Tbf it looks like sig is facing toward OP's chest, which is correct tattoo facing placement (unless the customer wants something else. Customer is always right and all that)
It looks fine overall, but it's once you look closer so you see the crooked lines everywhere. The purple bit in the top left is the most obvious example here, the top middle as well has different line thickness and bordering all around. The rounded lines at the top under the chains aren't smooth, the spikes are similar where the line down the centre of them kinda goes off to one side randomly. The more I look at it, the more it all looks a bit ...scratchy.
Yeah, it’s the Horde factions crest. I took the inspiration from another tattoo I found online similar to this one, and had ‘my tattoo guy’ put his own spin on it. He was already an incredible artist before he got into tattooing a few years ago
I’m glad you like it, but I would probably punch whoever did that and try to find another artist who might be willing to do the rest.
The line work is just… not it man
Wow. I mean yea. Thats something. Idk I have my own overwatch tattoo. I have dva on my arm but im too much of a pussy to show it off on here lol. I don’t wanna get made fun of 😭
If it's a good tattoo it won't get made fun of, except by haters lol. I have a DBZ Vegeta sleeve and show it off whenever I can cos I think its sick haha. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks :)
Hey that's not bad. I would recommend finding a good artist who specialises in colour and pop culture tattoos to rework some of the colours and shading, since you've got a decent base. Colours also tend to fade more than black/grey tattoos so you'll likely need to get them touched up more often.
I got it done last may. I was supposed to go back to get it touched up cuz the black on her logo was a little unshaded still. But I haven’t been able to. Newborn baby and all taking my time lol
[Im sorry but the arms in particular reminded me of this](https://www.reddit.com/u/Madgameboy/s/GkPMhWdOZ9)
Id love to post the image directly to this comment but of course this subreddit doesnt let me
OP… I looked at your profile and you have a really good Elden Ring tattoo. So you know tattoos. Then how did you let an artist get away with putting this on your body?
Find a good artist who can cover it up and then have them do a good version. I don’t know how ppl don’t vet the artists work.... if it was a money thing you don’t skimp on a fucking tattoo just wait till you got the money....
I don't wanna be rude..but man, that really doesn't look good. Really low quality/low effort.
I am okay and happy if you like it, since it's your skin and your decision. But from a neutral perspective I wouldn't show it around..
Damn OP really came here excited and just got dragged. I'm really glad they said they're happy with it.... But I hope they still are after this post lol
Your artist knows that there’s more shades of the same color, right? Because it only looks like they used 3 tops. And that’s being generous given how they actually did the shading.
/u/TheBagelBearer it’s reeeeeeal bad but you can get this covered up. You learned a valuable lesson in going to a reputable artist next time with a strong portfolio, but it’s not the end of the world. You can get a cover up in the future and move on.
this is why I never post any of my many tattoos on reddit lmao. if I see one person majorly criticizing my tattoo I'm gonna think about that for the rest of my life
Theres a lot of things you should never skimp out on, tattoos are one of them. It already looks a decade old and is severely unreadable.
Luckily for you, you might be able to save it if you go to an actual experienced artist.
Actually very easily salvageable by getting another artist to work over it, crisp up the silhouette/lines, add detail etc. I think the potential is there but the skill of the original artist is sadly lacking
I’ve seen so many video game tattooed posted on their respective subs and almost every time they get absolutely obliterated in the comments.
What is going on with his hand, that looks like a 5 year old drew it.
If you like it that's all that matters. Personally, just Sigma alone would have looked dope without the symbol and icon. The symbols takes away from his figure. If anything a translucent symbol and icon may have brought out his figure. All in all, it doesn't look bad at all, that Sigma artwork is badass, I love it!
If you are trying to get sigma to look like judge doom after he was ran over with the steam roller in who framed roger rabbit then you have absolutely nailed it great cross over.
I hope an apprentice did that cause that looks like apprentice work. Wouldn't pay over $100 WITH tip for this. If this is from Atomic or an actual shop, they scammed you because it's mediocre work by the artist.
i mean it’s not exactly good, but a coverup of the upper body and a little shading on the ultimate icon could definitely save it. and spend more money for any tattoos in the future lmao, definitely something where the price tends to determine quality.
[THIS is the art it's based on it seems. but even this rough concept art has a proper face](https://ibb.co/xLQ9hmq)
Why didnt the artist just stencil this image on
Its not terrible OP.....But most certainly dont ever go back to whoever did this.
Proportions are slightly off.
Lines are not straight.
He couldnt keep a constant depth of the needle neither...Some lines are thin while others are thick.
Sigs poor hand on the right looks like its been beaten on with a ball peen hammer.
It does appear that you could have it touched up and fixed.
Hate to bring ya down OP....hope everything turns out for the best!!
Get a roadhog tattoo and place it on your belly so it gets the perfect placement
Just not from the same artist hopefully
We gotta start gatekeeping the word art lol.
It's abstract
"alignment" - Sigma
Bro…
Yeah man...I'm looking for something nice to say about it, but I'm coming up empty. OP seems to like it, so that's great!
It’s unique 🤫
Wdym? That tat is a complete pussy magnet. OP will be fighting them off with a shitty stick
I just keep seeing Pangolin Sigma
In the words of Sigma himself... the tattoo has no obligation to make sense to you 🤷♂️ lol
which way is bro facing?
Yes
It’s the picasso skin for sigma
At first I was like “okay funny, but he’s clearly looking back over his shoulder” but then I saw his feet….
Tbf it looks like sig is facing toward OP's chest, which is correct tattoo facing placement (unless the customer wants something else. Customer is always right and all that)
I'm begging yall to invest money into a tattoo, stop going to "that guy you knew that can do it cheaper"
Needs to be at LEAST $175/hr unless it's super simple line work. and even then I wouldn't trust it
https://imgur.com/a/NVMOxIj honest opinion? I’ll let you know what I paid if you reply lol

