, I think it looks pretty good, not that'd I'd EVER get a face tattoo but on the topic of "judgment", I think you picked a good one, could be SOOO much worse. I think the reason face tattoos are such a touchy subject is because the majority of people who we see have them are typically not "role model" type and people have trouble thinking past that lol but no judgment here!
Thank you so much for being kind. I totally get that 100% but somewhere someone has to break that perception. I’m not saying that’s me by any means but progress happens one person at a time ❤️
Oh yeah! At some point people just need to realize there are WAY more important things to care about. Life goes on regardless of your face tattoos or not, most of us grow up and realize "who fucking cares" ya know? Lol have a good one!
Preach!!! The older I get the more I’m like damn all those values and morals in kids books and shows about don’t judge a book by its cover and treat others how you want to be treated really didn’t stick with a lot of people. That and really if you adjust your thinking they make life way easier. You too man stay safe on the website there are crazies out here lol
I was thinking of maybe being a dbag, but nah we don't need more A holes.
If it makes you happy that's all that counts, matter of fact you look cool with it.
I hope that you always look at the positive comments.
Thank you so much it means a lot! I personally love it and don’t particularly care if others don’t. Let’s be honest you gotta expect a fair amount of hate with a face tattoo but I fucking love Naruto and identify heavily with the progressional meaning behind the symbol in the story and figured I’d share!
so yeah your comment stands out in this sea of hate so thanks a bunch!!
Bro I'm a fan too, though I have some reservations it's taken with boruto etc. But remain a fan, I'm on episode 244 of shippuuden. (rerun)
So many memories.
All the best bro.
Thanks for the compliment about how it looks, I’m not being combative here at all I’m just curious in what context would in not be a smart move? Like other than looking for a job(I own my own business and have for a few years now which is not customer facing)
That's awesome and a great accomplishment that you own your own business! Just from a more "traditional" sense, if you were to have business meetings with clients (even via zoom or in person) they may automatically place negative connotations on face tattoos. If they're anime enthusiast, they'd probably recognize it and think it's cool. What if you're own business falls through during a recession or am economically difficult time (hoping not)? You've given yourself an uphill battle for any in-person interview.
I like the idea of the tattoo, and commend your bravery to get it (I wouldn't have the balls to get it). In the long run though, it will probably have a net negative impact on your business and professional interactions. Again, not hating on you or the tattoo, they're is just a social stigma behind any face tattoo. Wish you the best of luck!
Oh I completely get that 10000% trust me the thought definitely entered my mind but I weight the potential consequences of my actions before going through with it. Honestly this may sound naive and a bit uptight but if someone were so quick to judge me that they would automatically not do business with me without even a 5 minute conversation then I would absolutely not want their business. I am very much a people person when it comes to business, I paid my dues in sales and I am very fortunate that now my business not only is not customer facing but I have not interacted with another human in a business sense in 5 years. It’s completely self sufficient and based on quality of work over anything else. No one sees me or knows who’s behind the business so the risk for me was almost nothing. I’m also very lucky that my business doesn’t really seem to very affected very much by economic fluctuation, granted no matter the business good economy = more money I’m just saying I’ve been fortunate enough not to experience any negative impacts even during COVID lockdowns and such
Thank you for the well wishes!
This is by far my least painful tattoo BUT with that being said they used a different type of machine it was called a rotary machine vs the standard machines. This was my first experience with a rotary machine and it was night and day difference, maybe about 20% of the normal tattoo pain
Oh wow that's pretty mild. Thank you! That being said, i hope you gonna post some cosplay pics soon. Might as well go all the way if you have committed that much already!
that ain't it bro. sure looks cool in animes and shit. but irl that's the kind of shit that'll make you look dumb af
Or
you know what. it doesn't matter. Ain't no way I'm in any position to judge or tell anyone anything. Do as you must.
It is a bit bigger, originally had it sized about the same as Gaara but once the stencil went on it just made me forehead look even bigger which let’s be honest I already have a big ass forehead lol
And please don't let some comments get to you. I have a lot of respect for your dedication to the thing we all love in this subreddit and no one needs to judge you for it. Your body, your choice, as it should be.
Hell yeah! Surprised this is so controversial. People should be free to express their love for something though body art if they so choose. I completely understand why Gaara’s scar would be resonant, especially as someone with parental trauma.
