So many people just don't know WHAT a good tattoo looks like. I noticed that with my third tattoo. It's on the front of my forearm, it's a neo-traditional kitsune fox mask. It was done REALLY well. The design is nothing crazy, but it's clean. The lines are clean, the colors are saturated, and it's just a good tattoo. People have asked me if it's real, and even almost a year later, people ask if it's fresh. It really did just make me realize people don't see GOOD tattoos very often.
Seriously. Every time someone tells me which of my tattoos they really like, it's always one of the worst ones I have. Meanwhile I've got stuff that I can only describe as pure mastery that folks don't even look twice at.
@@AprehamLincoln I've git 4 little light bulbs on the outside of my forearm. It was my first tattoo, and they aren't terrible, but they aren't great. Some if the bulbs are a bit windy, and there's a few blow outs. And they're tiny. Each about a half inch tall. But I get asked about them weekly. They are unique, and people are curious about them, but it's still funny. I've got 5 tattoos, all very visible. One is on my hand lol. But it's the light bulbs people ask me about all the time.
I want a tattoo, but honestly the rarity of good tattoos as you said makes me very nervous. Especially with expenses. Honestly I don’t really know where to even start when it comes to researching how to know if someone is a good artist.
I think the girl with the cute/dainty sun and moon tattoo is also going through a classic case of new tattoo anxiety. Ive seen a lot of people have second guesses or regrets almost immediately because its a radical change theyre not used to. Maybe she really does want something bolder like you said, but tattoos can be kind of shocking when you're first starting out.
Yeah happened to me a few times that I didn't quite love a new tattoo but after seeing it for a few weeks and the tattoo settling in the skin I was super happy
I will add I am exactly the same way. I only have had four tattoos over the past two years, but starting about 6 hours after the second skin is on, I HATE my tattoo. And then a week later that goes away and within a month I am back to as excited as I was in the beginning.
agreed! i think it's also the adrenaline rush/exhaustion after getting tattooed that makes you second-guess everything you've done lol. you're having a physiological response! sleep on it and eat some good food!
@@sydney6548 its also a common response they warn you about for major surgery. i had top surgery this july and they warned about post-op feelings of regret, which typically occur btwn the 2 and 4 week mark post-op. i didnt get it, but the ppl who do usually have it fade within a few weeks, once their brain gets used to seeing their new features.
if our arms couldn't rotate like that or our skin would rip whenever we did it, we would not have survived as a species. even i have a better idea of human anatomy, and i didn't even graduate highschool, nor do i have my GED
When I first saw the video of the girl who said her tattoo was too dainty I had the same reaction... "homegirl wants some bold-ass traddy tats!" 🤘🏼 seems like she could be the rad one of her friend group but unfortunately listened to her dainty friends' advice. I've seen it happen too many times.
I also had huge tattoo regret after my tattoo. My mom called me to ask me how it was and I almost started crying. But then I had McDonald’s and a good nap and suddenly I was happy again hahaha
In regard to the tattoo flu, I always wonder how people who get those MASSIVE pieces done under anesthetia by like 5 dudes end up feeling after they come to. I've said it before, but it must be like getting hit with a freight train of pain. And then, for your body to have to heal all of it at once must be overwhelming physically on your immune system.
After spending lots of time really looking at different healed tattoos and tattoo styles, I know that the lasting way a tattoo looks is after it has settled into the skin. So, when I look at a sketch on a tattoer’s tablet, I see what the tattoo will look like. A fresh tattoo can look good, but I don’t expect my tattoo to look exactly the same once it has settled, and I go to experienced enough tattooers who know how to create the tattoo that I want once it has settled. I have noticed that my tattoos look overly saturated and too bright when fresh, and exactly what I wanted once settled. It definitely threw me for an anxiety loop the first time I had color work done, though!
