Its been a while. Just got this about a week ago.

I think if done well, symmetry can look great. At times though runs the risk of looking too perfect or planned out, which isn't necessarily my favorite. Rich Hardy posted a black and grey front on Instagram recently that I think does this very well. I have some spots where similar ideas and similar sized pieces play with one across the body, but aren't exactly symmetrical. For example, a very straightforward tudor rose on one knee, then a weird rose morph on the other. And a darker death's head moth on one thigh and a butterfly on the other. Ultimately, your call to go with what you think looks best!

Did you use an app or something? It's the weirdest-looking post I've seen. I have tons of American traditional. None of my art is symmetrical. Do whatever you like.

It looks like you are drowning that tattoo in lotion. You only need a small amount. Too much is worse than too little.

No. You might reduce the chance by picking a good artist and avoiding tattoos on thin, delicate skin, but if you get enough tattoos, eventually you’ll have a blowout.

Two weeks away from finally finishing my sleeve with Garver. Yeah!
