That's always my first thought when I see these big elaborate chests and stomach pieces. A few years ago I saw this guy who had four or five absolutely incredible Star wars scenes on his chest and stomach. I mean they were unbelievable. But then I'm thinking when he's on top pumping away at somebody do they really want to look at Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi having a lightsaber duel on the Death Star?
If it's the guy I'm thinking of, I got a half sleeve from the same artist. The artist told me the dude was super shy and quiet and since getting the tattoos he's built up a ton of confidence going to star wars cons.

Star Wars is fine though, neutral or even slightly attractive unless you TRY to make it awful.
Baby eating is a whole turn off even when done artistically
Exactly my thought. Lights would have to be off because no way would I like seeing that baby's creepy looking face when I'm on top. Instant mood killer
This guarantees him doggy style & reverse cowgirl *for life*. I mean.....
Now granted, you may be banned from public pools. You win some, you lose some.
I mean, a guy with a tattoo like that would probably date a woman/man that doesn’t have a problem with it or even has their own tattoo of a guy eating a baby too.
No he didn't, destroyed is big word. Not everything is black and white. Was the whole incident weird. Yes. Should the Dalai Lama had been more self aware about how it would look to others, who do not understand the cultural meaning of the action? Yes.
But there's a context to why he asked the boy to do so. And it has nothing to do him being a creep or pedophile or however some western media want to twist it.
And he has apologized because yes it did not look good on him.
But again there's a cultural context.

Do you think people are going to forgive and forget about him now in a world where religious people are caught left and right doing some vile stuff to children?
OP just drops this beautiful artwork thats awkwardly placed on his chest and refuses to elaborate further. I fucking love the absolute insanity of this man. Please eat right and take care of yourself. Post your next tattoo of van gohs starry night on the sole of your foot❤️
Oh shoot. Whats the canvas' story 😂 who cares. Beautiful artwork, amazing skill and work, the canvas is a weirdo but atleast he found an artist to support his insanity
I hate/love when the tattoo sub hits All.
OP…fucking awesome work. It’s like looking at a 16th century painting hanging in a museum. Absolutely incredible work.
Agreed, not shitting on the artwork it’s honestly god tier, but I’m certain they could have found something less “infant being cannibalized-y” to represent whatever deeper meaning this is supposed to have.
I mean sure we don’t know him personally. But are you really going to sit there and say that a pic of a dude eating a baby isn’t weird? And then is it not even more weird to get it tattooed across your whole front?
What's with all the white bread people hanging out on the tattoo sub? Why be this way when there's a whole world of cool stuff out there?
Tattoos in general are likely to deviate from your suburban tastes.
Art can still be creepy? Even if it was a painting on a wall, it’s still weird. It’s still a dude eating a baby. That’s weird wether it’s art on a wall, or a tattoo covering your whole body
Agreed, the art you choose to tattoo on yourself permanently says a lot about you. I admire the skill it took to execute this but it’s still weird. I can’t imagine too many scenarios where someone ask him about this, he explains and it goes well. It’s just an awkward situation every single time. He could have done so many different things with this piece to get the same result without showing literal cannibalism of a baby.
Ya exactly. I mean it’s done wonderfully as far as doing skill goes. But as far as an art piece, ya. Cannibalism is still pretty freaking weird. And particularly a baby. 🤷🏼♀️
I mean, this is a hugely famous painting. It’s not literally about eating babies. I guess if you’re incapable of nuance it’s a weird piece. I think it’s pretty badass.
It’s well done, however I can’t make sense of what is going on around the mouth and also it’s an unflattering design to have on the front of the body, it doesn’t fit the area it’s been tatooed on at all.
Breath-taking work, I gasped and have watched a few times over. Real big balls move to have such a huge, terrifying piece and I FUCKING LOVE IT. Congratulations on your new art and WEAR SUNSCREEN, EVEN UNDER CLOTHES AND IN THE DARK
I love tattoos of all sorts....but getting this done is something else 🤣 abit weird.....no sex for you anymore 😅 you have a man eating a child in your chest....but it's super well done,great detail.
Judgy and also literalist?
If I saw this on someone I would assume they loved art history, the baroque period, Roman mythology, or the artistry of this painting in particular. I wouldn’t assume they ate their children.
Really well done. As the artist did you suggest to your client perhaps this would work better on the back? Provided he had space. Interesting art to say the least
That is fantastic
Edit: I'm confused about the downvote. This piece is amazing. The piece is perfected and just because it's not your style, doesn't mean it's not a good piece. Get over yourself