My mothers ugly ass tattoos (she only has a few but theyre all ugly, un feminine and poorly done) also made me cautious about not be impulsive not indecisive. My first tattoo if I get one will most likely be something planned out and wanted for at a least a year in advance so enough time to think it over. And I still won’t get it if my husband doesn’t think it’s a good design or otherwise doesn’t approve of it because he has lived with tattoo regret before and has the wisdom to help prevent me from experiencing the same
About the whole gender of the tattooer thing: I don't know if this was the intention of the original poster, but I do think there is a conversation to be had about how a lot of men tattooers only learn to tattoo other men (or themselves) and then end up going way to deep on women's skin (which tends to be thinner, more elastic and more delicate) and scar them or blow out the tattoo. This isn't a comment about the inherent skill of any gender, but rather just a gap in experience (and of course that's not the case for all men either, but God knows I've met plenty tattoo artists who have literally never tattooed a woman)
I just love how you say it how it is. Even if it's an ugly design, if it's executed properly, with clean lines and shaded properly etc. I'm just glad you are 100% real 100% of the time!!! One love!!
5:50 Yeah thats not his real tooth. I'm not a tattoo artist, but I'm pretty sure that the needle will loose against the tooth enamel any day of the week. However, tooth replacements can be made from "plastics", which are cheaper and provide enough strength to eat (altho they break way quicker than ceramics), and I believe you could potentially "tattoo" that.
12:51 Both of my tattoos were done by men. My first tattoo the guy was heavy handed, there is some color lifting and scaring etc. I will most likely get it redone. I also bled a lot during it but it was my first tattoo so I was like "ok well maybe that's normal like damn this hurts a lot." Like I was getting nerve pain with how deep he seemed to be going but that might just be a me issue. Second tattoo, looks almost the same as the day I got it with exception of normal aging etc. It's beautiful, I get compliments on it from time to time. It still hurt but was a DREAM compared to my first, I also bled very little during it. Also healed better. Both guys had about the same amount of years tattooing and were in their 40s. My sister got tattooed by both of these guys and said the one guy was heavy handed and her lines look a little blown. I dislike how people try to pit men and women against each other. There are as many "bad" tattoos by women as there are men.
Honestly the immediate tattoo regret is something I always feel bad over because no matter how much I love a tatt, I’m autistic and the large change distresses me at first. I seem to always have 1 to 5 days of ‘have I made the right decision 😰😰’ stress until I become used to seeing the tattoo on me, and then I’m usually just super happy about it. It’s such a confusing process but in the end I have turned out to love all mine
Ive had alot of 6 hour+ tattoos always thought it was pretty standard havent got sick after one yet. though i always find it nuts that some of my smallest tattoos are the ones that took the longest
I have two small small/medium-sized face tattoos, one on each side (sort of on the upper cheeks), symmetrical. I personally love how they came out and of all the tattoos I have that I've second-guessed at some points, I've never second-guessed my face tattoos. I have them for over 3 years at this point. I also have pretty significant coverage on both arms, hands, chest, throat, and all around my neck. Everything I have is symmetrical and done in the same style, so it's sort of like many pieces of a big project that have been coming together over the years. I've designed every single one of my tattoos myself and have been adding on ideas as time has been progressing. At this point I actually feel that I may have reached my goal with tattoos. I have thoughts of maybe doing an upper back piece at some point, but not sure how much I want it, since I don't really go to the beach or walk around shirtless, plus even I myself wouldn't really be able to see it without two mirrors. I've had thoughts of a forehead tattoo, script in a style like Amber Rose has, but my wife is completely against it (plus they might not handle it well at my workplace -- even though they accept the tattoos I already have). Never had any interest to do any leg tattoos, stomach, ribs, or lower back.
In regards to gender, I think there's a bit of a bias because it is generally more widely accepted for men to become tattoo artists so you end up with a ton of them, including a lot who are good and a lot who are mediocre. For a woman to become a tattoo artist though, she has to put up with so much industry bullshit and probably be better than her male counterparts to even get an apprenticeship, so only the really good artists make it through the process.