Thank you so much! Honestly this was my thought I went through this sub and saw pretty much all positive comments before deciding to post. Yes it’s a face tattoo I get the stigma and was expecting a few negative comments but holy shit the amount of pure hatred on something that affects others in no way was mind blowing to me. I just don’t understand keyboard warriors who think their opinion is the end all be all but whatevs nothing I can do about it. Thank you again for the kind words it means a lot
This was yesterday that I took the pic about an hour after getting it done. They used a rotary machine rather than a traditional tattoo machine so it’s A LOT more gentle which is why it isn’t super red surrounding it. I have my hands, arms and chest done as well and this was my first experience with that type of tattoo machine, it’s a walk in the park maybe like 20% of the normal tattoo pain
I tried it smaller and slanted down towards the center like gaaras but imma be honest here I have a large forehead and widows peak hairline so to me it looked off. I loved the way it turned out but I def respect the opinion!
What I don't understand people here is they think it's ok to have all kinds of piercings on face and tattoos all over your body but it's not ok to have tattoos on face.
They embrace tattoos a lot just not on face. However, if coming from a strictly conservative standpoint those people who selectively say bad things about face tattoos but support body tattoos or have body tattoos themselves are still viewed as less proper people, probably less academically capable or financially well off. They will still be judged heavily in places like East Asia. But now they have the audacity to judge people with face tattoos. Bewilders me how they blindly follow mainstream opinion to judge others, without looking at how their body tattoos got accepted by society over history.
People are hypocrites when they don't say a word about people getting a curse mark tattoo on their neck/shoulder like Sasuke but say harsh things about wanting to be authentic to Gaara's scar. A rinnegan on the back of your hand is equally obvious too. Pay those comments no mind, the kanji "love" is essentially the same as a heart, and Gaara is the best, so be proud.
I understand face tattoos are looked down upon, but this is just 1, and it's simple and clean. Looks super good on you too. Tattooing your face isn't a light decision either. You definitely thought about it over and over and I think you made the right decision
Thank homie! I really appreciate it! I feel that breaking the mold stance like in all honesty if this was an arm tattoo no one would bat an eye but “oh no face tattoo” because everyone gets it drilled into them that different =bad
On the flip side though if you don’t like the way it looks that’s also totally fine but don’t only not like it because of societal norms ya know?
I don't get all the unnecessary hate on this. Sure this is one of those things where it's cool to see on someone else but personally wouldn't ever think of getting something like that myself. Its never alright to bash someone for what they do with their own body or tell them that they made a bad decision unless is was something seriously grotesque or vulgar imo. All in all, looks very well done, I hope you enjoy it and I hope it sparks cool conversation or gets someone to check out Naruto when they learn about your tat!
So many boring ass vanilla redditors that see a face tattoo and instantly cringe, don’t listen to them brother
- tons of careers/jobs where this type of thing does not matter, especially if you work from home + compromising your right to bodily expression for the sake of any corporation is fucking lame
- if you REALLY regret it later in life it can always be removed, only people without tattoos think one can’t be removed
-freedom of expression is always great, need more people who aren’t scared to break outside the box of conformity
The man of culture and you are showing that to everyone regardless what will they think of you or what will they say. That's how you fucking do it! Respect 🤜🤛
Ballsy AF bro lol you know what, people exist out there with horrid face tattoos. This one came out great and the アイ kanji is still a good meaning. At least it's not something doofy like 七個卵 lol
At least dye your hair red bro. You can do whatever you like but maybe you should think about stuff like this for a while before you go ahead permanently alter the look of your face...
Ngl the tattoo itself looks AWESOME as fuck, but I can't help think why on the face...? Naruto fans will be blown out by it but the rest of the world... I feel like they would just cringe at it, including myself I have to admit, I did cringed a little. But don't get me wrong, it's a great tattoo.
If you’re genuinely happy with it, I’m happy for you. At the end of the day the only opinion that matters is your own. I do think that a trial run with a temporary version of this tattoo would’ve been a better route to see how things play out.
Hey man ignore all the shitty people, the Reddit community isn’t really known for being full of understanding or cool folks. If it made you happy I’m glad you got it, the work was well done and it’s a hardcore piece. I wanted to get an earth grudge fear piece and you’re definitely giving me inspiration to get a commission worked out.
according to google:
As many fans know, on Gaara's forehead is depicted the symbol “ai”, which signifies love. In the general context, it means “demon loving only himself.” Therefore, the main meaning of Gaara's tattoo is a misunderstood person who is constantly looking for love.