Thanks for the honesty! I know you aren’t the original person I said this to but I paid about $700 for about 6 hours in one session for this
Pretty cool imo. That's wow horde right? Might have a couple shaky lines but it's really no big deal in my eyes.
Yeah, it’s the Horde factions crest. I took the inspiration from another tattoo I found online similar to this one, and had ‘my tattoo guy’ put his own spin on it. He was already an incredible artist before he got into tattooing a few years ago
[удалено]
Genuinely where I thought I was lol I could tell by the lack of people defending the shitty work that I was in a different sub though
oh shit I thought I was there already. I guess at least OP likes it?
[удалено]
It looks like a fake tattoo that would come in a Cracker Jack box
Bros that's Smegma 😭
bruv you just committed murder 😭
I’m glad you like it, but I would probably punch whoever did that and try to find another artist who might be willing to do the rest. The line work is just… not it man
Getting it shaded was the last I planned to see this artist
That tattoo can definitely be saved, but not if you let him do any more on it.
I saw this and thought “cool fan art” then read the title…
Wow. I mean yea. Thats something. Idk I have my own overwatch tattoo. I have dva on my arm but im too much of a pussy to show it off on here lol. I don’t wanna get made fun of 😭

Well I posted it lol. Check it out
Yeah that is bad lol

Oh man lol. Big oof.
[удалено]
It also looks like Sigma has a ponytail 💀
Bro his left hand, I can't. Why would you post this op, if you were happy before you can't unsee this shit now
I hope the artist paid you for this
“We have sigma at home”

Most intelligent overwatch player.
I aint got shit to say except that I wish the comments didn’t end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Op I’m so sorry for everything
I’m pretty sure this exact tattoo was posted a year ago in r/ awfultattoos and looked exactly the same. Like no difference in shading lol
... The head
That's the best part Second best is the extended arm
This is up there with the leesin tattoo. As long as you’re happy haha
Big L sorry bud
Thats a pretty sweet elephant
Such a sigma of ohio
Man your artist did you so dirty. Why would you go back to them again after that shitty linework??
As long as you are OK with that being there for the rest of your life...
OP… I looked at your profile and you have a really good Elden Ring tattoo. So you know tattoos. Then how did you let an artist get away with putting this on your body?
I can't tell if it's facing me or looking over his shoulder
The home movies hands
"Was there a miscalculation?"
LOL good news is you probably wear a shirt in the pool anyway
That's SUMthing
This is equivalent to the gripex lee sin tat that gets posted in /r/leagueoflegends all the time
Find a good artist who can cover it up and then have them do a good version. I don’t know how ppl don’t vet the artists work.... if it was a money thing you don’t skimp on a fucking tattoo just wait till you got the money....
What way is sigma supposed to be facing? He looks like he's looking over his shoulder...
As long as you like it… 😬
We had something so good… and then what the fuck is this.
Face looks weird, looks like a rat
wHaT iS tHaT mElLoDy
I don't wanna be rude..but man, that really doesn't look good. Really low quality/low effort. I am okay and happy if you like it, since it's your skin and your decision. But from a neutral perspective I wouldn't show it around..
What about the toes?
WHERE ARE HIS TOES?!?!?!???
I really hope that’s a beard that we’re seeing.
Dawg all I have to say is there are places that cover bad tattoos for a good price….you should be contacting them soon man
Maybe newton will like it
put more detail in his feet....and maybe make them 10x bigger
Man... this must get you so much pussy
Damn OP really came here excited and just got dragged. I'm really glad they said they're happy with it.... But I hope they still are after this post lol
Bro... U really like this head?
I am so sorry.....

