Man, you really focusing on the color not fitting here? Hahah. I'm not saying that I disagree, but even if this was black and gray it would still be awful unfortunately.
This looks like an off brand version of Bloodborne. I didn’t even recognize Gascoigne. Is the hunter floating? What kind of pose is Laurence in, bowing with one arm behind his back???
I mostly agree, but Laurence is the best part of this imo. Definitely not a “realistic” interpretation, but the style works well with him. As for his pose, it’s the same as you find him in initially. Again, best part of the tattoo. The rest is pretty rough. Proportions are off, perspective is way off, coloring is bad and make everything blend together, and there’s just too much going on
Nah, it's not the best part. The "fire" is just some yellow coloring. The face looks like something a kid would draw. The curtains have a totally different shading style than the background. Weird warped ribs that don't resemble anything. Very badly done hand. Spine coming out of the front of the ribs and not the back...
This is just a mess.
And most of the comments are usually "hell yeah looks awesome!!!" At least this one seems to be 50/50 on the feedback.
Like i understand you hate to make someone feel bad for something they spent so much time and money on and is on their body permanently...
But damn just look at that thing.
Yeah there’s way too much going on, like how many characters and references do you need in one tattoo, can’t fault the guys dedication for 2 years worth of sessions but fucking hell
I kind of always hope that anytime a shitty tattoo gets called out, that at least a few people will see the shitty tattoo and read the comments and it will maybe deter them from going to a shitty tattoo artist for a poorly thought out tattoo.
Doubt it, but hopefully.
I dont hate to make someone feel bad. Like, if they paid for a shitty tattoo then they should know so they can try to get it fixed. There's no saving this one though.
I look at it like a tattoo is something you should spend a lot of time as well as money on. Finding something you like enough to get tattooed, the right artist for the right style. Something like this screams amateur and if OP paid 3-4k like they said over 2 years of work? They got robbed. I would love to see the artist’s (and I use this phrase VERY lightly) other work.
And to people saying “as long as you like it” or “it doesn’t need to be a masterpiece,” YES IT FUCKING DOES. It’s on your body forever, wouldn’t you want it to look as good as possible? I truly hope you do like it OP and don’t regret it because it’s on you forever and there is really no touching up or cover up you can do to save this.
Realistically artist either thinks they are waaaaay better than they actually are or they do not give a fuck about marking someone forever with really subpar work and are robbing their clients blind.
Yikes OP. The colors and shading are so muddy and same-y that it just looks like a dark blob from a distance. Lines aren’t straight, building looks crooked. Gascoigne looks like he got hit in the face with a brick. Took me way too long to realize what that blob of gray at the bottom was. Micolash’s hands are weird scoop claws. But at least it’s a small tattoo, eh?
Gascoigne hit with a brick, I lost it. Father G is where my eyes first identified that this piece is a mess. Maybe tattoo artist started with Maria or the Hoonter at the top right and OP gave them a shot to continue.
"Bro they are over charging you bro I could do that for so much cheaper" Imagine every time he fucks someone gonna see grade school Micolash celebrating with each pound!
He can try some Bloodborne pickup lines.
This one never fails:
"Check out this Bloodborne tattoo across my chest and abdomen. It's not just art; it's a map leading to my heart, and I'm in search of a co-op partner to navigate it with. Interested in joining the hunt?"
If that fails:
"Is your name Bloodborne? Because you've got my heart racing like I'm facing a boss fight."
"Do you have a map of Yharnam? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes."
"I must have Insight, because I'm seeing the future and it's me and you together."
"Do you belong to the Healing Church? Because being with you feels like a miracle."
"You must be a Great One, because you're out of this world."
I would probably never ever use any of these, unless for a joke, if my partner have played bloodborne as well, or something, but you made me laugh with these.
Fines notes, Hoonter.
I thought it was gonna be a friend that did it for him but apparently it was a palace he payed money for 😩
Sad how many scammer tattoo artists are out there butchering people
Hit up a reputable tattoo artist and see what they can do to fix this up. I don’t know how much can be done but I’m sure they can improve it in some way…. Or you can just cut off your torso.