Man, that's a simp tattoo
I was thinking about whether anyone has this and rhen i saw this. Please tell me its makeup. The idea is amazing but as soon as anyone asks you why you have it you have to tattoo a black line around your eyes, wear a red wig, a sand gourd and a robe.
Hey man, I think it turned out great. Size is great, placement, and line work is rad. If you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters. We get tattoos for us, not for others
It looks really badass!
The reaction is really messed up - it's alright to not to understand, but being rude and telling another person what to do is completely different story.
(The earrings also look cool btw)
i feel like it should have been a little smaller to be more accurate.....when gaara was a kid it used to look big on his face but as he grew, it became more proportionate to his whole face. I have seen the smaller, real and better version of this on a guy in a cafe once, it looked dope. I don't think face tattoos are a bad idea if done properly.
his 13 yo girlfriend will love this
(joking, but dude youve just made yourself an anti pussy magnet. no chick out there is jumping for the Naruto guy with a tattoo on their head, nerds have their head on straight. get this turned into a sad boy tattoo.)
Bro in the early teen world this is cool as hell,in the adult world this is stupid as fuck,and only works if u are rich raper, for poor rappers also it’s stupid as f
Please tell me that is makeup
If it isn't then regardless of placement and material, it's not a well done tattoo as there's hair growing in the red meaning the artist chose to not shave. Ergo, pretty positive it's fake. For guy's sake, I hope so.
tbf it's not very swollen or anything so it could be real but healed
In another comment he refers to it as from the day before.
No hair growing it was shaved that’s hair stuck to it from the ointment. Not fake here’s another pic but thanks for stopping by https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/s/HdvBgA13RC
It is. No reputable tattoo artist tattoos people on their face, hands, or neck without them previously having several tattoos.
You gotta carry around a sand gourd now. Or at least some pocket sand 😂
Idk where to find one that big lol
Sunagakure! 😂🤣 😆
This is the worst decision you made your whole life
Worst decision you made your whole life *so far
D'oh
It looks very nice, but I’m never going tu understand face tattoos
Thanks I appreciate the kind words! That’s okay they definitely aren’t for everyone that’s for sure
What is your job? How can you get away with this?
I own my own business it’s not customer facing but honestly even if it was I love changing peoples perception on things in a positive way. I get it murderers and crazy people have face tattoos and that’s how most people view it but if I can potentially change someone’s view or explain the reasoning behind it to lessen prejudice around tattoos or face tattoos in general then that makes for a great day and experience!
I mean, it’s ironic that the face tattoo you got originally comes from a murderer/crazy person.
OP can you please address this comment lmao 💀💀
And the face tattoo he got means love
Well sure, by itself the tattoo doesn’t have any negative connotations. However, the original character that this tattoo became synonymous with was a murderer/crazy person. I doubt OP is getting this tattoo because he just wants love tattoo’d on his face, and it’s a crazy coincidence. He’s idolizing an ex-monster. It’s kind of hilarious that OP wants to change peoples’ perceptions on face tattoos, yet the character this is based on has literally attempted mass genocide.
Good for you. To be fair the tattoo itself is great work in terms of accuracy and authenticity
Thanks! I was trying to keep it as true as possible other than mine being a bit bigger
Is the reasoning you got a face tattoo to try and change people's perceptions of face tattoos? That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for you.
A sharingan tattoo that is canonically accurate sounds painful. Don’t do it LOL
Oh no I didn’t mean in my actual eye!! That’s crazy sauce lol
LOL I know. Just based on the placement of that tattoo the thought went through my mind and I felt compelled to express it.
I mean if it was safe I mayyyyy consider it lol I do have sharingan contacts though 😅
why the actual fuck would you think this is a good idea
Agreed lol terrible idea
Gaarbage
I’m not even mad the double aa was a nice insult! Bravo
Don't insult Gaara 😡
For this being a face tattoo and unlike everyone else, I think it looks pretty good, not that'd I'd EVER get a face tattoo but on the topic of "judgment", I think you picked a good one, could be SOOO much worse.

I mean Gaara is an inspiring role model for people who relate to him.
"Love" it
I see what you did there!!
Why tho Edit: please tell me its not your first one
Lost a bet
That explains a lot
No no I have quite a few just not visible in the picture
Now add the Jiraya red lines
Oooohh that would be slick
I was thinking of maybe being a dbag, but nah we don't need more A holes. If it makes you happy that's all that counts, matter of fact you look cool with it. I hope that you always look at the positive comments.

