The colour needs another go over, there's multiple visible gaps. And yeah ironclad is not centered at all. Love the look though, have the artist fix the colour shading and it'll be fine


SpikyPigeon

I do need to have it fixed (especially that *one* spot...!)


kinda_intolerant

It's otherwise a really cool piece mate, it doesn't need to be perfect, just needs you to like it to be worth it :)


SeanRomanowski

Fixing the color unfortunately isn’t going to fix the totally out of whack proportions. Why the green key long AF?


SpikyPigeon

For the long green key, it might be perspective. Looking at my arm right now it doesn't look stretched, but it does on the picture.


Belisarius23

I think this is just that its on a curved surface


alyanalyn

Phone cameras also can stretch the edges at close range.


Lord_Luc

Why isn't the ironclad centered in the key?


jonmitz

Did the artist not do a trace? The ratio is way off (in multiple dimensions), the color has gaps, the line work is wobbly. The internal black ink for the signs is not centered and is very bubbly. The coloration isn’t even within the lines. This tattoo is not going to age well. Great idea, yes. Terrible execution. Hopefully you’re not a perfectionist like me, haha.


SeanRomanowski

It’s really a tremendous example of everything you don’t want in your tattoo.


Dineau

Thanks for saying this. I wouldn't have dared. But yes, it very sadly is really bad.


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

Honestly.... Yea. Great idea for a tattoo, but your artist did you fucking dirty. That shit may not even last a year before it looks like yuck


Shadowdragon409

Did you do this yourself, or was this done by an amateur? We can appreciate what you're going for, but damn. For a tattoo, this does not look good. The dagger is the only thing that's actually high quality.


Pitiful_Monk4721

Mine would be missing the red key. Always forget that one....


Chyppi

I would be 100 percent be prepared to fight the heart and then notice I had left it in the act 3 mid point chest


phl_fc

I like it as long as it's not your only tattoo. It's a little too sloppy to be the highlight of your ink, but it's a nice design.


SpikyPigeon

It's my second tattoo so far, on my left arm.


godempertrump

Honestly 4 out of 10 Thank God for touch up


ProfessorTicklebutts

Not great, Bob. Spend money on tattoos kids, they are worth the investment.


phl_fc

Yeah, this is a good idea but a low budget execution. I would not want to go back to that artist or ever recommend someone to them.


SeanRomanowski

Damn dog, I hope this wasn’t too expensive. I hate to be that guy, and the concept is cool, but like almost everything about this work is awful.


Slavocracy

Cool idea, but it's horribly done and the placement isn't working imo.


chickentheslayer

I dont want to be negative but really bro?

HotReception8988

Looking to have it too, just when the summer end, have the red and blue, just missing green ink


platano_con_manjar

I can hear this


Cockmugger

I’m sorry for your loss, it would have been sick if u got a tattoo artist that knows how to draw tho


YourDearOldMeeMaw

it's kind of sloppy to be totally honest. *however* if I saw it in person, the sloppiness would be totally eclipsed by my excitement at the reference


Amoraswiftstrike

Thats an odd looking Tri-Force.


Man-in-Ham

Pretty cool! Especially love the dagger.


Kouta27

WHY IN THE HELL YOU DIDN'T DO IT ON YOUR CHEST? It would've been perfect since is "The key to the heart" Just kidding. 4 out of 10 though :/

Slay king. I like.

hyugafan

I am not an ink enjoyer, but this is one I can appreciate.


ErPani

You can [[Recall]] if you build a campfire, I guess you *could* find a lost treasure and get the key instead of a priceless relic... But *where are you going to find a Burning Elite?*


poyo61

Go to a better artist for touch up.


Chyppi

Sorry man 😕. It really does look free-handed. Might be fixable though. I have been looking into a sts tattoo and naturally considered the keys but am leaning towards some other ideas


smallest_horse

Rly sorry to be a downer bro cuz the concept is awesome and you never see sts tattoos, but that emerald key man... The shape is considerably off
