Viewer 1 here, you hit the nail on the head with the bruise that faded and the buzz dots falling out hahah thanks for featuring my submissions and I am stoked for the artist who did my mouse with the lily umbrella to see this
14:27 Viewer 4 here, the koi dragon is a drawn on piece by Felix Kienzle, the black hole, Hamburg, Germany to fit a blank spot on my forearm. Give him a follow, he is great! The shitty heart was done by myself while being supervised by a professional tattooer. It’s whatever haha
I am viewer number 3. Your thoughts on my little lightbulbs made me laugh, because you are not wrong at all. That tattoo is 5 years old now, it was my first. And it is not very good. But it has meaning to me, and I get asked about it all the time. As for the second one, the character is actually from a video game. It's Hermes, the Greek God, from the Hades video game. That said, the game does have a but of an anime art style. I didn't add any filters or edit that photo at all. Just took it in a room with a lot of good natural light, and honestly, in person, it looks more saturated than that picture I took. It's super bright and solid. It's just over a month old now and still healing. It was only about 2 weeks old when I took the picture I sent you. So that 'scarring' in the hair you mentioned was just stabbing, and it is gone by now. I also want to add that it was done in one session, over about 8 hours. Which I will never do again lol. The artist who did that Hermes tattoo is Alex Sierra. He does super good work. This was my second tattoo by him, and it won't be the last. He does mostly do anime stuff, but he can do more. First tattoo he did for me was a neotraditional kitsune fox mask, which is also super good, and almost a year later, it still looks new. I get asked if it's fresh on occasion.
@@hello_there740 it is a reference to a twenty one pilots song. The judge. There's a lyric in it thay is 'three light are lit but the fourth ones out.' And the whole song is about anxiety and depression, both of which I have.
Viewer number 5 here, you’re spot on about the first design. It took me FAR too long to realise I can’t just get any old design with my skin type. Sadly this is something far too many artists aren’t aware of either - unlike my hannya lady which the artist crushed, she nailed the brief and then some and I’m going back in August to get a matching man. I get what you mean about the traditional elements though. However, I’ve just never been a fan of traditional faces, they always look a bit too uncanny valley for me. So this is perfect, I couldn’t be happier! 👌
I love that your videos are going up to 29 minutes long 👏🏻👏🏻😭😭 Plesse keep up the energy, I trust your input on tattoos a lot and your channel really helps me to plan for my first tattoo
As a tattoo artist that enjoys tattooing anime characters it was refreshing to hear your takes today! I’m a color enthusiast & when it comes to these tattoos it is ESSENTIAL that you know how to sling color! I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to more of your videos 😊
I was having the best time of my life watching this and then I heard him celebrating 5K subs. I was like WHAT?!! I thought this was a multi-hundred-thousand subs channel, your comment really surprised me. Keep up the good work man. I'm happy to be here before viral!
My mom used to hate tattoos especially when she was married to my dad and he as a biker got tattooed back in the 80s and 90s, but she's been with her husband since 2003 and he had some and then she got some and her one Good tattoo is a pumpkin on her lower forearm with a little pumpkin bloom and a little vine and a cute little fairy sitting on top but turns out she is allergic to the yellow that was used so some of it healed wonky and it had no outline so now, 20yrs later and you can't really see it and she's afraid to get it fixed because of her allergies.
I had a heart like that on my leg next to my knee that I did in jr high. Lol. I got in so much trouble. But it's gone now,,after a little salt and Ice and a few yrs of healing, it's all gone and not even scarred
I like the mouse and Lilly tattoo but as a person who loves colors and grows Lillie’s I would have wanted it colored. They come in a million colors iv even made some hybrids that I’m thinking about putting on me somewhere
