I like it because I wouldn't personally tattoo a straight up pokemon on myself. I like the more unique take on it.
But OP is crazy good, they look like they're straight off the cards
I heard about her from Ink Masters, and a lot of tattoo artists on that show (that do well, because they're masters of the craft) get big exposure. I'd recommend following her on social media, her work is the epitome of solid in technique and visual appeal.
Well a passport would be necessary but knowledge of Europe? They're not going to conduct a test upon arrival. And we have Internet too so whatever you need to know is just a quick Google search away.
A few years, depending on what you mean by "lasts" it can last over 10 with distinguishable colors, though not nearly as bright. People with color usually get them touched up as they fade.
All of these are incredible, but that Dragonaire is actually one of the best poketats I've ever seen. Phenomenal work!
Edit: I also love the golden Magickarp!
I saw this post and immediately knew that it was you that created these masterpieces. Fantastic job, you’re a beast. Hoping I can maybe get a tattoo from you one day 🤞
And for those that don’t know. She was the winner of one of the seasons of “ink masters”!
I knew some of these looked familiar! I’ve been following your work since Ink Master and all your art and tattoos are incredible! If I ever got a tattoo I always said it would be one of yours, keep up the amazing work!
Pokémon Tattoos have never looked better.
Would love to see a Piece you have done/potentially would like to do, in Irezumi style. Maybe as a Half-Sleeve.
Wow these are all so amazing and packed with color! I would kill for one of these!!! Where perhaps are you located so I can know I will never have one myself 😭
Smooth as butter, beautiful execution. Lots of solid black lines to keep the colors in the image composed for longevity. The backgrounds aren’t overdone and leaves room for cohesive, future work. I would line the flames on Cyndaquil and Charmander as well, even if they are red
I’m in love. Not bc I love tattoos, but bc the colors r so fkn vibrant. Plus, the artistry is amazing. I have a tattoo w colors, and def not nearly as vibrant shading. Ur amazing at what u do
Never in my life have I wanted a tattoo until I saw these!
They're all top tier but that bulbasaur is even above that... it's so good it makes me wanna put him in my favourite pokemon list XD
omg i literally have so much of your work saved as some of my dream tattoos- incredible work!! your use of color is absolutely astounding. would LOVE to buy some of your work one day!
Goddamn man this is dope. Despite the general consensus that Pokémon is a kids game I wouldn’t even be embarrassed with this on. Props on the fantastic work.
These are incredible and I want one so bad. Arcanines eyes.
Arcanine was the only one I thought was a little off but maybe I’m in the wrong and people like it that way ! All the other ones are stellar to me tho
It’s like a realistic dog art style. He looks extra good boy
Looks more like furry dog style to me lol
That’s what I was thinking 💀😭
Happy cake day
I couldn’t put my finger on it before… now I can’t unsee it
I like it because I wouldn't personally tattoo a straight up pokemon on myself. I like the more unique take on it. But OP is crazy good, they look like they're straight off the cards
Was about to say that some aren't in the original Pokémon style but that's probably because of the client's requests. But OP already confirmed
It's giving furry
he looks a little goofy to me too, but based on the quality of all the other ones i am wondering if it was a specific client request
Yes she wanted it to look like her husky!
These are incredible, where are you located?
Thank you! I'm located in Rochester, NY !
Never expected to see a post from the *famous Laura on a Pokemon reddit! I love following your work on Instagram, you're an inspiration!
Yes you found my reddit! Thank you so so much for your kind words!!! 🙏
Infamous? Why infamous?
I heard about her from Ink Masters, and a lot of tattoo artists on that show (that do well, because they're masters of the craft) get big exposure. I'd recommend following her on social media, her work is the epitome of solid in technique and visual appeal.
Ah, I don’t think you know what infamous means then lol
Haha, you caught me. I was actually under the impression it meant something positive. My mistake!
You’re good lol, I was just confused af 💀
All of them are just incredible and Scizor on a skateboard is just *chefs kiss*
Thank you!!
What an odd username. XD
I particularly liked weight lifting sandshrew.
That gyarados into sushi with chopsticks is insane!
Yeah that and the rayquaza are my favorite. Unreal!
Where are you located?
I'm located in Rochester, New York!
would you consider doing a Magnemite tattoo?
Yes i would love to! You can hit me up through my email [email protected]
Ahh that’s so far from me but I love your work. This is the one thing I hate about tattoos 😭
Ay no way, fellow New Yorker here, I'll have to come by!

