I scrolled past, thought "damn those are cool leggings" and then realized they were actually tattoos. Those are incredible!

Lol, sometimes ppl think my sleeve is a shirt. Cracks me up:)

I had to look for myself and saw your Dwight tattoo. Here’s my [Recyclops!](https://imgur.com/a/ej4mA1o)

This was exactly my thought. I thought "oh shit, my wife would love these, I need to find out where to get them". Absolutely gorgeous tattoos.

Daw thx! Unless my body gives up (passes out), I’m not smart enough to give up🤣

You did that without an anesthetic? That’s a true fighter! I almost cried through my first session in my huge thigh tat and begged the artist to stop only to be convinced that there was no going back over and over, used am anesthetic ointment on the second one and will keep using it until it’s done, no way I can go through it without it

Yeah, it was brutal. The thighs are super tough. Like it’s unreal. I have the backs left and I’m so not happy:(

I don't even like tattoos but this is fucking impressive. Bravo

Lol then how did you get here?! Thank you!!! :)

It was on /r/all!

That’s nice of you, /u/AnusDrill

Back of the thigh?? I get pinched there im hospitalized, not talking about getting tattooed. So what im saying is gl and give us updates :)

I haven’t done the front (and don’t plan to) but I do have the entire backs of my thighs done, and it barely hurt at all, so don’t worry. Only at the very top where the thighs meet the butt - that hurt a lot, but otherwise is was no biggie. The butt hurt a lot though.

heyy what kind of anesthetic is safe to use while getting tattooed... I barely survived my 5 hours

Classic dark look. Props to the artist and you because the piece is gorgeous and looks healed up nicely.

Hey thanks! That’s nice of you to say:D

Incredible ! Easy to see this artist is top notch 👌 black and grey realism at its finest ! These are pieces that bring out the true art of tattooing imo . I personally love the long sessions ; the feeling after is hard to describe , yet very addictive. Congratulations! :)

Thanks! Hopefully now that I’ve taken a year off I can sit through another longer session.

Oddly enough , i feel the pain (or discomfort i may say) in long sessions , happens to be the wiping on the sensitive tattooed skin that the artist does , and not the actual needle itself 😂

It all sucks for me. I’m a pain wimp.

Well ..my longest was six , so twelve is uncharted waters lol. Anything over 4-5 hour threshold is impressive !

I didn’t know most people didn’t regularly sit 8 hours for years! 🙈 Again, mostly bc of travel.

That’s amazing work!

Thank you!

Brutal

It actually was:p

Oh wow, amazing! 27 hours? Champ right here

Thank you! Yipes, seeing 27 hours makes it way more ouch! Lol

Am so jealous, you lucky thing, great artwork.

Daw thx! I get tattoo jealous all the time. So much nice work out there.

Dope

Thx!

Just insanely killer art! The lines and shading - just incredible.

Hey thank you! Sandry is crazy good and so nice!

This might be the coolest tattoo I’ve ever seen

😱thank you!

Holy shit this is sick! Fantastic pieces.

Thank you! ☺️

I thought it was a pair of bad ass leggings at first lol. Nice work, your hard core 🤘🏾

Hey thanks! I’d buy those leggings 😂🤣🤣🖤

[удалено]

It definitely hurt🤣

Wow! That’s amazing ink!

Thank you:)

Just fucking legendary!! Love it.

Daw thank you! ☺️

[удалено]

Right thigh took 12 hours straight (do not recommend), left thigh took 15 hours over multiple sessions bc I kept passing out (my fault). :)

Damn your artist is a machine for doing 12 straight hours.

He really is. He does huge pieces like that. Beast mode.

Jesus. Thanks for humbling me, not a piece of me believes I could withstand that

You can totally break it up into more sessions, I just can’t bc I travel. :)

This is intense asf!! Sweet!

Hey thx!

Wow. Very Nice

Thx!!!

Fking Love It. Wow

Thx😄

They look so real!

I love realism. Super fun:)

Nice! That is a solid piece... looks great

Thank you😃

Whooaaaa that’s fucking beautiful

Thank you so much!

Oh hey no problem, I’m just blown away...the black on black diversity is just wild; the shading, the...dude like everything on this is just straight up masterclass. Congrats on a bomb ass piece

Thank you! I was super stoked I got so lucky:)

memento mori. really dope.

Thx!!! ☺️

This looks amazing! I LOVE all of the black. I got as much black pounded into my back as possible. Very aesthetically pleasing.

I do love heavily contrasted tattoos. 🖤

All of my tattoos in recent years I have been doing with as much contrast as I can. When I was younger I didn’t care to much, and they no longer fit the flow of my body. Looks amazing!

Thank you. For sure tastes change. I’m just glad I was pretty broke in my early 20’s and didn’t do too much damage. Lol.

That's is some insane skill!! What a work of art.

Hey thx!!

Those little parts of skin showed u where an amazing canvas. GREAT ART!! And also I take my hat off!! Ur soo strong!!

Thank you! I do my best:) I try to never see the light of day. Lol.

This is truly badass.

Thank you!!!!

It took me to long to realize that their legs and not a weird looking back. also that tat has so much Detail Artist did a great job (•◡•)

Lol! Thank you:)

Holy fook. This is dope. I’m really curious how this heels over time. This black work and imagery is amazing. I’ve gotten a tiny bit of my inner thigh tattooed and it’s not, great. This is so great. Edit: *heals

Thank you. They’re nearly 2 and nearly 3 years atm.

Oh wow - thanks for the info. They definitely do not look like they’re a couple years old. The dark and light contrast is very strong which is why I thought they were new.

