The only thing that seems off about it to me is that the face and the tusks aren’t colored in, which makes it look unbalanced. Otherwise – cute and fun! Tattoos don’t always have to be serious business.

It’s better than going into a tattoo shop and pointing to the flash art on the wall and saying, “I want that one”. It’s a custom one-of-a-kind piece. I think it’s cute.

i agree with #31, much better to have something hand drawn and custom than a piece of flash that just looked good on the wall at the time. I don’t think it’s a bad tattoo, that’s just the style of it – it’s supposed to look childish and hand drawn.. I copied out a picture my friend wanted as a tattoo, and the artist kinda copied my style of colouring in.

I think it is cute.. if it makes the wearer happy, then that’s the way it should be, but in my opinion, it should have been fixed up a bit.. the colouring made more even, so it doesn’t look like it was coloured in with marker, the lines less shaky.. so it actually looks like a decent tattoo.. If I were the artist I definitely wouldn’t want to tell people I did that. I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. It is cute. It just isn’t great.

why in the world are people talking about this tattoo looking bad? it’s based off a hand-drawing that this person did themselves. it’s supposed to look like it’s hand-drawn. quite honestly i think it’s great work. think about how much skill it would take to make it look *just* so, so that it does look like marker instead of “normal tattooing”
