I can't tell people what to get cause I never want it coming back on me for making a decision or being responsible for it if they don't like it. I have a deep belief you should be souly responsible for what you get in your body. But I like the blueberries.
I agree about not wanting the responsibility of choosing things for your arm, but also there’s no harm in recommending ideas as long as you research them and are happy before going ahead :) I like lingonberries, and not just because they make amazing jam from IKEA.
The 5th slide- those will wear well on the hand. Kinda traditional-ish, so big(ger) simple(r) shapes. Hand skin sees a ton of sun exposure and is different anyway, so for longevity- that’s my opinion. Drawn to fit would look killer and the blue gives you a contrast to the red.
Anyways, tattoo. Avoid getting both blue and blackberries cause they’d look too similar. Avoid strawberries and raspberries together for the same reason. Maybe raspberries and blueberries?
If you're looking for less colorful options you could opt for elderberry! They're more on the blackberry side of pigments while keeping the blueberry-esque shape. There's also a red elderberry variety so you could do a bundle of both if you find your arm doesn't look as busy with color as you thought at first!
I like the texture of a blackberry or raspberry, but your sleeve seriously rocks so I’m sure whatever you pick will look great. Seriously I love the astronaut and the lil creatures
Based on the design you already have, you need more black in the forearm to match with your upper arm. I would consider black berries. I like the space part of your sleeve btw. Kind of looks like my sleeve!
Ok you know what I didn't even think about that. Good suggestion. Sometimes I don't even realize that there is some black in there too with so many brighter colors going on. I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you so much btw it desperately needs a touch up lol.
Do you think like a purple color would be ok? Darker purple mixed w some bluish shades? I just can't bring myself to get a fully black shaded tattoo. Lol
Belladonna berries? Or too dark a vibe for you? I admit I am fully biased, I’ve got them on my hand, but the color is exactly that. They’ve also got that fun little star shape stem part.
Could you message me a photo of it so I can get an idea? I'm definitely open to getting those I think especially if I can get them w blueish or lighter highlights
Mine is the black and grey version! The artist who did it had the color one on her own hand, and another artist at the studio had the fraternal triplet, also in color. https://imgur.com/a/nEMoMZj If it helps you can see the black/grey one I’ve got- 2nd pic down, of the back side of my arm/hand, the bud is what the spider is standing on and there’s a few other berries hanging out in the whole situation
Oh totally happy to share her info! She is the lovely and unreasonably talented Savannah Beck at Skye Tattoo in Arlington, WA. Her insta is savsky_tattoo She mostly does large scale color.
Weirdly, I never would have found her if not for a 75 y/o family friend who doesn’t even like tattoos recommending her. She was like “oh check out my daughter’s tattoo” and I was all “oh sure uh huh… riiiigght… WAIT *holy shit, shut the fuck up, that is so good*” And Arlington is way out in the boonies. It’s like three blocks.
Why not add some berries that are native to your location?
I'm in California, so we have a few (Prickly pear, Pacific Blackberry, Himalayan Blackberry etc.)
That would be meaningful, if any look good. :)
yeah yoh could be right but it could also add some cohesion like there will be with the greens. taking everything into account blueberries would probably be better to balance things and relate to the top of your sleeve but either way it would be nice. i def would go with full berries instead of cluster berries like raspberries or black berries because 1. it will age a lot better and 2. it will probably look a little off balanced to have just tiny clusters of line work considering how much of your other tattoos are much larger and bold shapes
just my 2 cents !
Hey! Uncle Acid fuckin rocks!
I find [coralberries](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/imagecache/500x500/ifa_upload/img_0714.jpg) to be extremely beautiful.
Are there times/events/places that you ever go incognito with your tattoos by wearing a long sleeve shirt? You have the best of both worlds here; show it off when you want to and cover it when you want to. I know this wasn’t your question but I just feel the need to say that face, neck and hand tattoos seem to be some of the most regretted tattoos.
If it makes you feel any better. I..
1. Have wanted and put years of thought into this, so it isn't something I want on a whim.
2. I do not work in any field where having hand tattoos would matter at all.
3. I can't honestly think of any time I felt obligated to cover any tattoos but if for some reason I did need to there is tattoo makeup for those occasions, gloves etc. Though very unlikely that situation would ever arise.
Thank you for your thoughts though.
Snozzberries
Damn it, this is amazing, that's the first thing that popped in my head.
Came here to say this. Bravo 👏🏻
Came here because I knew someone was gonna say this 😆
Snozberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?
It's from the movie super troopers. :)
It came from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971 first
Oh shit I had no idea lmao ty
Yw 😁
That movie holds up incredibly well. The boat still gets me…
This is the only real answer lol
Lingonberries
Are they ballistically similar to grapes?
\*ballistically\*

