Cataclysm Time Is Money, Friend!
Ever since Cata came out many many moons ago, a young me immediately fell in love with the Goblin race. I absolutely love their little mischievous personalities. Anyways since then, Goblins have been my favorite race in just about anything. Always my main in DnD too. I finally got a traditional style WoW goblin on my shoulder. He's a little bloody and swollen, but I love him!!

Love that you went traddy. It's gonna heal great.
I've got ~80ish tattoos and at this point I cringe when I see someone with a $10k hyper realistic piece with no borders that'll just be soup in 5 years.
Yours though? That will stay nice and pretty for ages.

u/TheRancidKid Aug 20 '24
Thanks so much man. Id be lying if I said some of those crazy expensive/super realistic pieces don't make me jealous! But in all honesty, you are absolutely right. As those layers and dead cells shed, it's going to become an amalgamation of colors and unidentifiable shapes.
But simple trad tattoos can hang on for a really long time, with a touchup here and there.
Plus, with my style (and budget!) trad just seems to be the way to go :)
I hope to accumulate 80+ like you one day! One step at a time.

Meh I have traditional 5 thru 9 liners that are big pieces. It really depends on what looks good after 10 years. The whole realism and fine line going bad has been debunked 10 times over. Another thing is it’s really common to have light raising on thick liners no matter how well it’s applied. Even ink spreading over the years. There’s always some pros and cons in tattoo styles.
If you're pointing and cringing at peoples tattoos in general, you are a complete dork. You even have fine line realism tattoos on you posted in your profile and your WoT tattoo is overworked skin. I don't see how you possibly have ~80 tattoos if you have that much open space in the pictures you posted.

Getting a green skin tattooed on you is awful. Now YOUR skin is green

You should wear sunscreen on your shoulders bro

u/LeatherClassroom524 Aug 21 '24
It’s the only place I usually bother to put sunscreen. The angle to the sun is fierce. I don’t want cancer.

u/shockingnews213 Aug 22 '24
It's a lesser known thing, but sunscreen thin applications don't work well especially in areas of high exposure. It'll look silly, but really slather that shit on there. If it look gunky and it's like a mound then that's actually a good amount. I know it's expensive to do it that way, but that is the most effective way to apply sunscreen.

I have a similar tat idea which I may now need to take the plunge on:
Sexy female goblin in swimwear posing on the bonnet of red rocket 90s playboy type shit.
With 'Pleasure doing business with ya!' Underneath

Best use some of that money and see a dermatologist pal, or you may not have too much time left

Ohh, I'm a professional wrestler. I commonly wrestle what's known as "death matches". They are just raised scars/keloids. All good!

Don’t you need to visit a dermatologist?

u/TheRancidKid Aug 22 '24
Why's that?

Someone just posted the same eagle as their first tattoo in another sub today

u/TheRancidKid Aug 20 '24
That timing though. To be fair, American Traditional eagles are extremely common. Many of them look almost identical lol.

Ty ty, it was my friends first paid tattoo in a shop he was an apprentice at so definitely parts of it coulda been better. Yours is sick too! I really like the banner and the layout. Gives me a little American traditional vibes.

If you look for hatred everywhere, even where none is intended, you'll start to create the hatred just to prove yourself right. That hatred will fill you and corrupt you.
Be kind, and don't hyper focus on problems that don't exist.
It's weird.

I think it's really cool! I'm not a native English speaker but shouldn't there be a comma after "money"? If so that's a super easy fix.
