New and ready for some input on my current ink!

[Csmor510]

I'm courtney, basically I'm here to see everyone else's style of tattoos and all the respected art around the world. I attached a picture of my tattoo, it's two roses on my foot. I'm looking for honest opinions on what I should have done with it. Color, shading etc? I feel like I'm ready to get it moving and make it more eye catching. Let me know what you think and be honest!!!

[DJDeepFried]

Not a tattoo artist but yes I think it would look better with color and shading. Was this not suggested to you by your tattooer?

[Csmor510]

I actually went in and had it done somewhat randomly. I was the one who suggested just doing the outline and then coming back once I had thought longer and harder about color and shading. Problem is I don't know where to go really from here. Hallowed Grounds in Scarborough maine did it they're great artists. I'm very aware of the fact of this being permanent so I like to take it a step at a time you know what I mean? :-)

Someone else around here stopped at the outline to let it marinate for a while.

Color makes everything better!

[cltattooing]

I vote yellow, brown, and lots of black

I vote take her advice ^

Cant go wrong listening to someone who makes tattoos like hers!

So here's what I'm thinking, I don't think those colors really suit my personality I want something really vibrant and unrealistic I should have mentioned that. I'm thinking something along this color scheme.

Thank you I agree! I had to wait and be patient now the urge is striking so time to get on it while I have extra money to play with

Blue and purple are great options but bold traditional would look much better (and most likely age significantly better) than that realistic/watercolor/doodoo example you posted.

What do you mean by traditional?! Hmm

[CultExciter]

It needs more leaves.

If I've learned anything from this site, it's that black is your best friend.

You have pretty feet..And I do agree with @CultExciter it needs some leaves to balance it out.but I do think the rose is oddly shaped.I would probably go to another shop like this one...

TSUNAMI TATTOO - PORTLAND, MAINE

[DJDeepFried]

My vote: more leaves, black, red, green, and more black.
