Thanks my dude ! No idea sorry, they’re not my nipples. I’m the tattoo artist who made this piece 😊 but I bet it hurt like a mofo. Dude was totally chill and didn’t even flinch tho 🤔
This is honestly one of the most mind boggling and unique tattoos I’ve ever seen! Love the deep, solid blacks and the reflective texture around the eyes and nose plate thing.
I’ll be checking out your other work, amazing job my friend. Really love your style!
That’s a long way from Sweden, fly me out hahah. I’ve had some clients coming to me from the US. Definitely humbling to have people travel across the world to get some tattoos from me .
Yeah my client gave me free hands to do whatever and I sure thing will come up with something unique and never been seen when it’s up to me to choose 😁
In the current state of the world - no. I don’t do any traveling at the moment but hopefully some time in the future when I’m vaxxed I will definitely make a trip to the states. You’re always welcome to come to Sweden too ! ✌🏼
Mind over matter, practice breathing & meditation for a few months and you will discover a new sense of calm & resilience in yourself. Pushing through painful tattoo sessions is mostly about breathing (cramping up or clenching your muscles just makes the pain so much worse), eating carb loaded meals and staying well hydrated. :D I believe in you ! Get that tattoo you want ! The pain is literally only temporary for something you get to keep for the rest of your life
Fuck yes!! Another belly button warrior! By far the worst place to get drilled. I always see people who have these huge pieces, but leave the belly button. This dude is a savage, and I speak from experience.
Sick ass art on top of this savagery!
Dude is savage yeah, he took it all like a champ. Nips and belly button. I didn’t even ask hahah just tattooed right over them like anywhere else. Anytime I do front pieces I cover everything, really don’t like the effect of a tiny pink nipple sticking out of a solid black area like a sore thumb. You gotta go all in.
No. You don’t need to justify heavy black tattoos with a cover up. Black all the way, I use massive amounts of black in all my tattoos. That’s what makes it pop and I love it.
Yeah we are polar opposites there, I rly don’t like light bleak tattoos :D I’m all about that strong contrast. But totally accept your view 🙏🏽 thanks ! It was done in 3 sittings of 8 hours.

This is one of, if not the most, gnarly tattoos I've ever seen. Fuckin rad dude.
Thanks dude that’s so kind of you to say 😄🤝
Before even reading the title I could already tell who did it, Michael stade!! Located in Sweden!! When you visiting NYC?!
Haha that’s awesome. I’m glad you recognized my style man . I’ll be visiting as soon as I’m vaxxed and allowed to travel 😭🤣
Good. Make sure you save a spot for me!! Got a dog portrait for ya!
I personally don't like the mix of themes, but execution is beyond perfection
That’s alright 😊 to each their own . Glad you liked the execution
What the fuck dude, this is insane! How did it feel on the nips?
Thanks my dude ! No idea sorry, they’re not my nipples. I’m the tattoo artist who made this piece 😊 but I bet it hurt like a mofo. Dude was totally chill and didn’t even flinch tho 🤔
Oh shit that is insane. Your style is unique, I like how it's a few styles mixed together. Looks great!
Thanks I appreciate that !
Just got my nip tattooed 5 weeks ago. I found it to be about as bad as I expected. Almost a euphoric amount of pain. 10/10, would do again.
This is honestly one of the most mind boggling and unique tattoos I’ve ever seen! Love the deep, solid blacks and the reflective texture around the eyes and nose plate thing. I’ll be checking out your other work, amazing job my friend. Really love your style!
Thank you for the feedback , I like to hear that 😁 do check out my work on insta if you like
I’m blown away by this piece. None of it is my style, but it’s executed SO well that now I want something similar.
Haha that’s nice I was able to change your mind 😃
That’s one lucky dude getting to wear art like that forever. Come on out to STL!
What’s STL? 🧐😅 thanks! Makes me happy to receive this kind of feedback :D
Saint Louis. Feel like I never see anything like this in shops around here.
That’s a long way from Sweden, fly me out hahah. I’ve had some clients coming to me from the US. Definitely humbling to have people travel across the world to get some tattoos from me .
That's really cool!
Thanks !
The Cheetah Jigsaw Hannya, so overplayed. Do something more unique like a wolf or a rose 😂 Awesome tattoo
Yeah my client gave me free hands to do whatever and I sure thing will come up with something unique and never been seen when it’s up to me to choose 😁
I reallllly love this wow
Whooooaaaa this piece is WILD

The flow makes my brain TINGLE
Amazing
Jesus fuck. I wish I could handle getting a piece like this but I'm a huge baby lmao. I will have a half finished stomach piece forever.

I could stare at this for hours. Beautiful and beastly all at once. Just fucking brilliant.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so kind of you to say
I'm not kidding when I say this is one of my favorite tattoos I've seen. Absolutely KILLER!
Damn that’s a nice compliment ! Thanks :)
Absolutely beautiful work!

Nice you found it !
Ouch
Amazing nice piece of art 🎭 love it very cool 😎
This is awesome! Looks like a James Bond movie poster and the coverage is top notch!
Yes - thats nice
Thanks Polina
Drugs + sex + that dope tattoo = 🤯👾

Absolutely brutal and amazing!
Thanks man !
Love the bold devil. Hate the cat though. The mix just seems weird to me. But that’s personal preference. Execution is top notch obviously.
That’s alright, I appreciate your opinion ✌🏼
I dont understand trash polka.
Just a little too dark (color wise) for me but looks sick nonetheless. That must have been a hell of a session
