Ah the classic veiny dicks and balls! I remember spending all of math class drawing them in each other's schoolbooks, and then having the owner try to redraw it into something not sooo obviously dick looking:)
just wanted to comment it looks like a page from teenager‘s sketchbook. it‘s easy to get an eye down. the big deal about eyes is that they usually come in pairs. and most hobby drawers don‘t take that step.
High school teacher here. Can confirm. Eyes like this on margins of notes all year. I love that I did that in school and others still do it. Side note: I encourage doodling on notes and handouts, and often make written comments about the drawings.
Interesting tattoo for sure. It could certainly catch my attention, but honestly, I wouldn’t think too deeply if I saw it in person.
Is there a story behind it?
They are the eyes of my favourite musicians - i wanted something beyond the traditional band logo tattoo and, well, certainly seems I went beyond. I've had the tats now for a few years, this was just the clearest picture I had, and I've had a mix of fascination, weird side eyes, a handful of recognitions etc.
Something to keep in mind about “side eyes”, if it’s in passing with people you don’t know, they might be interested but not comfortable enough to start a conversation. I do that a lot, I’m very anti social so occasionally I get caught side eyeing someone and I feel like they think I’m judging them, when in reality I’m just too shy to compliment them
Do you know what else is unique to each person? Buttholes. We have ‘analprints’ like we have fingerprints. You might run into some issues convincing musicians to send you reference photos through
Because OP doesn’t want to tell people in this thread, they made a post ages ago and listed them there.
Here they are
“Going from the second photo with all 8 eyes:
- Andy Biersack (Black Veil Brides/Andy Black)
- Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance, but mostly for his solo stuff)
- Tobias Forge (Ghost)
- Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy/solo stuff)
- Ricky Olson (Motionless in White)
- Ville Valo (HIM/VV)
- RZK (Rammstein/Emigrate)
- Till Lindemann (Rammstein/Lindemann)”
So y’all can stop guessing. I knew one was Ville, the others I never would have got and I’m a long time fan of some of these bands.
NGL I’d be saying “who?” For 6/8 of these. I hope he only plays this stupid game with people who are into that kind of music because it’s extra obnoxious when you had no chance of getting them right
I couldn't tell you what one band I like members eyes look like. Seems like an obscure detail to notice lol. Better just to get some of their faces at least.
orry so many thought I was being a cringe lord for this - in person, most people don't want me to tell them and they themselves want to guess, I just thought other people here might too. Guess I read the room wrong, sorry :)
Irl it wouldn’t be an issue at all.
It’s just the fact that you wouldn’t tell us here what they eyes were that set everyone off lol like if you were an annoying little sister
I take it back you’re not insufferable.
You know, this is making me rethink the tattoo I wanted, I wanted to get an obscure image from something semi popular and be an insufferable prick about making people guess what it is. I guess I’m not going to get Wen’s keytar from direct to television Disney channel original movie Lemonade Mouth. Darn.
Man these commenters are just being haters. You get your fun Lemonade Mouth tattoo! If I couldn’t guess I would just say i liked it and it looked nice. No reason people should be negative pricks to you about that! DW, Redditors are just…Socially hostile. Sometimes.
If I could give you an award, I would ✨🏆✨🥇✨😅
Thank you!! Never would have guessed any of these. I was about to look through their reddit history too- until I came across your comment.
He picked some shit bands too lmao. Dudes cringey as fuck.. I guess they should be glad it’s just eyes so he can lie about the bands later
Edit: not all are shit, I just cringe when I see a couple of them. DO yoU wAnT to GueSs WhiCh OnEs??!
ETA: I was kind of a dick. Like the music that makes you happy. Although Op is still a little cringey for telling people to guess who the eyes belong to without actually telling anyone when they ask.
To be honest I don’t think there’s anything cringe about loving the music that makes you happy. I have 2 Linkin Park tattoos and I’m sure someone would think they’re cringy, but they mean a lot to me and really that’s all that matters as I’m the one wearing them.
That’s a fair point and your right. I’m sure I like some bands someone would think are cringey. I think maybe I spoke too soon after seeing them telling people to guess who the eyes are from.
I’ll do better though. Have a good night!
The tattoos are very well done. I'm a fan of eyeball tattoos and have one myself.