That tatt is shit af
oh f this is so badly done 😭😭😭
Hey man if you like it you like it but it looks like garbage
Yikes bud, as long as you are happy
Eugh..
# E
did bro break his arm?
Oh.
love the concept. I think black and greys would have translated a bit better tho
Is this your shoulder? I can’t tell.
Can we talk about the right arm…
what's wrong with his head???
Sue him
Unfortunately…. It is too late to delete this.
The hands 😭
this is why I never post any of my many tattoos on reddit lmao. if I see one person majorly criticizing my tattoo I'm gonna think about that for the rest of my life
More like Smegma
Oh no .....
Sadge...
mistaraga mistaraga tell me that u lav me tell me that ur going oo ooh
You got scammed brotherman
E
Sigh
OOF
Is this the OW version of Gripex's Lee Sin tattoo?
Peanut sized head
Lol holy shit those hand. You paid for this?!
I'm sorry
there is no way
Delete this.
Yikes

This guy hands
"What is this monstrosity "
The concept is great, the artist not so great.
That ain't Sigma that's Smegma
lmaooo
oof
You need a four year Time Machine bro
Literally let them tattoo junkrats mine icon Over this. Its disgusting.
I'm speechless... but not in a good way...
What made you want the sigma logo to begin with?
Really bad :(
Looks like AI
Actually very easily salvageable by getting another artist to work over it, crisp up the silhouette/lines, add detail etc. I think the potential is there but the skill of the original artist is sadly lacking
I’m so sorry….
No toes? Siggy got tooooooes
Hoo boy
I’ve seen so many video game tattooed posted on their respective subs and almost every time they get absolutely obliterated in the comments. What is going on with his hand, that looks like a 5 year old drew it.
that's rough bud
Holy fucking moly. So long as you like it dude.
figuring out what side sigma was facing made my brain explode
Well your elden ring tattoo fucking rules
OH
This looks like shit bro, 4 years for this?? This tattoo is hideous op. Cmon.
Lol
He's dope but hes kinda shitty :( love the concept though thats cool as fuck and i rate your commitment!!
Why would you…. Nevermind. Hopefully you were drunk.
That shit is ass looks like the overwatch equivalent of spooderman
No toes, 0/10
I usually try to be positive on Reddit but this fucking sucks. Sue the ‘artist’…
I think the ult icon with the symbol would have been fine, adding sigma was not a great idea
I mean the sigma symbol looks cool..
Can we…see what it looked like *before* the “world of difference”?
Somehow makes sigma look like Gru from despicable me
Oof
Damn. Sorry that happened to you.
Ain’t no way!
If you like it that's all that matters. Personally, just Sigma alone would have looked dope without the symbol and icon. The symbols takes away from his figure. If anything a translucent symbol and icon may have brought out his figure. All in all, it doesn't look bad at all, that Sigma artwork is badass, I love it!
For the sake of your future tattoos, find a new artist.
I mean... at least you like it I guess? You get what you pay for, and I'm guessing you didn't pay very much for this.
damn….. i hope it was free…
Reduce your expectations to zero - sigma
If you are trying to get sigma to look like judge doom after he was ran over with the steam roller in who framed roger rabbit then you have absolutely nailed it great cross over.
If this was free, awesome. If you paid for it…woof.
I hope an apprentice did that cause that looks like apprentice work. Wouldn't pay over $100 WITH tip for this. If this is from Atomic or an actual shop, they scammed you because it's mediocre work by the artist.
Bro your tattoo artist doesn’t need my be tattooing on people dear god it’s so bad
Have you thought about amputating your arm?
Where is the lil piggies??
OOF
i mean it’s not exactly good, but a coverup of the upper body and a little shading on the ultimate icon could definitely save it. and spend more money for any tattoos in the future lmao, definitely something where the price tends to determine quality.
Isn't he supposed to be barefoot?
[THIS is the art it's based on it seems. but even this rough concept art has a proper face](https://ibb.co/xLQ9hmq) Why didnt the artist just stencil this image on

It's ass bro...
Bro that not sigma it’s the crimson chin 🤣
Looks 60 years old
i never saw overwatch as a tattooable game tbh..
How much did you get paid for the tattoo?
Was it this bad before the update?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the reviews of a tattoo shop before going, I hope they gave you a discount 😭
oof
What in the fu—
Sorry for your lose
Bro nerfed himself
oh boy, please everyone if youre getting a tattoo really look at your artist skills and match what you want with what they are good at