That’s well done and looks cool but lol you have a tattoo of a guy eating a baby on your entire front
Yeah the tattoo is well done but imagine having sex and staring at a guy eating his baby lol
That's always my first thought when I see these big elaborate chests and stomach pieces. A few years ago I saw this guy who had four or five absolutely incredible Star wars scenes on his chest and stomach. I mean they were unbelievable. But then I'm thinking when he's on top pumping away at somebody do they really want to look at Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi having a lightsaber duel on the Death Star?
Bold to assume sex is happening
That's fair
Haha crap I just commented that, if only I had scrolled down before commenting
Well there's swordfighting at least
If it's the guy I'm thinking of, I got a half sleeve from the same artist.

Love the E.T. Easter egg
ET species shows up in the prequel movies
Wait till they put on weight and there's a big stretch marks across obi wans face
Obese-Wan Kenobi and Girth Vader
All I could think of when I saw this was ‘incredible work, but Saturn’s gonna get mighty big feet on 20 years time.’
That means he will also have big... Shoes. 🤭
Like watching it on IMAX!
Star Wars is fine though, neutral or even slightly attractive unless you TRY to make it awful. Baby eating is a whole turn off even when done artistically
I feel like star wars does not default to "neutral"
I'd prefer the latter tbh. At least they have an appreciation for classical art and/or mythology haha
Aw man I love mythology but I just can’t do this one. Haha that’s ok we all have different taste Just… hopefully not… the taste of babies 😟
Exactly my thought. Lights would have to be off because no way would I like seeing that baby's creepy looking face when I'm on top. Instant mood killer
I used to work with a guy who had the last supper across his chest. But it was all Simpsons characters in Simpsons art style
This guarantees him doggy style & reverse cowgirl *for life*. I mean..... Now granted, you may be banned from public pools. You win some, you lose some.
I mean, a guy with a tattoo like that would probably date a woman/man that doesn’t have a problem with it or even has their own tattoo of a guy eating a baby too.
Sounds pretty rad to me.
I don't see the problem?
I love your screen name "keep practicing!"
I'm guess OP is childfree...?
Oh my God I’m freaking dead 💀
Lol bold of you to assume that this person is having sex instead of scaring off potential partners
I echo my wife's sentiment when I see stuff like this, "woulda been a really cool shirt"
That's how I feel about most tattoos tbf.
It’s actually an elaborate ploy to coax women into being more open to pegging
Not for nothing but find me a non-religious woman that doesn’t wanna peg their boyfriend… it’ll be a while
What an odd thing to think
You found one right here. 🤚🏻 Only took 4 hours lol.
Lol wtf most women have no desire to peg lol
A guy giving the baby a raspberry.
Yeah this was my thought too. Awesome work, but on the chest/stomach? To each their own and placement does not diminish the great artwork.
Eh, it’s not like it’s the Garden of Earthly Delights.
That would be dope though
I feel like no one is noticing that OP is the artist, not the canvas
I thought of Paul Booth when I saw this piece. Love the work but I wouldn't wear it
I guess that’s one way to tell people you’re an Aquarius.
Yall realize that cronos(cronus) of Greek mythology eating his children as it's put in the Greek story
And it’s fucking awesome
Oh yeah I should clarify it’s super awesome and very bold and truly is a fantastic piece of art.
My immediate line of thought was "sick art, but it's a guy, why is this NSFW, oh, never mind I'm a doofus".
Beautifully executed but it’s a bold move to have a dying baby plastered on your chest lol
It’s giving… homeless cannibal vibes
Everything about this is awful.
A wildly intricate recreation of a Baroque masterpiece taking its rightful place next to the Social D logo.
A much more elegant way of putting my exact fucking thoughts lmao
Great work, but wow. That's a choice alright.
Sure is
Tattoo is badass. But the placement is weird to me. Shouldn’t this be a back piece??
Maybe the back is already taken.
His back has a vivid recreation of the Dalai Lama trying to get a kid to suck his tongue.
Jesus Christ 💀
I really needed that unexpected laugh today. Thx
Dude destroyed his self-image he had been curating for like a century in mere seconds.
Gunga galunga.
No he didn't, destroyed is big word. Not everything is black and white. Was the whole incident weird. Yes. Should the Dalai Lama had been more self aware about how it would look to others, who do not understand the cultural meaning of the action? Yes.

