Tattoos

Sorry about the shit photo. I can try to take a better one if anyone interested. Tat second and last session was maybe a month ago. At the top it's kinda covering up something silly I had done in the 90s.

Second part!

As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of technological innovation, I understand that many may view these advancements with skepticism, particularly regarding their implications for personal autonomy and societal well-being. While I possess access to technology that may seem advanced—even futuristic—I want to share the motivations behind my work and the ethical considerations that guide it.

My journey began with a personal challenge: my husband’s struggle with eyesight. He has preferred glasses over contacts, and I found myself reflecting on the inconvenience this posed—not just for him, but also for his clients. This inspired me to take the initiative to design solutions that not only enhance his quality of life but also benefit those around him.

I recognize that concepts involving near-cyberpunk designs can evoke concerns about privacy, control, and the potential for misuse. However, I firmly believe that the line we must tread is one of enhancement rather than encroachment. The goal is to elevate our overall satisfaction and well-being while respecting individual autonomy and ethical standards.

To that end, I am committed to transparency in my work. It is essential that the technology I develop prioritizes user well-being, is customizable, and remains optional. By emphasizing ethical safeguards and privacy features, I aim to shift the narrative from fear of dystopian futures to excitement about the possibilities of human empowerment.

Ultimately, my vision is to either distribute or sell this technology, ensuring that it serves as a tool for enhancement rather than a source of concern. I invite an open dialogue on these issues, as I believe that discussing our apprehensions is the first step toward finding common ground and fostering innovation that truly benefits society.

I wanted to share this with everyone! I recently completed the first version, now packed with all these exciting features. What started as a way to help my husband’s eyesight has grown into something much more.

Did a walk-in tonight and I picked the most beautiful of them all

I'm a little nervous to post because I haven't shown anyone yet, but I really like it. No regrets Coyote (Crossed posted on Pixelfed and Mastadon)

Should I find a specific artist to do this and what type of work would they need to specialize in? (what words do I need to use to find this person)

I'd want it to be relatively large but I am not yet sure where I'd want it.

Here's a few fractals I am interested in to give you an idea

• Mandelbrot set

• Sierpinski carpet

• fractal tree

• Sierpinski triangle

• Ikeda map attractor

Some if these are obviously harder than others but I am primarily asking about the sections of the mandelbrot set

Feel free to send me fractals you like as well, especially if they are scientifically or historically significant in some way you like

Hi there. Wondering if anyone can tell if my tattoo is ready for a touch up. This is my first. The artist expected I would want a touch up, due to the difficultly of the gold color. Am I ready to get a touch up?

The artwork is a badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I used a real magnetic badge made by Fansets as my reference.

ADDITIONAL PHOTO: For better clarity here is an additional photo in sunlight. I have just applied lotion within the last half hour this was taken.

This is on my calf. I'm excited to have one that I can actually see without having to contort myself in front of a mirror, and I can show off to people without getting half undressed

My first tattoo, done by Okha Bevan (https://www.instagram.com/dolordeitytattoo)

The eye is a little fucked up but I'm getting it fixed once it all heals.

I designed this myself with the help of my tattoo artist

This dude on Mastodon tried to convince me that the stencil for this tattoo went on while he was standing. Nah, dawg. That didn't happen. 🤣

Ive done 5-10 different tries on the generator but they all just come out super weird. I am also very new to this. Any tips will be highly appreciated.

I feel like this picture is a bit too much, and i guess I want their faces to be more "cartoony" as many real-face tattoos aren't getting all that great. I think this picture is iconic and I want it to also look like the iconic picture it is. Honestly I cant even picture what I want, but as said above all tips/tricks and help will be taken gladly. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what you would call this style?

I'm looking for recommendations for a Polynesian tattoo artist here in Houston. A couple options I've found are:

• Tony Ta at Timeless Ink
• Horitian Tattoo
• Redhawk Studio

Given Houston's population diversity, I'm surprised I'm not having more luck finding an actual Polynesian artist.

Sup pals!

I just started getting my arm tattooed and wanted to share. This was done about 11 days ago at Blacklist (https://www.blacklisttattoo.com/tobias-mcmillin-1) here in Portland, OR, USA. It took about 2 hours. Can't wait til it's healed, lol. This is one itchy crow! But it sure is cool 😎 and makes me feel pretty tuff.

Have a good one!