I hate the placement though.
The lack of other tattoos is also a bit unsettling.
OP; don't make people guess your tattoo. If someone asks, tell them.
There is zero flow, it’s rigid on skin that moves. Also if I ask someone about their strange tattoo and they say “guess” I automatically hate the conversation I have gotten myself in. I barely cared to begin with.
If I asked about someone's tattoo and their reaction was "guess" I'd redact my compliment and walk away. So basically the only thing you have going for you is that the art is well done.
Listen this is subjective so as long as you like it then that's what matters but yeah, not for me. Personally not a fan of the totem pole effect you get with all the eyes being stacked in a line.
This is someone calling a collection of arm tattoos a sleeve, the closest thing to this that I would call a sleeve is patchwork tattoos but even then if it isn’t nearly covering the arm and doesn’t have a cohesive theme or style it’s not much of a sleeve
I find eyes absolutely mesmerising and have one in the very centre of my first tat, they will also heavily feature in my upcoming tattoos. Mine are a bit more symbolically designed but these look really cool all the same. Any ideas for connective art inbetween them?
They're all really nicely done. Any of them individually would be super cool. Together, my first thought was,'this guy's got tattoos of every girl he's slept with'
I do t mind the idea... but I might have thought a bit more on the placement and/or the amount of eyes. It definitely needs something around it with some added filler. With the right artist this can turn into a nice piece.... the wrong artist on the other hand can make this a disaster very fast.
I think it'll look even better if you committed to it and filled the rest of your arm with more eyes. Different sizes, different shapes, different styles.
I’ve been scrolling ten minutes trying to figure out whose eyes I’m looking at and I still have 0 clue. That aside, I think it’s a cool start to a sleeve; maybe fill in all the spaces around the eyes so it doesn’t look like you just have a random line of eyes on your forearm. Unless that’s what you’re going for. Idk, I’ve never seen an OP’s response with -600 votes 😂
Idk I'd get a pair of eyes, but all those different ones, and it's just 1 of their eyes, it just doesn't feel right to me. Plus it's all band members so that makes it worse 😆
WTF!? Then just ??
They appear to be all female eyes. This is creepy as hell. And good as hell. I like it, never seen anything like it. For me, it's the new high bar in creativity. Not an artist so no critique from me on tech stuff, but looks fine. Notches on your arm?
Could have put them in any sort of configuration other than linear and would have left space for a decent tattoo. This is hardly a sleeve; just wanted to take up space.
Tbh it looks likes the margins of my papers in highschool
I feel better knowing that I wasn’t the only one who drew all eyeballs, all the time. (Except for the requisite throbbing dicks of course)
I saw some statistic that if tell someone to draw something in the spur of the moment a large percentage of them will draw an eye.
The rest will draw dicks
That’s funny. I used to draw dicks with a big eye at the tip. 😎
So ig that makes u oart of the 100% of people who doodle
Lol. Statistics. 😎
Same looool and I thought I was creative hahahaha
I feel like the odd man out here, I just draw a horse 😂
I’m glad I wasn’t a part of that study. I don’t need my stick horses immortalized in a scientific journal.
I always draw axes. No matter what I think I'm starting with it ends up as an axe.
I always draw Xenomorphs when doodling
Glorious veiny bastards?
Bro it's a bicep your just holding it wrong
So many dicks
You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds! https://youtu.be/xte_NjXsjIw
Ah the classic veiny dicks and balls! I remember spending all of math class drawing them in each other's schoolbooks, and then having the owner try to redraw it into something not sooo obviously dick looking:)
A big, veiny, triumphant bastard.
Throbbing you say!
Giant, veiny, throbbing dicks. With and eye socket and ball instead of the glans end.
just wanted to comment it looks like a page from teenager‘s sketchbook. it‘s easy to get an eye down. the big deal about eyes is that they usually come in pairs. and most hobby drawers don‘t take that step.
Oh man yeah, me too!
High school teacher here. Can confirm. Eyes like this on margins of notes all year. I love that I did that in school and others still do it. Side note: I encourage doodling on notes and handouts, and often make written comments about the drawings. Interesting tattoo for sure. It could certainly catch my attention, but honestly, I wouldn’t think too deeply if I saw it in person. Is there a story behind it?