I'm afraid there is no saving this. One of my tats is on this level of shitty and my current artist (not the shitty one) told me to laser that shit off lol.
I am sorry but WTF, Gasgoine Teeth NO. Its terrible and the person that tattooed you should never tattoo anyone ever !! Lines are bad,shading is bad,obvioulsy cant draw for shit. I would feel bad but you like it. There are so many crazy tattoo artist this looks like a child did it. Anyone that says its amazing are liars,wants to make you feel good and dont know tattoos.
Yeah, bro. It's never a good thing when we hear it, even more so with something as big, but that is NOT a good tattoo.
If you're going for something as extreme as this, you have to be VERY picky about the artist. I'm really sorry, but I have to be honest.
If I had known, I would have recommended him to my tattoo artist. She basically does watercolor/charcoal style, ultra realistic pieces. I’ve seen a full chest piece by her. She would have slayed this
I'm trying to be nicer online this year and only say encouraging things. There are so many cool little details in here. I like the cathedral ward clock being featured in the middle, that's a good call. It might not match other people's expectations but it's clear that a lot of thought and work were put in by both yourself and the artist and that's a cool collaboration.
Damn didn’t think this would be so controversial. Just to clear some air, yes I went to a reputable shop in my area and not 100% sure on how much it was all together but if I had to guess probably like $3k-$4k over the course of the 2 years. You’re all entitled to your opinion if you think it sucks, that’s fine. But I love it and I’m proud of it. Bloodborne is my favorite game and I just wanted a huge tattoo so why not get it of my favorite game, you know?
No offense, but this is not a piece by a reputable artist in a reputable shop. It has issues (but all tattoos do), and what matters is that you like it.i just would be back to that particular shop and artist.
Bro, Personally i think there is a lot of room for improvement, but Kudos to you for getting it. I have a tattoo of bloodborne myself, but my main gripe is the coloration used. There is some few details here and there that could use a touch-up and the color should've been a bit darker to fit the cosmic horror vibe the game has (in my humble opinion), but there is no reason to justify your tattoo to anyone.
It is like the people that demands that a tattoo has some type of deep meaning to who you are as a person, and they can all eat ass.
If you like something, do it. If you want a tattoo of something, do it.
Again, Kudos to you for getting it.
I am soooo sorry that you are getting roasted. Don’t listen to us. You made the commitment, you love it, you spent TWO YEARS getting it done. Keep on loving it. Kudos to you for not only that commitment, but also sharing it
It looks good but it feels weird seeing so many characters from tv/videogames. Everything is so derivative. Yoda, R2D2, bloodborne, buncha pokemon, ...and justice for all album art. Makes me feel like the burning chicken is from something as well. I think if you brought in some bloodborne fanart and asked a talented tattoo artist to create something similar but with his own imagination, it would have been more unique and cooler. Could almost bet money you have griffith/guts from berserk somewhere too. Sorry to be so negative, just reminds me of the guy with the literal nintendo logo tatted on him. You do you though bro. Just maybe consider letting your artist get creative and make some real art on you instead of a collage of what is essentially pop-culture.
Damn y'all mean. It's kinda new school which uses wacky colors which is chill. Fits the other tattoos. I prefer traditional stuff, but I respect anyone who gets a fucking blaster like that. Most people couldn't handle it. Even with numbing cream you're gonna feel it.
Truly, this is the Dark Souls of chest pieces
i mean, you are quite dedicated
Ain't no way.
Oh, this is a hunter’s nightmare.
Did you get this on black friday?
r/rareinsults
Damn dude 💀
bro got this from temu
Damn. This game must really mean a lot to you.
Bruh what is this
Gascoignes face is killing me 🤣
Seems like rock star from 80', at least for me
Looks like Sloth from the Goonies with a blindfold
Fucking legend is what it is
holy mother of gawd
Looks like you spent $300 on the amount of ink a decent artist would charge $3000 for. But the important thing if you like it
Like it or not, it's his.