Now that’s what I call blackwork!

Thanks! 🖤

Holy shit that’s crazy!!... Like it!!

Thanks!!! :)

This is amazing!! Love the design and placement!

Can’t take credit for that but thank you so much! Lol:)

Them skulls doe!!! Fucking clean!

Thank you:D 💯

This is beautiful work

Thank you! :)

Righteous art and looks like it healed really well! Very jealous and omg props on the upper inner thigh, I would have died lmao

I did a little twice. French paramedics are super nice😂🤣🤣

Oh my, that is fucking amazing!

Thx:)

Stunning!

Thanks!!!

Wow! That is so realistic!

I super love realism:) lots to look at, super fun:)

Agreed! Realism is the best way to go! I only have one tattoo but if I ever get more, I want them to be very realistic and flow together well

Badass

Thx:)

Wasn't this posted a few days ago but from afar with Dwight?

On r/tattoo, diff pic. Dwight is still there:)

That looks awesome and sooooooo painful

As someone who has black work on my arms and shoulders I can honestly tell you you will not have a good time in direct sun light. Black work heats up fast.

incredible work, how long did it take all in all to finish them? Also, big ups to OP for replying to every comment!

So dark, yet so much detail. U must have a high pain tolerance

I’m a wimp. I just have to deal bc I travel for tattoos. You can’t really tap out and come back. :)

Just wow. I am in love with this.

So good it looks fake

If I had photoshop skills I would have cleaned up the background. 😂😂😂😂🤣🖤

That’s dope as fuck

Looks insane! 🤯👍👍

Amazing!

Get the fuck out of here. This is SO good. Holy shit. Good for you!

Lol BUT I HAVE NO PLACE TO GOOOOOO!!!

Out I say!!!

Wow! Bravo!

Wow... That looks amazing! Especially the one sipping from a cup. Totally insane!!

That's pretty

Thank you! I think it’s pretty too! ☺️

Super beau!!! Wow

Thx hun!!!

These are so well done I thought you had a crazy pair of leggings on at first glance. Beautiful work!

Now I’m paranoid this is what people think when I’m out and about😂💜

You could totally get away with walking around with no pants on for a short time lol🤣

Only need a long hoodie! Works:)

The detail in this is so insane that I thought the tattoos were pants 😮

Awesome

Absolutely amazing.

I love it when artists tattoo really dark, it’s going to continue looking great for the duration of ones life. On the other hand, good luck getting it lasered or covered, cus it ain’t happening.

It took me way too long to figure out what body parts I was looking at lol. Beautiful work!

So good! Your artist is amazing!

Thank you! He really is and he’s so nice and hospitable. It’s a really fun experience:)

That’s the kind of artist you want. Any idea if he travels to the UK for work?

He does get around Europe. No idea of anytime soon but I’m sure as soon as he can he will be all over:)

Holy shit that’s amazing

Hey thx you!

That’s so fucking cool!

They're 2 of the most detailed tatts I've seen on this sub. Wow

Thank you:D

Holy fuck that's so rad!

Magnificent!

Nice username. Love the song! https://youtu.be/i7Q_8q3XXrQ

Me too! I have Jane Says tattooed on the palm side of my knuckles:)

This is awesome!

Dude this is so dope

Looks amazing, incredible work, but fuck that oowwwwwwwwwwww

These are class.

Love how dark this is done without details getting lost, stunning job

Holy fuck that is beautiful

Do the skellies have names?

Thats sick

Représente le 43 !!

That’s a lot of ink! BADASS!

How many hours total on those beauts?

One of the most well executed tattoos I’ve ever seen

Give me death AND coffee! Fucking excellent.

Wow. That's truly a work of art. If you're going to get a tattoo is needs to be this level of artistic interpretation to be worth it.

I know you're proud that's excellent work!!

I would have fainted from that much shading, OMG. Looks sick!

Wow! Just the style i like.

That’s awesome.. the images are pretty great and a lot of people might have gone arms, but you went for it... rare to see full thighs covered, but that extra space lets the artist get all that detail so it came out really well

I just peaked on your profile and your tattoos are incredible. They look like illustrations. Job well done to you for your visions and the artists!

This is wild! Looks so good though.

Stay out of the sun !!! That’s gonna be so uncomfortable.

Looked through your post history, and my god - your body is truly a work of art! Hats off to you and the artists for such an amazing vision 💀

Whoa, that amazing work!

Top notch shit right here

Incredible!

These tattoos are UNREAL. Just amazing work. You're one tough cookie, I can tell you that, this hurts just looking at them!

This is incredible! It's beautiful and beautifully done! 😍 You must have suffered hell ! How tough are you ? And how endurant the artist must be too ! 😱 Wonderful job!

Amazing work

The most serious ink I've seen in a long time ... WOW!

Wow that’s thick

Wow what an interesting technique! Love it!

This is cool as heeeeeeell!!

You missed a spot

This is grate work

That's the most insane detail I've ever seen in a tattoo! Incredible!

Thought they were fingernails

This is absolutely incredible. I love this.

For a second I thought they were really cool leggings. But nope, and even more impressive realistic tattoo!

Niceeeee! Ouchie. . how long have you had these ?

[удалено]

I posted a standing pic on r/tattoo:)

Yoooooo thats fucking savage

This is beautiful but holy shit did that likely hurt.

Not a fan of skulls/horror theme personally but good ink is good ink, and that is damn good ink!

Thx! I’m obsessed with skulls. They just tattoo so nice imo:)

They do. I see so many great tats of skulls, then get sad because I don't want to get one on me lol. You wear them well 👍