Also, Rolly West(who you talked about) made a video with that tattooth video, and someone in his comments said that basically, it creates cracks in the tooth enamel that the ink fills up. So it won't last, and that guy's tooth is *fucked.* lol
The people who fill their faces completely like that, I always just feel sad and upset that they must be hurting… my mind automatically goes to the thought that they hate themselves, hate their face, or do it as a mask to hide from the world… and I logically know that I could be way off on that, but that’s the only thing my mind jumps to, and all I can ever think for most of them. I am artistic and don’t normally think that way with alternative looks, but for some reason the extreme changes in looks/body modifications, that’s what my mind always goes to. That’s the same with extreme plastic surgery too. But I know that might just be my perception
I have always said being poor kept me from so many bad decisions as a kid. Part of that was how inaccessible things like tattoo machines were. Kids can literally have one delivered. I can't imagine how me and my dumb friends would look or be today 😅
Thank you for having basic common sense when it comes to men and women and their abilities! I’m a woman, and if I take notice of someone’s tattoo, the last thing I care about is if the tattoo was made by a man or a woman. The gender of the tattoo artist is completely irrelevant to me. All I care about is if the tattoo is good or not.
I took a long time to decide what tattoo on my face and I have a very good face tattoo and am so happy with it. My artist input changed the detail and simplified it so it looks great years later. He has had very good input and I always listen to my artist. (This artist at least)
1000000000% agree with being over the gender wars so unnecessarily divisive, and I feel like I can’t escape it online (thankfully it’s not something I really hear about in person!)
@@b00tybu77chks yeah but it also didn’t help that I only had 4 hours sleep after the session and had to work the next day. I didn’t really get a chance to sleep it off well. Next time I’ll make sure I’ll get my sessions on a Friday instead of a Monday😂
Right. The problem with most face tattoos isn't that they are on the face but that they are really bad tattoos. On a very visible part of the body. Beautiful face/head tattoos exist. See the ones of Friedrich Übler (e.g. on Oli Sykes).
The tooth tattoo is fake. You can't tattoo into tooth. It's not skin. Where would the ink go? You can see he's wearing something over his tooth in the final shot
teeth have layers, ink goes into the layer under the enamel, and you can see it as enamel is clear (still not a good idea and won't last but it's real)
@@hotdoggitydig he's wearing a fake fingernail over his tooth. Have a closer look at the final shot. Real tooth "tattoos"are crowns that are inserted by dentists
I can relate with the regret of a good tattoo that you selected and everything and at the end it doesn't feel like you... my trusted tattoo artist does blackwork and fine line so good and I have like five pieces from him and looking to get more because they look so good even after five years. Then I had this idea for a tattoo that I really wanted, but needed color so I booked another artist and I love it, and then decided to just go forward with another idea with color... and that one... that one I regret so fucking much, the tattoo is ok... heal ok... but it doesn't feel like me and IS sad, I choose that design, I talked with the artist who was lovely, we went back and forth, I was happy with it, but then... while I was driving home I was like: 'I don't like it, it feels weird, I don't like it. I fucked it up, I can't cover it up, is brand new, why did I do this' which I never thought before or even with the first color tattoo. It sucks, I'm still getting use to it, but I decided to just stick to blackwork which I feel better with from now on.
In the Women and men conflict, i have both kind of tattoos. Both are equally shitty or amazing. It's the person and their skill, and that's nothing to do with gender. (matter of fact, the worst tattoo experience was with a woman, but it was also with a woman that i had the best experience. so yeah it's the person) However, i can see why women can feel uneasy with a male tattoo artist and i wont blame them for it. We had enough horror stories from pretty notorious tattoo artists and getting a tattoo can involve a lot of nudity, can get pretty stressing and you can easily be pressured into a tattoo you don't want, or in a part you don't wish to tattoo with somebody you find intimating.
16:41 I witnessed this firsthand after I did a throat tattoo on someone.... one of my favorite sad stories to tell. He came in and wanted the word "handsome" across his knuckles. I chuckled, thinking it was a joke. He was dead serious. I explained to him that knuckle tattoos fade blah blah blah. I did the tattoo. He came in for a touch up a month later, and told me he wanted "hearthrob" across his throat. I laughed, thinking he was joking. Again, he was so serious. I gave him a ridiculous price, and he said he would save up and get back to me. I tried to talk him out of it as well, once he showed me the font. A month later he comes in, ready for this tattoo. I'm dreading it. The font is all crazy and ignorant style. He has no other visible tattoos besides "handsome" on his knuckles, and I just know it's a bad idea, but he seems really sure that he wants it. We spend about an hour placing the stencil, then get started. I finish it and he goes to look in the mirror. He's poking at it, and stretching his skin, and sighing. He asks "are you going to.... i don't know, make it better?" I asked what he meant, I gave him exactly what he wanted. I asked if it's what he had in mind, and he just kinda shrugged. I found out later that he was copying Ryan Gosling's tattoos from some movie called "beyond the pines" or something. I haven't seen him since. I'm not sure if he thought he was going to turn into Ryan Gosling after he got these tattoos or not, but I tried my best to dissuade him along the way.