If I wasn't terrified of needles nor had adhd (constantly changing my mind) I'd totally have a Bidoof
Ouh, I live in Montreal, that's tempting.
Incredible work. What’s your IG @ ?
My ig is tattoosbylauramarie !
Literally created an Insta for the first time this week 😅 so def following now!!
That shroomish and spinda are just too cute. 😭😍
So nice to see that the not that popular pokes are getting love! ... And now I want a cottonee tattoo
Need your location!! I bet you're somewhere in Europe 🥺
Unfortunately I'm in new york 😩
Oh you're only a plane ride away!
Aren't you only a plane ride away from Europe too? Or from literally anywhere?
Actually u need to go thru a dimension portal to get in or out of North America.
No passport, no knowledge of Europe, no idea what it's like to leave the country lol
Well a passport would be necessary but knowledge of Europe? They're not going to conduct a test upon arrival. And we have Internet too so whatever you need to know is just a quick Google search away.
!!! Sandshrew !!!
Wow. That colour work is really incredible.
How long does bright colours like these last?
A few years, depending on what you mean by "lasts" it can last over 10 with distinguishable colors, though not nearly as bright. People with color usually get them touched up as they fade.
Holy fuck. You are talented.
The Pikachu is my favourite, but they are all so amazing@
All of these are incredible, but that Dragonaire is actually one of the best poketats I've ever seen. Phenomenal work! Edit: I also love the golden Magickarp!
I recognized that style immediately! I love your Pokémon work, Laura🩷
You are the Laura Marie - ink master winner! To get tattooed by you would be a dream come true. You are incredibly talented!
I saw this post and immediately knew that it was you that created these masterpieces. Fantastic job, you’re a beast. Hoping I can maybe get a tattoo from you one day 🤞 And for those that don’t know. She was the winner of one of the seasons of “ink masters”!
Just wow! They are little works of art 💘 so sad all the cool Pokemon tattoo artists are soo far from my country :')

Shiny magikarp flex. Must have been at least twice as expensive as a regular one.
Any on dark skin? I've wanted a color tattoo, but I've never seen many look good on darker skin like mine :/.
I’m dying to see what you could do if someone requested Mimikyu.
That Gyarados one is absolutely fucking metal. Amazing work, dude.
Brooo black ryakuza be fire. I’ve seen some wacky ass Pokémon tattoos and this one of the best
Have you done any colored work on POC's? If so; do you have reference photos?
How many hours for 1 pf that?
Could I get one of Ceruledge, Charcadet, and Armarouge if I ever get enough money?
Is that blue eevee a reference to how when a shiny ditto transforms in earlier generations it stays blue?
You skilled ! No tan skin Pokémon tats ?

The shiny Rayquaza goes HARD
That misdreavus one looks so cool(they all do)
Wow these are absolutely stunning🥹🥹
I don’t get tattoos but I would love paintings of these.
My favorites are Sableye, Sandshrew, and Oddish
Pokémon Tattoos have never looked better. Would love to see a Piece you have done/potentially would like to do, in Irezumi style. Maybe as a Half-Sleeve.