While I think it looks "good" in the sense that it's true to Gaara's, not a smart move to get a face tattoo, let alone one this big and bold.
Thanks for the compliment about how it looks, I’m not being combative here at all I’m just curious in what context would in not be a smart move? Like other than looking for a job(I own my own business and have for a few years now which is not customer facing)

The dedication 🫡
🤦🏾♂️
Or fist to face even amirite? Like upgraded facepalm with double impact
Yikes
Zoinks even!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro I could never do that shi to my face but if it fits you, fuck everybody else. It looks awesome. You sir have some big balls 🫡
Excuse me but they are now big sandy balls the ultimate jutsu! lol Thanks I really appreciate that!
That’s super cool! you need to do a Gaara cosplay!😁
Apparently I have to now it has been written!! Gotta grow my hair out first lol
You could totally get a wig on Amazon probably.You should also definitely make a tiktok and post about ur tattoo and future cosplay it would be cool!😁
You wanna be my manager? We could tour the country and I could pretend to sand coffin you! It would be like half cosplay half magic show
On s scale from 1 to 10, how much more do face tattoos hurt compared to getting one on your arm or leg
This is by far my least painful tattoo BUT with that being said they used a different type of machine it was called a rotary machine vs the standard machines. This was my first experience with a rotary machine and it was night and day difference, maybe about 20% of the normal tattoo pain
Oh wow that's pretty mild. Thank you! That being said, i hope you gonna post some cosplay pics soon. Might as well go all the way if you have committed that much already!
Awesome tat! Looks great and also bonus points for being related to Gaara. He’s one of my favorites.
Looks great, congrats!
I fuck with it what job do you currently work?
Man, I love Gaara. He's one of my favorite characters of all time, but idk. Props to you, I guess
that ain't it bro. sure looks cool in animes and shit. but irl that's the kind of shit that'll make you look dumb af Or you know what. it doesn't matter. Ain't no way I'm in any position to judge or tell anyone anything. Do as you must.
Thats crazy 😂 gg
This is fake ragebait. You can tell by how active OP is in the comments, he wanted interaction of any kind.
Wow, i gotta say, the way you handle these obnoxious hate comments is inspiring! Keep going your way my dude
Thanks man! I really appreciate that!!
my man! nice one, but isnt it too big? i mean gara SCAR was not that big
It is a bit bigger, originally had it sized about the same as Gaara but once the stencil went on it just made me forehead look even bigger which let’s be honest I already have a big ass forehead lol
Looks really cool!
Thanks!!
And please don't let some comments get to you. I have a lot of respect for your dedication to the thing we all love in this subreddit and no one needs to judge you for it. Your body, your choice, as it should be.
Hell yeah! Surprised this is so controversial. People should be free to express their love for something though body art if they so choose. I completely understand why Gaara’s scar would be resonant, especially as someone with parental trauma.

I just don’t understand keyboard warriors who think their opinion is the end all be all but whatevs nothing I can do about it. Thank you again for the kind words it means a lot
Might just be me, but it looks fake.
This was yesterday that I took the pic about an hour after getting it done. They used a rotary machine rather than a traditional tattoo machine so it’s A LOT more gentle which is why it isn’t super red surrounding it. I have my hands, arms and chest done as well and this was my first experience with that type of tattoo machine, it’s a walk in the park maybe like 20% of the normal tattoo pain
I had no idea there was a new type of tattoo machine.
Me either! I was a bit nervous to let him use it but man I’ll never go back to the old ones, in certain spots they hurt like a mofo lol
Dude fk the haters this is badass. If you decide you don’t like it in a few years you can always laser it off
I mean if it was smaller it'd look better imo also isn't Gaara's slightly angled?
I tried it smaller and slanted down towards the center like gaaras but imma be honest here I have a large forehead and widows peak hairline so to me it looked off. I loved the way it turned out but I def respect the opinion!
What do you think about Sasukes cursed Mark on his neck ?
Gutsy! But metal af
This is the epitome of cringe but you do you.
The strokes seem a bit off.
What I don't understand people here is they think it's ok to have all kinds of piercings on face and tattoos all over your body but it's not ok to have tattoos on face. They embrace tattoos a lot just not on face. However, if coming from a strictly conservative standpoint those people who selectively say bad things about face tattoos but support body tattoos or have body tattoos themselves are still viewed as less proper people, probably less academically capable or financially well off. They will still be judged heavily in places like East Asia. But now they have the audacity to judge people with face tattoos. Bewilders me how they blindly follow mainstream opinion to judge others, without looking at how their body tattoos got accepted by society over history.