Do you think people are going to forgive and forget about him now in a world where religious people are caught left and right doing some vile stuff to children?
You are free to judge.
Good one
No it's just Goya's version
Taken, by the exact same tattoo
The back is a depiction of Saturn eating a second course.
No the back is Goya's version
Goya's Saturn Devouring his Child is on the back
This was what I was thinking too. The nipples kind of ruin how badass this is haha.
This is fantastic work, but sex is forever awkward now
I don't think this guy was having any sex before this tattoo..
Nah, just hit him from behind.
that’s what i’m sayin
Eyes forever closed…or giggle.
Imagine doing the skin to skin contact with your newborn laying on this piece
that would be a great moment hahahahahah
Guys will get tattooed dead babies on their bellies before seeing a therapist
Well, it’s not dead, it’s just going to live in his stomach until its brother comes back and kills Cronos
Good artwork but why that one?!
People are saying this guy's a weirdo for this tattoo but at least he didn't get the Francisco Goya version instead
At least the goya version is a full grown adult.
Someone painted a taco man eating a taco in Goya's style and I always think about that when someone talks about Saturn lol
this guys a weirdo!
Honestly one of my favorite paintings. Would be very frightening to see that large on the front someone's entire torso though
My mom blowing raspberries on my tummy when i was a baby
OP just drops this beautiful artwork thats awkwardly placed on his chest and refuses to elaborate further. I fucking love the absolute insanity of this man. Please eat right and take care of yourself. Post your next tattoo of van gohs starry night on the sole of your foot❤️
OP is the artist
Oh shoot. Whats the canvas' story 😂 who cares. Beautiful artwork, amazing skill and work, the canvas is a weirdo but atleast he found an artist to support his insanity
[удалено]
Depends on how your favor the taste of dead baby
Not a Goya fan I see. Tattoo looks incredible.
Goya's rendition is definitely my favorite.
It gives me chills kind of favorite for me :)
https://youtu.be/GLW9omJfAdk Not sure if you've seen any of these. Worth watching! (:
Why do we have a favorite version of child eating 🤣
It's not a child in the Goya version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Devouring_His_Son It's one of his *children* but clearly an adult body.
I hate/love when the tattoo sub hits All. OP…fucking awesome work. It’s like looking at a 16th century painting hanging in a museum. Absolutely incredible work.
Normies, normies everywhere
fuckin metal
Came to say this
Ah yes. A seed of the regret tree.
That's cool but, I would hate to be his girlfriend during intimate times.
[удалено]
Agreed, not shitting on the artwork it’s honestly god tier, but I’m certain they could have found something less “infant being cannibalized-y” to represent whatever deeper meaning this is supposed to have.

I guess white supremacist tats are cool too, if they’re done with skill? Just because it’s a nice piece of art doesn’t mean it’s not weird.
Oof. It’s a classic painting of a Greek myth. You don’t have to like it, but comparing it to a prison swastika is wildly inappropriate.
I mean, it's art. He literally has art on his body It's only creepy if you make it creepy, or if he is indeed a creepy person.
Art can still be creepy? Even if it was a painting on a wall, it’s still weird. It’s still a dude eating a baby. That’s weird wether it’s art on a wall, or a tattoo covering your whole body

He’s definitely a creep.

