Hi
Just joined the forum. I had a couple of tattoos done many moons ago.
I am now getting on and decided to have a couple of more done.
This is the first of the new ones. It looks better on the skin than the photo.

What do you think?

No one got an opinion?
I don’t think the large photo does it justice so I have put a slightly smaller one here

ok,I’ll bite,I don’t really like the design at all,

and it’s hard to see what it is at first glance,I had to study it to see what it is,

IMO a tattoo should be instantly recognizable,

and I have no idea what the letters say.

again,sorry but I really don’t like the tattoo.

but if you like it ,that’s all that matters.

The letters are INRI look it up. I didn’t ask for a bite I just wanted a honest opinion (it wasn’t a challenge so really no need for the bold letters) and thank you for yours.
I may disagree but at least I got a response.

I just like these friendly forums.

What bit of “I just wanted a honest opinion and thank you for yours” doesn’t qualify as accepting your point of view? Ignore the brackets for the full sentence!!!!
I will print off your form and post it filled in LOL

I don’t see INRI. I see INRY. There’s a design flaw.

Also the proportion seems wrong on the stake. It is huge compared to the rest of the tattoo. (Big stake bad, big steak good! Sorry, its nearly dinner time.)

So … I don’t really like it.
But you like it, right. And your friends, too?

Sorry I also am not a fan. It is flat and poorly done. I also read it as INRY

I couldn’t find a picture other than yours of that already done but here is a well done dead Jesus tattoo

Hi
Still here I haven’t gone off to sulk:) I visited the artist today to book another tattoo which I will post on here (Then go and hide behind the settee !)
Whilst I personally like the tattoo I must confess I was a tad disappointed with the definition of the cross. He has said he will touch it up when I next visit so hopefully it will look somewhat better.
Myself I think the INRI looks OK and them that know what it is supposed to be I feel will see that. Them that don’t well who cares.

Until the next time tatty bye.

Please don’t go back to this tattooist!!!! Let us help you find a quality tattooist for you. A great tattoo really doesn’t cost any more then a tat. Where you located? Don’t think you have some special relationship with this guy tat is putting out ho hum work.

Welcome to the forum!

I don’t care for it either. It does look like “INRY”, perhaps it’s just the angle?

Was it done by a professional tattooer?