So now you also have regret. That sucks. Stick to your morals, and just good decisions. I understand you probably think he will get it done even worse somewhere else. Well that would be on him, and his regret. Do what's right man. Trust your gut at all times.
@@spookshow6999 if I refused every tattoo I didn't want to do, I would barely work lol its a customer service job, I'm trying to help my customer. I tried to talk to him about it multiple times before we even got to the stencil, but he was dead set on it. I don't regret doing the tattoo for him, because I did the best job I could. I'm not in any position to tell people what to do with their body or what not to get tattooed
You're probably right, about his expectations of what it would look like being based on how it looked in the movie (the film is The Place Beyond the Pines). Besides the fact that those are only 2 of the tattoos out of the 25-30 that the character has, like you mentioned, the character is played by an incredibly athletic handsome Hollywood superstar. To think you could get 2 random tattoos and that it would make you look like Ryan Gosling is just silly, obviously.
I tatted my friends moms name on his chest over his heart,…. He couldn’t pick a font basically and I was ready to write it out and then he’s like maybe I’ll use my cursive lol it looks like a toddler wrote on his chest and he somehow blames me hahah it’s like bro that’s your writing you knew
I saw a girl get ivy on her face, and it was really pretty. One of the few I found really interesting. I'm so exhausted by the script under the eye, mandala, spiderweb stuff.
Traditional Maori and Inuit face tattoos are so beautiful. Those are my favorite face tattoos but I also think Maori and Inuit cultures should be respected and that these styles shouldn't go mainstream. So go off, get that face dagger, my dude.
Are people seriously just realising that the body twists? These videos make me so angry… keep ‘em coming Oh and as for the gender thing, why is this even a thing? No one is saying one gender is better at music or writing or even any other art so why is it happening in tattooing?
@@Zockanumber1 I get that and, hey, I’m a guy so I’m not going to argue whether that is true or not, but they’re not saying men can’t write at all. Saying all men are worse tattooers is such a generalised comment, it’s just nonsense.
Post Malone, Lil Wayne, i do think it's par for the course to have bad face tattoos if you wanna be a rapper.They all got shitty tattoos on their face.Granted I'll give you that the mace looks pretty cool but on your face i dont get it.
This whole men vs women tattoo videos are so sexist it has nothing to do with gender and I mostly see them from women so it seems like they’re just man haters tbh
Everyone has an opinion in my opinion the guy making this video has all dumpy tattoos my one hand tattoo cost 2k. 😂😂😂😂 don’t go to your local tattoo parlour just because they’re close
you got a stick and poke you silly goose, also his have aged and held up really well. good job saying you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about

The girl making that face about her tattoo twisting is so cringe. Is this the first time she realized wrists can rotate?

My immediate thought was, "omg i want a twist tattoo! 😮"
Ugh. I really dislike people saying a tattoo is good/bad bc of the gender of their tattooer . It’s all about talent. Not gender.
I agree and it's the same with everything else, art or any other thing depends on the person, not a group of people or a stereotype 🤷🏼♀️
I agree.
Ugh, don't think he ever said one time thus tat sucks cus she's a woman. I could be wrong though ugh
As an avid ink addict for lotsa years, I simply adore your vids 😊

hahah that was a rough one
What do you think of eyeball tattooing? What about if someone needs surgery at some point where they have ink-I’ve heard it’s dangerous.

I got the tattoo flu after each 9 hour session. The last session was the worst, I felt miserable for 2 weeks straight.
Jesus. Two weeks?!
@@b00tybu77chks yeah but it also didn’t help that I only had 4 hours sleep after the session and had to work the next day. I didn’t really get a chance to sleep it off well. Next time I’ll make sure I’ll get my sessions on a Friday instead of a Monday😂
Right. The problem with most face tattoos isn't that they are on the face but that they are really bad tattoos. On a very visible part of the body.