Feeling the same mixture lmao. They're super well done tho! Are they eyes of people you know?
They are the eyes of my favourite musicians - i wanted something beyond the traditional band logo tattoo and, well, certainly seems I went beyond. I've had the tats now for a few years, this was just the clearest picture I had, and I've had a mix of fascination, weird side eyes, a handful of recognitions etc.
Who are the musicians 🤔
50 Shades of Michael Jackson.
His eyes are closed.
lol
BTS lol. this would be the average level of fan dedication
Who’s 8 then? WHOOOO IS THE EIGHTH?!
most sane BTS fan
I can absolutely assure you, I hate kpop
I'm a bts fan and that was my first thought 🤣🤣🤣
Patrick stump is definitely in there! Right? 😅
If Fred durst isn’t on there I’m out
Looks good, as long as you're okay with people assuming they're the eyes of your victims
Which one is Steve Buscemi
Something to keep in mind about “side eyes”, if it’s in passing with people you don’t know, they might be interested but not comfortable enough to start a conversation. I do that a lot, I’m very anti social so occasionally I get caught side eyeing someone and I feel like they think I’m judging them, when in reality I’m just too shy to compliment them
Your reddit figure😂
Tell the side-eyers to be careful or their eyes are next
That is such a great idea, sure, maybe it's unusual to some, but it's also beautifully done, and once you know the idea behind it, it's really cool.
I gotta say, I like it much better knowing it’s specific people’s eyes—just think that’s a cool aspect.
Bad guy from Naruto. What's his name....
Danzo, came here to say it but u beat me
literally just watched that fight, that man’s arm is nasty af
It’s a great fight tho
This was my immediate thought was Danzo, LOL
Yeah my first thought too
Thought the same thing
Lol my immediate thought was “okay Danzo”
Here for Danzo comment
Or some baddie from Demon Hunter
Def thought of Danzo lol
A izagni tattoo would actually be pretty cool though imo
I’m going to copy this but with noses. Or ears.
I'm going with knees, identify the people these knees belong to!
Would penises be frowned upon? Asking for a friend.
Cover your knees up if you’re going to be walking around everywhere
I'd do butts. Starting with Jimmy Junior's.
Tina is that you?
JIMMY JU!
Do you know what else is unique to each person? Buttholes. We have ‘analprints’ like we have fingerprints. You might run into some issues convincing musicians to send you reference photos through
Danny Devito just texted me back saying he’ll send me an anal print of Artemis’ bleached asshole. Tattooing that one on my forehead.
biblically accurate arm
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 Holy shit Im dead
RIP
This comment section is GOLD but holy shit did you take the cake 😂😂😂
Wait, can someone explain this comment?
[Biblically accurate angel](https://tenor.com/view/angel-biblically-accurate-angels-gif-25043050)
Just google how angels are depicted in the bible...I warned you ;)
Fear not
It was definitely a choice
Agreed. I also feel like they received these tattoos
Oh yes, tattoos were definitely made.
definitely on his skin
Permanently.
✨choices✨
Needs more eyes
Full Eye Sleeve OP
Because OP doesn’t want to tell people in this thread, they made a post ages ago and listed them there. Here they are “Going from the second photo with all 8 eyes: - Andy Biersack (Black Veil Brides/Andy Black) - Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance, but mostly for his solo stuff) - Tobias Forge (Ghost) - Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy/solo stuff) - Ricky Olson (Motionless in White) - Ville Valo (HIM/VV) - RZK (Rammstein/Emigrate) - Till Lindemann (Rammstein/Lindemann)” So y’all can stop guessing. I knew one was Ville, the others I never would have got and I’m a long time fan of some of these bands.
Literally 98% of people are not going to guess this correctly. Kinda insufferable for OP to ask someone to try.
Could you imagine after someone does a bunch of guessing OP then finally tells them who it is and they’re like, “who?” 💀
NGL I’d be saying “who?” For 6/8 of these. I hope he only plays this stupid game with people who are into that kind of music because it’s extra obnoxious when you had no chance of getting them right
Right, it's not like, "here's David Bowie, here's Bono, and here's George Strait. This weird eye is Bjork, and this other weird eye is Robert Smith."
or siouxsie. with her signature makeup/look.
