I’m getting my forearm blacked out tomorrow!

That’s it really! It’s currently a jumbled mess of a snake/ roses/ leaves but there’s no colour so it’s hard to distinguish what’s going on and I’ve never really liked it so I’m getting the whole arm between elbow and hand blacked out.

never had black out before, has anyone else? Seen it on other people (mostly cool guys in bands tho 😂)

It’s gonna be a 4 hour session 😬

Why can't I see the skull?!

I do think the black works, probably because your arms are pretty thin

HarlanPepper · 11/02/2023 16:38

Hello @desperatehousewife21 I have big sections of blackout on both arms, and then other sections with heavy blackwork layered over existing colour tattoos. I didn't find it hurt any worse than other tattoos (I have a lot), BUT healing was quite prolonged, on the one side - no infection or anything but my arm was swollen and leaking clear lymph for about 3-4 days. The other side was a breeze though so I think it could have been just one of those things. If this does happen, basically, don't panic!

Good luck! I love heavy blackwork, and you can always layer over the top even of sold black, look at curlytattoos on instagram for some examples of this.

@AllThingsServeTheBeam

Wellnits just my opinion - obviously the OP probably hates my untatted skin and thinks thats lame or unalternative or something otherwise she wouldn’t have such extensive tatts

Who asked for it? The only weirdo is you

It's not, but what if it was? Does a women's worth diminish with the amount of penises she encounters?

@Megifer

Well it’s that vibe. To me it’s a bit rough swinger chav, but to each their own. My normal look is probably gross to the heavily tattooed

It's your personality that's gross

AdobeWanKenobi · 11/02/2023 16:39

Love it OP. Kat Von D has just done similar with some of hers.

Why the fuck MN put tattoo posts into trending is beyond me because all it does it send a klaxon to every opinionated fuckwit on here who simply has to tell you how they really don't like them.

You're on the tattoo forum, people on here kind of like them. If you don't, this section ain't for you.

People aren't asking about them. They're just giving them their cuntish judgemental opinions and it is unnecessary

I8toys · 11/02/2023 16:40

You're getting a load of dick comments because its trending. I admire that someone commits to this as I couldn't commit to anything permanent on my skin. If you like it it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

ElizaGumpyLeg · 11/02/2023 16:40

@All4Stars

I don’t mean offense I just think it’s a really ugly look on women and rough on both sexes that’s all. I’d hate for my daughters to do it to themselves and be concerned for them

SirChenjins · 11/02/2023 16:40

Is it finished? It just looks like you’ve painted your arm with black paint - is it supposed to have a design or something?

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 11/02/2023 16:41

ElizaGumpyLeg · 11/02/2023 16:32

@All4Stars

What the hell? I meant no offense I just don’t get how someone can do that to their own body?

You seem to have an empty space between your ears. Were you aware?

toomuchlaundry · 11/02/2023 16:41

But surely people with tattoos don’t all like the same tattoos, so can you only come on here if you only like the in your face style tattoo

I've never wished for someone's daughter to get a face tattoo more in my entire life.

The clues in the name... Black out

OneFrenchEgg · 11/02/2023 16:44

I'm glad you like it, I was a bit eek at the idea when I read your op but I like it! I only have a couple of small ones

AdobeWanKenobi · 11/02/2023 16:44

I've reported the OP under 'other' and asked if MN can remove from trending so as not to attract the knob heads.
Perhaps with a few requests they might listen.

I can't say I feel any way about people without tatts. Certainly not 'grossed' out or make an assumption that they are a certain type of person.

I have now too

ArcaneWireless · 11/02/2023 16:45

The vibe I get from those who strive to be noticed by posting something rude and
unfounded (and trying to negate it with a ‘no offense’) are more likely to want to be chased down the road by a load of Benny Hill style hornygoths than their real life alternative of Mrs Palm and her four lovely daughters and their little dumpy chum.

NoWeaponsOnTheTable · 11/02/2023 16:46

Fuck, this kicked off big time 😱😄

I don't think you can say "no offense" and then follow that up by saying "really ugly" and "rough." You do mean to offend. You could say, "I don't mean offense, but it's not my own aesthetic." But you can't say that you're not trying to be insulting and then use insulting language.

AdobeWanKenobi · 11/02/2023 16:48

Just had a reply from @MNHQ thread has been removed from trending so hopefully this can get back to being about people who actually like tattoos.

LoveMAFS · 11/02/2023 16:48

Hey OP, congrats on getting it done. I like the wispy finish at the wrist rather than a hard line, will you keep it like that? Out of ten, how much did it hurt to do?

I'm already concerned for your daughters tbh

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 11/02/2023 16:49

MN have removed it from trending and apparently the twatish poster was a pbt