Beautiful face/head tattoos exist. See the ones of Friedrich Übler (e.g. on Oli Sykes).
The tooth tattoo is fake. You can't tattoo into tooth. It's not skin. Where would the ink go? You can see he's wearing something over his tooth in the final shot
You’re right but what’s horrible is that some dumb person is going to try it and absolutely destroy their teeth in the process
It would go into the enamel I assume
teeth have layers, ink goes into the layer under the enamel, and you can see it as enamel is clear (still not a good idea and won't last but it's real)
@@hotdoggitydig he's wearing a fake fingernail over his tooth. Have a closer look at the final shot. Real tooth "tattoos"are crowns that are inserted by dentists
I can relate with the regret of a good tattoo that you selected and everything and at the end it doesn't feel like you... my trusted tattoo artist does blackwork and fine line so good and I have like five pieces from him and looking to get more because they look so good even after five years.
Then I had this idea for a tattoo that I really wanted, but needed color so I booked another artist and I love it, and then decided to just go forward with another idea with color... and that one... that one I regret so fucking much, the tattoo is ok... heal ok... but it doesn't feel like me and IS sad, I choose that design, I talked with the artist who was lovely, we went back and forth, I was happy with it, but then... while I was driving home I was like: 'I don't like it, it feels weird, I don't like it. I fucked it up, I can't cover it up, is brand new, why did I do this' which I never thought before or even with the first color tattoo.
It sucks, I'm still getting use to it, but I decided to just stick to blackwork which I feel better with from now on.
BEGGING these tiktok tattoo tourists to learn what POV means
In the Women and men conflict, i have both kind of tattoos. Both are equally shitty or amazing. It's the person and their skill, and that's nothing to do with gender. (matter of fact, the worst tattoo experience was with a woman, but it was also with a woman that i had the best experience. so yeah it's the person)
However, i can see why women can feel uneasy with a male tattoo artist and i wont blame them for it. We had enough horror stories from pretty notorious tattoo artists and getting a tattoo can involve a lot of nudity, can get pretty stressing and you can easily be pressured into a tattoo you don't want, or in a part you don't wish to tattoo with somebody you find intimating.
You could do a white over black to rework the ornament on the forearm.
I need a panther cover up.
The winged heart on the heel is cute.
16:41 I witnessed this firsthand after I did a throat tattoo on someone.... one of my favorite sad stories to tell.
He came in and wanted the word "handsome" across his knuckles. I chuckled, thinking it was a joke. He was dead serious. I explained to him that knuckle tattoos fade blah blah blah. I did the tattoo. He came in for a touch up a month later, and told me he wanted "hearthrob" across his throat. I laughed, thinking he was joking. Again, he was so serious. I gave him a ridiculous price, and he said he would save up and get back to me. I tried to talk him out of it as well, once he showed me the font.
A month later he comes in, ready for this tattoo. I'm dreading it. The font is all crazy and ignorant style. He has no other visible tattoos besides "handsome" on his knuckles, and I just know it's a bad idea, but he seems really sure that he wants it. We spend about an hour placing the stencil, then get started. I finish it and he goes to look in the mirror. He's poking at it, and stretching his skin, and sighing. He asks "are you going to.... i don't know, make it better?" I asked what he meant, I gave him exactly what he wanted. I asked if it's what he had in mind, and he just kinda shrugged.
I found out later that he was copying Ryan Gosling's tattoos from some movie called "beyond the pines" or something. I haven't seen him since. I'm not sure if he thought he was going to turn into Ryan Gosling after he got these tattoos or not, but I tried my best to dissuade him along the way.
You should've refused if you were not wanting to do it.
So now you also have regret. That sucks. Stick to your morals, and just good decisions. I understand you probably think he will get it done even worse somewhere else. Well that would be on him, and his regret. Do what's right man. Trust your gut at all times.
