    Im interested what you mean by "line weights", are you refering to thicker lines on the right places? Like the closer to the "camera" the lines should be thicker? or do you mean that just certain parts should have thicker lines in general? You are mentioning a thicker outline on the cyclops tattoo. I recently find your channel and you are talking about line weights a lot. Im thinking about getting myself a couple of tattoos and also like to draw myself, SO im trying to learn while im doin my research for my future tattoos, draw my own designs aswell, and therefore I want to learn what to think about if I wanna draw my own tattoos :)

    The "unnecessary" knife in the ear of the skull is part of the theme. It's indicating that the skull can't hear because it has a knife in its ear, although the other two have parchment covering the body parts so doing that again probably would have been a better option than the knife.

    • @anaherceg7697

      Something no larger than your hand in a relatively inconspicuous area. My first two are on my shoulders, so they're easily covered with a t shirt, not everyone will hire someone with visible tattoos. Always look through the artist's portfolio to ensure they do decent work. Never go to a home tattooer.
      If you really don't care what you get, you can ask the artist to just come up with something that they like.

Then I grab another M&M and force it to compete with the champion in this deadly game of M&M gladiators. I do this until I run out of M&Ms and when there is only one M&M left standing, I send a letter to M&Ms brand with the champion M&M in it with a note attached that reads: "please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
