Colored Up Cutthroat Trout - Fresh From Stephanie Johnson(@burningjackaltattoo) in Ogden UT
This was my first real tattoo (I've got one other small one on my arm). Prompt was a cutthroat trout with it's spawning colors. I wanted it big and bold, very heavy on the red like a Colorado Cutty. I'm super psyched with how it tuned out. I think she knocked it out of the park. There will probably be some touchups when we start my next piece, but I couldn't wait to post. Stephanie was awesome to work with. The plan is to add more nature/wildlife pieces to both legs. I've been turned off with other artists after consultations about a first tattoo. Stephanie made the process super comfortable and pressure free the whole way through. I definitely recommend her. In the new year she'll be working out of Gilded Lotus in Ogden.

Recommendations or tips to improve photos
Kasper’s second tattoo is a collaborative effort that took 8 hours during the first session in January. We’re planning to do the second one soon. What do you think? Do you have any recommendations? I’m struggling with the photos because they don’t come out so sharp or I can’t get the result I’m looking for. Artist project.oxo Nyc Www.projectoxo.com.

Crystal Christy/Vincennes/United States, at Mystic Metals
Here’s my tattoos so far! I got my lemon shark first and then in the same day I got my bat as a tribute to Halloween and Ozzy Osborne and my stingray. Eventually I would like to have a full leg sleeve of marine animals since I’m currently in college to be a marine biologist! I have many more ideas for tattoos I want 🤭.

Handpoked using 7rl/5rl in Manchester UK by ig:howellshandpokes
My favourite style with a twist! When my client asked for this in only red in I was a little nervous about the outcome one as I’ve never tried this style in colour before but I absolutely adore the outcome! If you’re interested in getting a handpoke tattoo like this or any other tattoo I’ve done send me over a dm! I’m based in Manchester UK but I’m travelling all over next year! Links in bio! 💕.

Tony Johnson - Ophira Tattoo Gallery - HSV, AL
First tattoo for me; super happy with how it turned out! Maybe some people will catch the references? About 26 hours of needle to skin across four sessions. If you're local the area Tony is a stand up fucking guy, go get some work done by him! Originally posted by Unveincs on r/tattoos on December 19th, 2025.

Advice Needed: Will this design age badly?
Hello! I’m looking to get a linocut / woodcut style bird tattoo similar to this design. I’m concerned that the ink will spread (especially if I go this dark) and the tattoo would just become a big black blob over time. My previous first tattoo is still fresh so I would appreciate some advice from tattoo artists and those more experienced with tattoos on whether a design like this would age badly. If you have any workaround suggestions, that would be great too! Thanks in advance. Originally posted by Sleepinessleepy on r/tattoos on December 19th, 2025.

Just finished this forearm piece and yeah… this one hit hard.
Archangel in motion, wings wide, strength and surrender at the same time. We kept it black and grey, clean contrast, soft depth so it flows with the arm instead of fighting it. The client had a clear idea and trusted us with the rest. Those are the best sessions. Originally posted by Theblackpoisontattoo on r/tattoos on December 19th, 2025.