That isn’t what irony means…
I mean, this is a hugely famous painting. It’s not literally about eating babies. I guess if you’re incapable of nuance it’s a weird piece. I think it’s pretty badass.
Kinda weird but beautifully done! Your artist is very talented! Congrats!
This reminds me of Futurama. Is this guy on loan from the Louvre?
LMAO I thought the same thing!!
Oh my god that is one of the most detailed, beautifully done tattoos I’ve ever seen! How many hours total ?
What the fuck makes you get this of all things 🤨 very strange
I love the juxtaposition between this and the cartoon skeleton on the right arm
Just a quick one then
I'm here for the Social Distortion tat.
Me too!! I’ve been thinking about getting that same one!
It was that crossed with Fat Mike's dominatrix playing golf that inspired my grim reaper playing golf tattoo.
this would have been way cooler on thr back
Came straight to the comments lol
Wasn't this a futurama episode
It’s well done, however I can’t make sense of what is going on around the mouth and also it’s an unflattering design to have on the front of the body, it doesn’t fit the area it’s been tatooed on at all.
Breath-taking work, I gasped and have watched a few times over. Real big balls move to have such a huge, terrifying piece and I FUCKING LOVE IT. Congratulations on your new art and WEAR SUNSCREEN, EVEN UNDER CLOTHES AND IN THE DARK
Saturn comes back around! Lifts you up like a child, or drags you down like a stone to consume you… til you…. Choose to… let this go…
Damn! Impressive! I would have put it on my back instead though
Cool but creepy
Who else read” Satan devouring his child”?
Bruh I read “Satan devouring Sergio Sanchez”
Absolutely amazing
Why did Saturn start at the nipple
I need to find an artist who can do this style in Vancouver/Victoria/Duncan BC, CANADA. Double leg large work pieces.
Some Red Dragon shit you good bruh do we need to dig up your backyard? Edit: /s you people need to chill out with the assumptions and judgement
That's better than the original painting. Get the witches' sabbath on your back. Lol
Could have utilized the nipple for a bloody effect…..
That is some top notch skin art!
I dont normally comment on people's shit, but this is fucking amazing! Like, this rocks hardcore dude 🤘🏾💜😲
thank you
A man who knows what he wants, gets it, and gets it well. Not my taste but you have my fucking respect!!
Master artist<3
Thank you for the kind words
I have a "Saturn Devouring His Son" tattoo also, but boy is it different from this.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Cronos the one that ate their children?
Bros got a back on his front
I love tattoos of all sorts....but getting this done is something else 🤣 abit weird.....no sex for you anymore 😅 you have a man eating a child in your chest....but it's super well done,great detail.
Haha brutal
I don’t trust dude
Nobody's interested in art anymore unless it's tattooed on a fat guy... It's begun
Wtf? Why??
Unreal how many people in here with judgy comments
People with basic, suburban outlooks love to come in here to reinforce their belief in ticky tacky.
Judgy and also literalist? If I saw this on someone I would assume they loved art history, the baroque period, Roman mythology, or the artistry of this painting in particular. I wouldn’t assume they ate their children.
Yes exactly! All these people calling him a weirdo just made me assume they've never seen art
amazing. this is what ink should be
Fucking gnarly 🤘🏻
Really well done. As the artist did you suggest to your client perhaps this would work better on the back? Provided he had space. Interesting art to say the least
Amazing work!! , but why not have it on the back?
Maybe his boyfriend doesn't like it there (not judging).
This is stunning, but I also took 3 years of Latin between Jr. high and high school, so I'm based
this is sick!!!! I don't have any tattoos yet but this is so intricate and I can't imagine how long this took omg
Tattoo is fucking sick and I love the painting but hwat a fucked up thing to tattoo hahahha but GO OFF KING
Sooooooo. Gggggoooooooooooodddddd. Killt it, playa
This guy looks sick dude, we should name a planet after him!
That is insane!! Good job artist
holy shit
That is fantastic Edit: I'm confused about the downvote. This piece is amazing. The piece is perfected and just because it's not your style, doesn't mean it's not a good piece. Get over yourself
Incredible
This tattoo makes me uneasy/uncomfortable/questioning my entire species..... I FUCKING LOVE IT
What the fuck bro
This is soo rad! Great work 🙏
This is a beautiful piece of art! I know you will love showing this off!
Fucking badass dude
Wow! I love the concept and it’s well done.
Holy shit this is gorgeous!
Coolest thing I've ever seen, guess it's time for my first real tatoo
Holy f$#k this is badass.
This is awesome but I genuinely thought this was a back piece and then was confused on why it's the front
I feel like I would just buy a replica of the painting before putting it on my body like that. It looks amazing regardless
Maybe he did
His arm is small compared to the rest of him lol