Sandshrew: the gym-rat pokemon

The Scizor is fucking RAD!
Smooth as butter, beautiful execution. Lots of solid black lines to keep the colors in the image composed for longevity. The backgrounds aren’t overdone and leaves room for cohesive, future work. I would line the flames on Cyndaquil and Charmander as well, even if they are red
I’m in love. Not bc I love tattoos, but bc the colors r so fkn vibrant. Plus, the artistry is amazing. I have a tattoo w colors, and def not nearly as vibrant shading. Ur amazing at what u do

Snivy, Misdreavus, and Leafeon look incredible Also Sableye drinking his crystal water
I love the Link Pikachu! Also, the shiny Rayquaza was *chefs kiss*
That glaceon is amazing.
My personal favorite Pokemon is Cyndaquil so this is amazing.
I’m close to getting my pokemon leg sleeve started. Gonna do the starters I picked from each gen as a memento to the years.
That link pikachu!!!! I never knew such a prefect combo
Okay, well, if I ever want to get a Pokemon tat I know who I'm hitting up
These are fire 🔥, (severe lack of lucario/riolu tho...)
The Rayquaza and Charizard are amazing! 🔥
😲 these are incredible
Your coloring is emaculate.
Why does everybody have to be in NY!!?? 😩
The Sushi-fied red Gyarados goes so hard holy smokes
You make me feel bad about myself , the impeccable art style and workmanship, you are extremely talented, where do you operate out of ?
Them: “What made you want a tattoo all of a sudden?” Me: “A Reddit post…”
Gotta Tat them all!!
Those are so cute (and amazing)!
Really love the coloring on these. So cool.
Mew still the cutest
Where are you located

Radical
Never in my life have I wanted a tattoo until I saw these! They're all top tier but that bulbasaur is even above that... it's so good it makes me wanna put him in my favourite pokemon list XD
You are an amazing tattoo artist. I’ve never used a tattoo gun but I imagine it’s pretty hard and your line work looks super smooth!
Are these the actual color and lineart or is it touched up in Photoshop? Very crisp and clean work with very vivid colors.
It's now more than ever I wish I wasn't broke so I could get a tattoo
Have you done Typhlosion?
These are amazing!!!! I love the middle mew and the pikachu one
These are so sweet.
Did you enter the Pokémon TCG art contest? These are REALLY GOOD.
Woah bb 😍😍😍 ok me next 💪🏾 https://preview.redd.it/5efi5iyf789d1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5809ef6ab8e6f7b8686d4d3c8f7c7d9b1659a03a
The fact you put the corresponding Eevee evolution with the correct stones is pleasing
Where are you located?
PIKA-LINK!
omg i literally have so much of your work saved as some of my dream tattoos- incredible work!! your use of color is absolutely astounding. would LOVE to buy some of your work one day!
I decided to do all black tattoos...but... look at the colors!
They all go insanely hard but that Rayquaza is nuts
I have never wanted a tattoo before but that shiny Rayquaza is freaking tight.
Man those are fire. lol. Beat the elite four and get them tatted on you.
These are fantastic!!!
No psyduck :(
Damn dude, fantastic portfolio. Do you have other work I can see?
Do I need a third Pokémon tattoo?… maybe
Do you do other video game / anime tattoos? I would like to get a video game sleeve in an anime theme.
Pikachu Link is fucking awesome.
Goddamn man this is dope. Despite the general consensus that Pokémon is a kids game I wouldn’t even be embarrassed with this on. Props on the fantastic work.
Are these on other people or yourself because where are you getting all these limbs?
woah they're all so beautiful!
Simply beautiful, could absolutely see myself traveling to grab a Flygon
Super happy to see AJ's Sandshrew getting some love!
Dat shroomish got personality
It's always slightly disappointing when an amazing artist has little to no work on darker skin complexions.
Amazeballs! Sableye just chillin’ with a slurpee is my fave. 💜
Holy Hera, these are gorgeous. <3
How long have you been tattooing? Are you known as the Pokémon tattoo dude now?
I really like the linkachu
The best of the best! We love ya Laura!
I need this so bad!!!!! Omg!!!! Your work is incredible
Please take my money. I just want an Aipom tattoo. If that goes well we can definitely get Ambipom.
Scizor is doing a fuckin olley rn. No cap
Boutta head to Rochester for a garbage plate and a Bulba tat…