I've been a tattooer for 20 plus years. I agree with so much of what you say, Mr. Fagan I'm sure we could work together just fine. I would like to say in my experience, traditional and obviously neotraditional styles go hand-n-hand with anime tatties as far as technical application. If you fallow all the rules, they end up looking super cool!! Those are my 3 favorite genres and pretty much what I stick to. Sure win! Oh yeah!... and, the bigger the better!!
I was wondering what you thought about a baaaad tattoo outline I saw on treacletatts channel. She did a whole video on a tattoo done in Australia by a ticktock/instafamous studio (lovesick tattoo). The client has posted videos and photos of the 'bad' tatt and i was reminded of what you said about janky outlines on a big back piece. I wonder if bad outlines are okay in some situations? I freaking love your channel. It's so good to hear someone talk the way you do. It's bizzarre when you know a lot about a craft - the way an experienced person sees things is complety different to how inexperienced people see the same thing. I love hearing about how an experienced tattoo artist sees tattoos. I hated my tatts and thought they were shit. They still are, BUT they aren't as bad as I thought they were. Haha I can see how the artist did a good job now too. 🙏 Wishing you all the internet richness!
"Its not perfect, but who gives a shit?" Yes. I enjoy all my tatts, even the ones that missed the mark. Your advice to put better ones around them is a much better solution than laser or blackout or even cover-up. Thanks for all the cool advice. Peace.
I'm a new subscriber and have spent the day watching your old tattoo vlogs ! Really amazing stuff, hopefully you are going to bring back the travel and tattoo vlogs soon. 😊 The reaction videos are fun too, very entertaining.
Question about fine line colored tattoos without black outlines, when they fade could you just get them re-done to refresh the colors? I know it’s not economical but is it an option? Thanks in advance!!
@@kirkfagantattoo dope, I wish I had known, I was there a little bit ago. What’s the shop name? I go to Mexico whenever I can and I might come in to get a tattoo.
How do i submit? I only have one tattoo and it is TRASH. I cant wait to be made fun of. It’s also on my side, and decently sized for not having any more😆😂🤣
I subscribed b/c you are smart enough to know not to get tattoos on your face, neck and hands. If you want to be professional you can not cover those with clothing.
I have half anime and nintendo tattoos, and have black and gray demon/satanic/horror tattoos. Whole body, half and half. I need to send my worst and best. You'll die laughing
Got a bunch of garbage tats when I was 15 with a vcr motor, finally got the last one of those covered up but I still have some garbage tattoos, got 1 from a smoke shop 18 years ago 😂
Don't even know how I came to this channel. But it's interesting, especially to me who has no tattoos at all (I grew up in the 80s and back then a tattoo usually implied low status. That changed in the 90s but I was already to aware how irreversible such a thing is). There's one point I would like to make, though. I saw your tattoo on your palm of one of your hands. And it somehow gave me a weird vibe. Then I figured it out: Showing our Palms is usually a sign of deescalation or to show literally "see, I have nothing to hurt you in my hands". That's more or less why we show our palms to people. But what if your palm is tattooed?! At the very 1st look you will assume that guy has something in his hand, only at the 2nd glance you realize it's just paint. But it could have been a knife as well, at the first glance at least. What I want to say: I, personally, would advise against a palm tattoo. Almost as much as I consider every type of face tattoo a disfigurement (this is just me) - due to the very same reason. It puts yourself at a disadvantage when your character will be judged by a new acquaintance. At least, that's my impression. Please don't feel insulted. I respect your choice and I hope you are happy with it. But since this was probably the first palm tattoo I saw, and since it had that weird effect on me, I just wanted to let you know about it.
Viewer 1 here, you hit the nail on the head with the bruise that faded and the buzz dots falling out hahah thanks for featuring my submissions and I am stoked for the artist who did my mouse with the lily umbrella to see this