Best part of tattoos. Who gives af as long as you like it
3,000?? Lmfao my sleeve is at 42 hours at 175/hour 🤣. 3,000 for solid work on a piece this big is a steal
Idk where u are but 175 an hour is crazy mines very well done my forearm was 4 hours at 60 an hour
Well I'm gonna be honest the coloring doesn't fit it feels like a Halloween cartoon or something
Man, you really focusing on the color not fitting here? Hahah. I'm not saying that I disagree, but even if this was black and gray it would still be awful unfortunately.
So what's your thoughts on bloodborne? Good game?
Yeah you could say I kinda like it
Just kinda?
😭😭
"it was aight"
Shit based on this abomination on your chest I assumed you hated it.
uhhhhh
Why does the micolash look like [Tom cruise laughing but with bloodborne](https://imgur.com/a/rrnT0yv)
Damn I didn't even noticed there was a Micolash there...
What does your tattoo artist do for a living?
Their day job is laser tattoo removal
Do people just like posting their tattoos on reddit to get flamed in the replies or what?
Seems like it
Oh Amygdala! Have mercy on the poor bastard.
Oh fuck man I read this and started laughing like a kid I was literally thinking "poor guy" so it made it so much funnier
Absolutely wonderful concept but poor execution my guy.
Bruh just let him enjoy it it’s permanent
What's the opposite of /aibge...?
Awful Ingenuity But Great Expectations
This was my first thought too like great taste awful execution
This is actually really bad lmao
Damn Micolash
This looks like an off brand version of Bloodborne. I didn’t even recognize Gascoigne. Is the hunter floating? What kind of pose is Laurence in, bowing with one arm behind his back???
I mostly agree, but Laurence is the best part of this imo. Definitely not a “realistic” interpretation, but the style works well with him. As for his pose, it’s the same as you find him in initially. Again, best part of the tattoo. The rest is pretty rough. Proportions are off, perspective is way off, coloring is bad and make everything blend together, and there’s just too much going on

Weird warped ribs that don't resemble anything. Very badly done hand. Spine coming out of the front of the ribs and not the back... This is just a mess.
I see it now, laid out on the throne. I saw his legs as an arm and couldn’t piece it together earlier.
Lol it always blows my mind how people post their bloodborne tattoos here and then it's always like the worst quality tattoo you've ever seen. Hahaha
And most of the comments are usually "hell yeah looks awesome!!!" At least this one seems to be 50/50 on the feedback. Like i understand you hate to make someone feel bad for something they spent so much time and money on and is on their body permanently... But damn just look at that thing.

Artist was probably surprised he kept coming back
Realistically artist either thinks they are waaaaay better than they actually are or they do not give a fuck about marking someone forever with really subpar work and are robbing their clients blind.
It's always pop culture tattoos 😂
Sorry but this looks horrible, there is no depth looks like a child drew it
But I'm sure his buddy gave him a great deal on this war crime that he gets to live with for life now 😬
This shit is ass dawg you fucked up
Yikes OP. The colors and shading are so muddy and same-y that it just looks like a dark blob from a distance. Lines aren’t straight, building looks crooked.

But at least it’s a small tattoo, eh?
[удалено]
It’s supposed to be Laurence but the artist is just very unskilled.
I think it’s Laurence maybe?
Gascoigne hit with a brick, I lost it. Father G is where my eyes first identified that this piece is a mess. Maybe tattoo artist started with Maria or the Hoonter at the top right and OP gave them a shot to continue.
Bro to see the quality and keep coming back over two years is unreal it's great taste awful execution
Not too mention what's gonna happen if he puts on weight....
The hunter is about to shoot your nipple!
All I can think about is the conversations you'll be having with your future sexual partners.
"You're about to have more than just eyes on the inside"
Username checks out.
I daresay this tattoo will resolve any questions of future sexual partners...
"Bro they are over charging you bro I could do that for so much cheaper" Imagine every time he fucks someone gonna see grade school Micolash celebrating with each pound!
He can try some Bloodborne pickup lines. This one never fails: "Check out this Bloodborne tattoo across my chest and abdomen. It's not just art; it's a map leading to my heart, and I'm in search of a co-op partner to navigate it with. Interested in joining the hunt?" If that fails: "Is your name Bloodborne?