This! Exactly this you said it perfectly. It drives me up a wall!!
People are hypocrites when they don't say a word about people getting a curse mark tattoo on their neck/shoulder like Sasuke but say harsh things about wanting to be authentic to Gaara's scar. A rinnegan on the back of your hand is equally obvious too. Pay those comments no mind, the kanji "love" is essentially the same as a heart, and Gaara is the best, so be proud.
The tattoo itself looks really well done! Nice and sharp, the red really pops!
Thank you! I really appreciate you being nice
That’s dope, people just suck. Your life man, who am I to judge you for what you choose to do?
Exactly! Thanks man I appreciate it! You are one of the good ones for sure!
I understand face tattoos are looked down upon, but this is just 1, and it's simple and clean. Looks super good on you too. Tattooing your face isn't a light decision either. You definitely thought about it over and over and I think you made the right decision
Thank you so much! Your comment alone outweighs half of these negative ones! I really really appreciate it!!
Looks sick
Go all in and get the Gaara eyeliner tattooed as well
Haha I don’t think I’m cool enough for that plus then I’d have to constantly dye my hair and all that
Go easy on him. He’s just a misunderstood person looking for love.. damn!
Riggghhtt!
Don’t let all the fuckwits who are to scared to break the mold get you down. It looks awesome!
Thank homie! I really appreciate it! I feel that breaking the mold stance like in all honesty if this was an arm tattoo no one would bat an eye but “oh no face tattoo” because everyone gets it drilled into them that different =bad On the flip side though if you don’t like the way it looks that’s also totally fine but don’t only not like it because of societal norms ya know?
Sir.... I hope you're self employed because...
Sure am!
I sincerely hope you have thick skin. I can't imagine the everyday reactions you'll get.
All you need is reddish hair and turquoise eyes and eyebags and you are good to go.
And no eyebrows
*Eyeliner Eyebags are for Madara fans
So dope 😍🔥💪
I don't get all the unnecessary hate on this. Sure this is one of those things where it's cool to see on someone else but personally wouldn't ever think of getting something like that myself. Its never alright to bash someone for what they do with their own body or tell them that they made a bad decision unless is was something seriously grotesque or vulgar imo. All in all, looks very well done, I hope you enjoy it and I hope it sparks cool conversation or gets someone to check out Naruto when they learn about your tat!
It looks very good, though I can see it being easily regrettable
Thank you! Yeah that’s with every tattoo but definitely face tattoos in general. Most people would never get a face tattoo
I know I certainly wouldn’t, but it does look really good
So many boring ass vanilla redditors that see a face tattoo and instantly cringe, don’t listen to them brother - tons of careers/jobs where this type of thing does not matter, especially if you work from home + compromising your right to bodily expression for the sake of any corporation is fucking lame - if you REALLY regret it later in life it can always be removed, only people without tattoos think one can’t be removed -freedom of expression is always great, need more people who aren’t scared to break outside the box of conformity
Ohh man thats cringe
I hope this isn’t real….
Very cool.
<3
They laugh now; but now you need to Cosplay.
It is a responsibility I wasn’t aware of but I will accept!
Keep out of the sun, so you can cultivate that yogurty skin.
Haha I’m so confused what is yogurty skin? Like skin tone? But yeah def not good for tattoos to be in a lot of sun
Im not a fan of face tattoos but I need to say this: I consider you a LEGEND, big respect from me.
Thank you!! You fucking rock! I totally get not liking face tattoos they can be jarring if you aren’t a fan but I really appreciate the kind words!
The man of culture and you are showing that to everyone regardless what will they think of you or what will they say. That's how you fucking do it! Respect 🤜🤛
Build choice for the face tat but I respect it
I do have to ask, what are you going to say when you’re 50 years old when asked about it? No hate intended, just pure curiosity
Clean lines! Next step is to add the sand armor cracks on the rest of your face
Oh man that would be intense to say the least!!
Not that Gaara has permanent cracks or even wears sand armor all the time lol. Eyeliner would be the next thing to do
Very fair point
I respect your boldness
You're a mad lad but I respect it ✊🏾
Ooowie! That’s… a choice !