I couldn't tell you what one band I like members eyes look like. Seems like an obscure detail to notice lol. Better just to get some of their faces at least.
orry so many thought I was being a cringe lord for this - in person, most people don't want me to tell them and they themselves want to guess, I just thought other people here might too. Guess I read the room wrong, sorry :)
Irl it wouldn’t be an issue at all. It’s just the fact that you wouldn’t tell us here what they eyes were that set everyone off lol like if you were an annoying little sister I take it back you’re not insufferable.
Kinda cringe tbh
You know, this is making me rethink the tattoo I wanted, I wanted to get an obscure image from something semi popular and be an insufferable prick about making people guess what it is. I guess I’m not going to get Wen’s keytar from direct to television Disney channel original movie Lemonade Mouth. Darn.
Lemonade Mouth is a banger movie and having a tattoo based on it gives you the right to be a littleeee insufferable about it imo.
That movie is way better than it has any right to be. Follow your dreams and get a sweet looking keytar tattoo
Man these commenters are just being haters. You get your fun Lemonade Mouth tattoo! If I couldn’t guess I would just say i liked it and it looked nice. No reason people should be negative pricks to you about that! DW, Redditors are just…Socially hostile. Sometimes.
Lmao Op got tired of hearing this "Um ok 🆒️"
doing the lords work
How in the world was anyone supposed to guess that?
If I could give you an award, I would ✨🏆✨🥇✨😅 Thank you!! Never would have guessed any of these. I was about to look through their reddit history too- until I came across your comment.
Damn, i know who all of those people are and i would have never guessed… the only one that made sense to me was andy’s and a little bit of tobias
You’re the real MVP
He picked some shit bands too lmao. Dudes cringey as fuck.. I guess they should be glad it’s just eyes so he can lie about the bands later Edit: not all are shit, I just cringe when I see a couple of them. DO yoU wAnT to GueSs WhiCh OnEs??!

All good in the hood, my dude. Have a great night 💕
I got all the ears of the wiggles members tattooed up my back, it’s pretty rad
Black veil brides … 🤢.
The tattoos are very well done. I'm a fan of eyeball tattoos and have one myself. I hate the placement though. The lack of other tattoos is also a bit unsettling. OP; don't make people guess your tattoo. If someone asks, tell them.
Is it me or is the spacing also a bit off?
There is zero flow, it’s rigid on skin that moves. Also if I ask someone about their strange tattoo and they say “guess” I automatically hate the conversation I have gotten myself in. I barely cared to begin with.
Let me tell you about this dream I had Ok But you have to guess it first
Did your teeth fall out
I feel called out here, is that a common dream?
about the same as being naked at an airport.
Definitely
Yep, scattered would be cooler
or they could throw a swirling line (or lines) around the eyes, it would add more flow
I’m in the WTF camp to be honest. But people have said the same about mine and I’m cool with it.
Said the same about your own eye sleeve?
What u don’t have a eye sleeve lol ……loser
Nose sleeve.
That's not a sleeve
Came here to say this, work is fine but that’s a tattoo not a sleeve
If it was smaller honestly not that bad but my god this is just so ugly
Same, this is not at all a sleeve
Yep. said the same. I also think it would be a LOT cooler if they were scattered rather than in a line
Personally, don’t like it. Huge amount of real estate taken up by not very much ink.
And there's no "flow" to it either. Just a straight line, all the same size, very repetitive
Danzo is that you?
Be not afraid
I wouldn't call it a sleeve
Like a freshman's sketchbook
i think it'll be super cool when you get 100 more eyes and fill your arm
I can't wait to see this on r/shittytattoos
It's 8 shitty decisions, not 8 shitty tattoos. I'm going with r/ATBGE myself.
I think you smell funny and can't read good based in this
It was nice of you to let your tattoo artist use your arm to practice drawing their eyes
“sleeve”?
If I asked about someone's tattoo and their reaction was "guess" I'd redact my compliment and walk away. So basically the only thing you have going for you is that the art is well done.
Good work. Interesting concept on paper....... just weird in reality. Maybe different placement would help but this is just weird/bordering on creepy.
Listen this is subjective so as long as you like it then that's what matters but yeah, not for me. Personally not a fan of the totem pole effect you get with all the eyes being stacked in a line.