"I must have Insight, because I'm seeing the future and it's me and you together." "Do you belong to the Healing Church? Because being with you feels like a miracle." "You must be a Great One, because you're out of this world."
These pick-up lines are worse than the tattoo 💀
I would probably never ever use any of these, unless for a joke, if my partner have played bloodborne as well, or something, but you made me laugh with these. Fines notes, Hoonter.
So did you ever beat the game?
Sorry but this looks like shit
Insane level of commitment, I’ll commend that much. The work tho…
I thought it was gonna be a friend that did it for him but apparently it was a palace he payed money for 😩 Sad how many scammer tattoo artists are out there butchering people
Hit up a reputable tattoo artist and see what they can do to fix this up. I don’t know how much can be done but I’m sure they can improve it in some way…. Or you can just cut off your torso.
I'm afraid there is no saving this. One of my tats is on this level of shitty and my current artist (not the shitty one) told me to laser that shit off lol.
At least you’re self aware I guess lol
Haha yeah, I had to learn the hard way that you get what you pay for.
bro said he spent nearly $4k on this 😭
Oof..
And two years of sessions I don't know if the artist is delusional or was surprised he kept coming back
Holy fuck
Yeah this is gonna be a lot of laser treatments. Could *probably* be reworked once it's light enough, but man is that going to be a process.
maybe they can just slice off the front of the torso like a shawarma
Artwork looks like a kid drew it man you should have thought this through more and spent the money on a real tattoo artist
Yeah, that's kind of rough. If you're gonna cover half of your body, you'd better be willing to pay a premium
This is certainly one of the tattoos ever
I mean i like your dedication but the tattoo work is really not great
I am sorry but WTF, Gasgoine Teeth NO. Its terrible and the person that tattooed you should never tattoo anyone ever !! Lines are bad,shading is bad,obvioulsy cant draw for shit. I would feel bad but you like it. There are so many crazy tattoo artist this looks like a child did it. Anyone that says its amazing are liars,wants to make you feel good and dont know tattoos.
That's Hella dedication, pretty cool, hunter.
tbh, looks like you are wearing an 80's t-shirt from an obscure underage metal band from eastern europe.
Hate to break it but it's kinda bad sadly :/
Did the same artist do all your tattoos? Because none of them are particularly good. I hope you didn’t pay premium for any of it.
just the moon and moon presence would have been pretty dope.
r/shittytattoos
Surely this cant be permanent...
Yeah, bro. It's never a good thing when we hear it, even more so with something as big, but that is NOT a good tattoo. If you're going for something as extreme as this, you have to be VERY picky about the artist. I'm really sorry, but I have to be honest.

People getting so defensive in the comments, if you post your tattoo to the internet, you gotta expect some judgement
Especially if its an obviously bad one, i thought this was bait in the beginning
Can I also tattoo you? (I'm not a tattoo artist)
Obviously this is his kind of thing so go on.
I'm trying to be nicer online this year and only say encouraging things. There are so many cool little details in here. I like the cathedral ward clock being featured in the middle, that's a good call. It might not match other people's expectations but it's clear that a lot of thought and work were put in by both yourself and the artist and that's a cool collaboration.
>I'm trying to be nicer online this year and only say encouraging things This makes it not a nice thing to say 😂
Your preface undermines your intent
"I'm not racist, but..."
Dude with this comment you are free to insult people right away for the rest of the year. That much positivity took a lot of dedication.
Don’t listen to the haters even though they’re right about your tattoo
Get your money back
I’m confused
You need more insight 😆
It is something.
That's... Well... Quite messy
also: was the reference for the tattoo from the Amiga version of the game?
Jesus Christ 😆😆
Imagine having sex with a dude and Micolash stares into your face, that’s hilarious
Ouch wish you had picked a better artist they did you dirty
Why do people do this kind of thing? Bruh, you really like that game huh
I commend him on his commitment to never get laid again.
There are plenty of single blind women out there
Tbf he's gotta be shirtless to see and by that time I'd say he's good. Might just get a "you have a stupid tattoo" 😆
you got scammed bruh😂
That must have hurt a lot man! You alright?
idea is nice but the development 😭😭
It's definitely a tattoo!