The mouse one looks so cute

I have the same shirt!
I'm from Hamburg, cool to see someone from Germany in his video

@@STARPHASEI knew it! That’s their album cover right?
I knew it was Hermes. Sick af

The best tattoo TH-cam channel in the game rn ❤❤❤
This comment is OVER 9000!!!
thank you friends
Missed this. I'll have to toss some in to get insulted or appreciated on one of the next ones.
Bro you should do some flash painting and like q&a’s or something always love watching some flash being painted.

Dude if u see the new trends in Japan’s tattoos you are going to cry! Looks like colorful bruises with NO black outline, it’s so painful to see
i got one coming out talking about some garbage tattooing
I was having the best time of my life watching this and then I heard him celebrating 5K subs. I was like WHAT?!! I thought this was a multi-hundred-thousand subs channel, your comment really surprised me. Keep up the good work man. I'm happy to be here before viral!
Oh, I didn’t even notice. I started binge watching their content and didn’t even realize I was witnessing an underrated creator.
My favourite one of my husband's tattoos is subjectivity the worst, but is so funny especially when you know how much he paid and what he asked for.
My mom used to hate tattoos especially when she was married to my dad and he as a biker got tattooed back in the 80s and 90s, but she's been with her husband since 2003 and he had some and then she got some and her one Good tattoo is a pumpkin on her lower forearm with a little pumpkin bloom and a little vine and a cute little fairy sitting on top but turns out she is allergic to the yellow that was used so some of it healed wonky and it had no outline so now, 20yrs later and you can't really see it and she's afraid to get it fixed because of her allergies.
25:17 this seems to be the flower version of a seraphim. The symetrical leaves are supposed to be wings of an angel.

Viewer number 3 has this tattoo on poni lawsons channel. Apparently its a character from the video game Hades! I think someone said its hermes
thank you for the info
Yep! I left a comment on that video too lol. It is Hermes, and I left a probably too long comment here on Kirk's video lol.
I like the mouse and Lilly tattoo but as a person who loves colors and grows Lillie’s I would have wanted it colored. They come in a million colors iv even made some hybrids that I’m thinking about putting on me somewhere
This video idea is the best. You should definitely do it again!

Ooo is this gonna be a series 😊

I am in at 30k I got stuck watching you last night. Badass knowledge drops.
"Its not perfect, but who gives a shit?"
Yes. I enjoy all my tatts, even the ones that missed the mark.
Your advice to put better ones around them is a much better solution than laser or blackout or even cover-up. Thanks for all the cool advice. Peace.
Half way to 10,000 subscribers. All the best
Can you show a janky outline, then how it looks once you've gone in and finished it?

Love this video. Good information.
i always appreciate you friend
On the mouse what’s going on with his body? Is is supposed to be becoming the stem or is it just not thought out
And it’s arm omg
Re: Darker skin and color: It’s basic color theory and knowing how contrast works.
I know death note, because I love the imagery..this one is beautiful
The hannya mask + girl tat idea is good if the hannya is on the side of the head
Wow! 3 months ago you had 5k subscribers…now you’re at 43k…that’s insane!
Swear these are some of your best vids
That snake and flower are 🔥
How can I submit a tattoo I got, it looks terrible😂

Question about fine line colored tattoos without black outlines, when they fade could you just get them re-done to refresh the colors? I know it’s not economical but is it an option? Thanks in advance!!
The koi fish being aligned with the curve of the girls hop is just 🥵🥵
done in a Neo traditional style, that's a really good idea
Where can we send our own tattoos to?
That peepee koi fish comment, i thought i was the only one...
You’re not in the states? Where do you tattoo out of?
I own a shop in sayulita Mexico. But I grew up and learned how to tattoo in Southern California
@@kirkfagantattoo dope, I wish I had known, I was there a little bit ago. What’s the shop name? I go to Mexico whenever I can and I might come in to get a tattoo.
Yesss, omg I love the self roast too bahahah
You’re friendly neighbor hood tattoo apprentice here, you think you can critique tattoos made by apprentices?
I actually like that rose you did lol.
you're right
How do i submit? I only have one tattoo and it is TRASH. I cant wait to be made fun of. It’s also on my side, and decently sized for not having any more😆😂🤣
It physically hurt to see the twenty one pilots tattoo listed as "bad" lol (Not that it isn't)
"Three lights are lit, but the fourth one's out"
Do more of these
Another great video!
Viewer number 2s snake looks like tbe covetous serpent rings from dark souls
how do u submit tats to you? is it just on tik tok? i aint have none of that...let me know if u feel like it lol
hate that red lightbulb
Too bad I didn’t see this ! I would have sent in my bad tattoos.

How can you say the mouse with the flower tattoo was good???? It must be a joke
omg i just read the comments on your video sorry im so blind my bad lol

The last viewer. 🥵
longer format videos are better imo
Did you realize the snake and wolf were right besides each other xD

I have to put this guy on x1.25 speed. He talks waaaaaay too much, waaaaay too slow. 1 min talk before showing us the nice tat.
Why do I loveee The flower that’s healed that’s faded so pretty to me lol 🤷🏼♀
Anime is gay