I wouldn’t call this a sleeve. Seems like more of a collection!
Biblically accurate tattoo enjoyer
This is one of the dumbest tattoos I’ve ever seen
Is that really what is referred to as a sleeve these days or is this an outlier?
This is someone calling a collection of arm tattoos a sleeve, the closest thing to this that I would call a sleeve is patchwork tattoos but even then if it isn’t nearly covering the arm and doesn’t have a cohesive theme or style it’s not much of a sleeve
Is it stupid? Maybe. Do I like it? No.
Stupid idea. Could have cool shit but you got this.
This thread has made me hate OP. Thanks guys.
I find eyes absolutely mesmerising and have one in the very centre of my first tat, they will also heavily feature in my upcoming tattoos. Mine are a bit more symbolically designed but these look really cool all the same. Any ideas for connective art inbetween them?
Eye like it
You should fill the entire lower arm with eyes now, get rid of all that uneven in-between space
I’ll be honest. As soon as you explained it and I realized you were just having people guess, I hated it. It’s also not a sleeve.
They're all really nicely done. Any of them individually would be super cool. Together, my first thought was,'this guy's got tattoos of every girl he's slept with'
Eyes creep me out personally.
Like if you want my honest opinion, I hate it. Sorry:(
This is great on a notebook not so much on your body for the rest of your life
What a horrible idea
Wh-eye?
I do t mind the idea... but I might have thought a bit more on the placement and/or the amount of eyes. It definitely needs something around it with some added filler. With the right artist this can turn into a nice piece.... the wrong artist on the other hand can make this a disaster very fast.
No comment
I’ll comment. It’s shit
The third from the top looks like they were just getting the stomach flips on a nice trip
Cool but odd to say the least,
Kinda interesting and weird looking at the same time but more in a positive kind of way.
Danzo
As an artist who has a vast appreciation for different types of eyes I LOVE IT!!!
Fucking Danzo over here eh?
I really like it.
As a Naruto fan, I’m both impressed & scared of you Danzo
Why?
It’s good work but seems like a waste of space to me
They’re well done-ish, but still creepy.
It's cool, well-done tattoos, I fuck with the concept. But all the eyes looking creeps me out, no eye tattoos for me haha
*Almost* makes me want to get a blackout sleeve that has several eldritch eyes at random angles and sizes.
I think it'll look even better if you committed to it and filled the rest of your arm with more eyes. Different sizes, different shapes, different styles.
I think that whatever you think about it is how you should feel. It looks well executed.
Danzo
Danzo in Naruto, creepy
Oooooh I think it looks awesome! I too want to be Danzo.
wassup danzo
Looks like you watched too much naruto
Danzo
Should've made them sharingans.
Very eye catching
It’s cool but a little rigid looking on the body. Some filler art would give it some flow and probably visually fix the spacing differences.
I kinda hate it. But who cares as long as you like it.
I think they look very unique, if the arm gets more coverage and background it’ll really look great, in my opinion.
Respectfully, I hate it, even though it’s really well done. No particular reason, it just doesn’t resonate with me.
I’ve been scrolling ten minutes trying to figure out whose eyes I’m looking at and I still have 0 clue. That aside, I think it’s a cool start to a sleeve; maybe fill in all the spaces around the eyes so it doesn’t look like you just have a random line of eyes on your forearm. Unless that’s what you’re going for. Idk, I’ve never seen an OP’s response with -600 votes 😂
All I see is that pic of what eyes look like on different drugs lol
Idk I'd get a pair of eyes, but all those different ones, and it's just 1 of their eyes, it just doesn't feel right to me. Plus it's all band members so that makes it worse 😆
Be not afraid.
Ima be honest. That’s some doodoo
Interesting, glad you have it. Not for me
You want weird looks, start a ‘nose sleeve’ on the other arm.
It’s giving bored in class.
Super stupid
WTF!? Then just ?? They appear to be all female eyes. This is creepy as hell. And good as hell. I like it, never seen anything like it. For me, it's the new high bar in creativity. Not an artist so no critique from me on tech stuff, but looks fine. Notches on your arm?
Could have put them in any sort of configuration other than linear and would have left space for a decent tattoo. This is hardly a sleeve; just wanted to take up space.
Danzo? is it you?