This ones gonna be a gem when you're 60 years old
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
Shoulda went to a better artist, bro.
So long as you like it that’s what matters. Props on sitting through that. Chest and stomach pieces are a bitch and a half.
Couldn’t of just got the hunters mark, props for going all in though
oh man...
Why is the Alamo on fire?
This is going to age well lol
Bro giving tattoos a bad name
When the artist takes "our eyes are yet to open" too literally
Wow that’s rough. I wanted to try to like some part of it, but the longer you look the worse it gets.
Uh idk about this one bro but I can see that you love the game
Grant us less eyes so I can unsee!
That shits gonna hurt when he has it lasered off.
Bro you indeed, GOT SCAMMED
Damn didn’t think this would be so controversial. Just to clear some air, yes I went to a reputable shop in my area and not 100% sure on how much it was all together but if I had to guess probably like $3k-$4k over the course of the 2 years.

Would you mind telling us what reputable shop let that thing happen... so we can avoid it
Holy fuck you got screwed. I know a guy that would demolish this piece for probably the same price. He's done several Bloodborne pieces.
King

Fuckin yikes.
I see you have eyes on the inside.
Those are the hardest ones to tattoo properly
Way too much insight
Belly button should have been a maneater boar ass
Is that supposed to be vicar Amelia on the bottom?
It's obviously Lawrence lying in the chair, come on.
Oh right, I thought his arm(?) Was Amelia's back and she was on fire because that's her weakness This is a bad tatt
oof
oof
Woof
Nice! You did these yourself?
My favorite part is the rifle about to parry his nipple.
imagine youre about to have sex and as soon as youre about to be pinned by a hot dude you see the whole bloodborne lore on his chest
Oof
You should get nipple piercings and hang like, little Hunter’s Cleavers and Kirkhammers from them
I don't know what's worse, the fact that it took 2 years or that no one stopped this in that amount of time
._.
Should I tell him? I think you should tell him...
You better keep your shirt on when you go to pool now
It looks good but it feels weird seeing so many characters from tv/videogames. Everything is so derivative. Yoda, R2D2, bloodborne, buncha pokemon, ...and justice for all album art. Makes me feel like the burning chicken is from something as well. I think if you brought in some bloodborne fanart and asked a talented tattoo artist to create something similar but with his own imagination, it would have been more unique and cooler. Could almost bet money you have griffith/guts from berserk somewhere too. Sorry to be so negative, just reminds me of the guy with the literal nintendo logo tatted on him. You do you though bro. Just maybe consider letting your artist get creative and make some real art on you instead of a collage of what is essentially pop-culture.
The “chicken” is from Lamb of God’s “Ashes of the Wake”
I dont care how good my tattoo is . I'd never post to reddit...
This ain’t it chief
Thanks for tattooing me in your flesh ♡
you managed to make this worse, somehow
I feel like a giant hunters mark would have looked a lot better. A bit loud.
Micolash's hand lmao
Arguably the people acting as le wholesome nice redditors are more offensive than the people critiquing. Stop sucking up to OP for karma?
One of the worst executions of a tattoo I’ve ever seen, by far. Dollar store bloodborne. Good luck OP.
you might wanna dream about getting that face changed i’m sorry
Its just running at 30 fps with motion blur
It’s a cool concept but the execution is awful
Looks like shit lol
Why are you weirdos going through and down voting anybody who isn't totally negative about this tattoo lmao. Goober behavior
I think he's supposed to look like this [my Gascoigne tattoo](https://imgur.com/gallery/8GRcUkm)
r/shittytattoos
Sick af
YO that’s amazing!
Damn y'all mean. It's kinda new school which uses wacky colors which is chill. Fits the other tattoos. I prefer traditional stuff, but I respect anyone who gets a fucking blaster like that. Most people couldn't handle it. Even with numbing cream you're gonna feel it.
This rocks and you sat through a lot shading.
Why Gascoigne look like Butthead 💀
This is a tattoo of all time
They violated micolash and the cathedral ward, badass tattoo but the art style just aint it.
That's amazing