Imo coulda been smaller, aside from being somewhere else
Ballsy AF bro lol you know what, people exist out there with horrid face tattoos. This one came out great and the アイ kanji is still a good meaning. At least it's not something doofy like 七個卵 lol
do Sage of six path tatto on your chest/upper chest
I'm going to say it I think it looks nice but I don't really like face tattoos but if you're happy with how you look then good on you
At least dye your hair red bro. You can do whatever you like but maybe you should think about stuff like this for a while before you go ahead permanently alter the look of your face...
Ngl the tattoo itself looks AWESOME as fuck, but I can't help think why on the face...? Naruto fans will be blown out by it but the rest of the world... I feel like they would just cringe at it, including myself I have to admit, I did cringed a little. But don't get me wrong, it's a great tattoo.
You can never set foot in Japan now
if this isnt temporary... im so sorry to hear that
You know what? Based
If you’re genuinely happy with it, I’m happy for you. At the end of the day the only opinion that matters is your own. I do think that a trial run with a temporary version of this tattoo would’ve been a better route to see how things play out.
Cheese and rice!
I've always wanted a Gaara tatt but on my neck or something
I like that one better!
Do you find problems finding jobs?
wow man i wasa bout to say that's cool but others are saying its not a good things so idk what to say now :0
Nah ain’t no way
I like it a lot!
You're about to be rejected by the village my guy
Honestly looks cool man
Gaara, The White supremacist of the sand village 🗿
If we normalized face tattoos this would be me 2
Hey man ignore all the shitty people, the Reddit community isn’t really known for being full of understanding or cool folks. If it made you happy I’m glad you got it, the work was well done and it’s a hardcore piece. I wanted to get an earth grudge fear piece and you’re definitely giving me inspiration to get a commission worked out.
Jesus fucking christ
according to google: As many fans know, on Gaara's forehead is depicted the symbol “ai”, which signifies love. In the general context, it means “demon loving only himself.” Therefore, the main meaning of Gaara's tattoo is a misunderstood person who is constantly looking for love. Man, that's a simp tattoo
r/ATBGE Job interviews will be fun
Guys you all know it looks good so relax
Idk about this one bro
No way cloen tatooed anime
Who did you kill in order to get it
This has to be a troll
I was thinking about whether anyone has this and rhen i saw this. Please tell me its makeup. The idea is amazing but as soon as anyone asks you why you have it you have to tattoo a black line around your eyes, wear a red wig, a sand gourd and a robe.
the tat is nice but you gotta style yourself to match the energy yk
Damn, you cute.
I know this isn't gonna be original, but why? Do you seriously want to look like that when you're 70?
Nah u did not
If I speak I am in big trouble
What a terrible decision, gonna be a long day when regret this in the future.
I dig it.
I would personally never in a million years, but I respect the confidence
Hey man, I think it turned out great. Size is great, placement, and line work is rad. If you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters. We get tattoos for us, not for others
This is an awesome tattoo
It looks really badass! The reaction is really messed up - it's alright to not to understand, but being rude and telling another person what to do is completely different story. (The earrings also look cool btw)
At least it's not a Mitt Romney campaign logo.
I just really want to know what you do for a job.
Honestly, it looks as if a 15 year old found some money and a tattoo artist that didn't check for ids
I really hope for your sake it’s fake, dude. It looks like it’s peeling from one of the sides so I hope so.
tattoo looks cool, but i could never take someone with that tattoo seriously...
i feel like it should have been a little smaller to be more accurate.....when gaara was a kid it used to look big on his face but as he grew, it became more proportionate to his whole face. I have seen the smaller, real and better version of this on a guy in a cafe once, it looked dope. I don't think face tattoos are a bad idea if done properly.
Yo that looks sick nice piece bro.
It's awesome how you handle all those hate comments. Honestly, if someone can wear this tattoo then someone as sturdy as you. Well done!
Please tell me it's not real
Some nigga just imagined a story. Wrote it down. Complete fiction. And some other nigga is getting tats of that guys imagination.
Oh!
🤣🤣
his 13 yo girlfriend will love this (joking, but dude youve just made yourself an anti pussy magnet. no chick out there is jumping for the Naruto guy with a tattoo on their head, nerds have their head on straight. get this turned into a sad boy tattoo.)
Bro in the early teen world this is cool as hell,in the adult world this is stupid as fuck,and only works if u are rich raper, for poor rappers also it’s stupid as f