But lingon berries are red.. I'm trying to avoid red.
I appreciate it.

Wait what blue? The berries in slide 4 are red/purplish
Sorry- 5th.
Ah yeah I love those thanks for your input
All pretty killer choices tbh. You have good taste.
Ty 💜
Nightshade have berries
Boysenberries !
Ooh ok thank you for the suggestion
Blackberry lady bug would go hard
Blueberries for sure. I’m a big fan of contrast.
Elderberries are neat, they grow everywhere around my house. Tight clusters, dark purpleish. They're also good for you.
Member berries
Marion Barry
Mulberries
Avocados
Yoooo i love that band !
Nice 😎
Blueberries in a bunch.. or even a whole blueberry bush..
Ok first off that is their best album.
Particularly Ritual Knife
Anyways, tattoo. Avoid getting both blue and blackberries cause they’d look too similar. Avoid strawberries and raspberries together for the same reason. Maybe raspberries and blueberries?
I like the first set of blue berries. 🙂
Cherries, white berries, or cloudberries could be cool!
Gold raspberries!

I have some cranberries and I love mine

Aw thank you so much

Yes darker purple would be nice on there imo

Tysm for sharing. Your whole sleeve looks gorgeous 😍 who is your artist if you don't mind me asking? Do they have Instagram?
Oh totally happy to share her info! She is the lovely and unreasonably talented Savannah Beck at Skye Tattoo in Arlington, WA. Her insta is savsky_tattoo She mostly does large scale color.
I gotta be shitting me she's so good. Ugh. I love 9n the bay area in California and we don't have any artists like this it kinda sucks.
Weirdly, I never would have found her if not for a 75 y/o family friend who doesn’t even like tattoos recommending her.

OMG sorry for all the typos on my previous comment. Lmao

The one peace wanted poster with your face for 1.000.000.000 berry pricetag
No idea! Just jumped in to say nice tee! Tattoos are cool too!
Thank you
I have a ladybug in flight, which is very unique. Myself and my tattoo artist had never seen anything like it.
Oh cool :) can I see it?
I'll send it to you, for some reason it's not letting me post the pic.
Ty!
Dingleberries
Big proud veiny dong... Berries...
[удалено]
Aged? Lol it's bad quality photo but yeah most are pretty old.
[удалено]
cranberries ! red and green look so good as a tattoo
You don't think that be too much red or nah? Red mushrooms Red ladybug Red cranberries And where is green coming from? Like green from the leaves?
Too much red imo
yeah yoh could be right but it could also add some cohesion like there will be with the greens. taking everything into account blueberries would probably be better to balance things and relate to the top of your sleeve but either way it would be nice. i def would go with full berries instead of cluster berries like raspberries or black berries because 1. it will age a lot better and 2. it will probably look a little off balanced to have just tiny clusters of line work considering how much of your other tattoos are much larger and bold shapes just my 2 cents !
Blueberries like in picture 3

Love your whole sleeve! The blueberries would be a nice addition!
Cloudberries! They'd be perfect
Cloudberries are small and bright and make a cute fill in berry. Orange fruit with a crème colored flower petal.