@@spookshow6999 if I refused every tattoo I didn't want to do, I would barely work lol its a customer service job, I'm trying to help my customer. I tried to talk to him about it multiple times before we even got to the stencil, but he was dead set on it. I don't regret doing the tattoo for him, because I did the best job I could. I'm not in any position to tell people what to do with their body or what not to get tattooed
You're probably right, about his expectations of what it would look like being based on how it looked in the movie (the film is The Place Beyond the Pines). Besides the fact that those are only 2 of the tattoos out of the 25-30 that the character has, like you mentioned, the character is played by an incredibly athletic handsome Hollywood superstar. To think you could get 2 random tattoos and that it would make you look like Ryan Gosling is just silly, obviously.
A guy having the words “handsome” and “heartthrob” is a turnoff to begin with, but then knowing it wasn’t even an original idea…nope
People who are confused about a tattoo twisting should not get a tattoo and should also not be allowed to vote.
Someone tattooing their eyes hasn’t had a problem with their eyes that interferes with everyday life. Why would anyone risk blindness?
These vids have me looking at my ink wondering if my shit is fucked up.
I tatted my friends moms name on his chest over his heart,…. He couldn’t pick a font basically and I was ready to write it out and then he’s like maybe I’ll use my cursive lol it looks like a toddler wrote on his chest and he somehow blames me hahah it’s like bro that’s your writing you knew
I saw a girl get ivy on her face, and it was really pretty. One of the few I found really interesting. I'm so exhausted by the script under the eye, mandala, spiderweb stuff.
Traditional Maori and Inuit face tattoos are so beautiful. Those are my favorite face tattoos but I also think Maori and Inuit cultures should be respected and that these styles shouldn't go mainstream. So go off, get that face dagger, my dude.
Exactly like indigenous people is like the only face tattoos that I can like accept
why would you get a tooth tattoo when tooth gems exist that can look so cool
Are people seriously just realising that the body twists? These videos make me so angry… keep ‘em coming
Oh and as for the gender thing, why is this even a thing? No one is saying one gender is better at music or writing or even any other art so why is it happening in tattooing?
There's actual whole video essays claiming that men can't write female characters
@@Zockanumber1 I get that and, hey, I’m a guy so I’m not going to argue whether that is true or not, but they’re not saying men can’t write at all. Saying all men are worse tattooers is such a generalised comment, it’s just nonsense.
Are you still doing the viewer tattoo vid?
yes absolutely, i just havent got many submissions yet. ill be reposting and making it a priority in the next few weeks
@kirkfagantattoo also maybe mention it at the start or ending of videos. Some people don't see the community posts.
@@kirkfagantattoo oh word? I'd happily submit my newest tattoo.
I didn’t realize you were doing this either! What platform did you want the images submitted?
@@STARPHASE here’s the email kirkwilljudgeyourtats@yahoo.com but it must be your best and worst tattoo. 😂
After 7 hours for me and I’m getting tattoo flu every time
Bro I'm fineline girl too I'm covering my fineline with traditional atm

I want to get a Tiger in Traditional style by you one day

That tooth tattoo will probably end up costing him $7,000 for an implant
Can you make a video about tik tok tattoos that you like?

The girl at the end is annoying, especially when mixed with her friends telling her it’s all gonna be ok.. 😂😂😂
I love bold.
Wow that twist shit was stupid 😂
How can you even consider the tooth tattoo can be real!? My dude a needle wont pierce a tooth come on
Post Malone, Lil Wayne, i do think it's par for the course to have bad face tattoos if you wanna be a rapper.They all got shitty tattoos on their face.Granted I'll give you that the mace looks pretty cool but on your face i dont get it.
I disagree. On the face tats. Especially covering them. Something's wrong.
You're entitled to your own opinion. That doesn't make his wrong.
Are you Tom Delong’s son?
No but he is my moms brother
@@kirkfagantattoo 😂
This whole men vs women tattoo videos are so sexist it has nothing to do with gender and I mostly see them from women so it seems like they’re just man haters tbh
Can’t wait for this channel to keep expanding, really enjoy your videos!
Everyone has an opinion in my opinion the guy making this video has all dumpy tattoos my one hand tattoo cost 2k. 😂😂😂😂 don’t go to your local tattoo parlour just because they’re close
you got a stick and poke you silly goose, also his have aged and held up really well. good job saying you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@lexdoesstuff339 Who cares what I got. Do your research and spend good money. I don’t like his ink.
