This sub is for sharing and discussing tattoo designs, whether it's your own tattoo, work you've done, or asking for opinions about a tattoo you want to get.

All tattoos must be by a professional unless you're asking how to cover up a past mistake, scratching/unprofessional tattoos aren't welcome here.

#Post requirements

All posts must include commentary/discussion, this is not only a place to share pictures. If you just want to share your ink, check out r/tattoo and r/tattoos. 

**Required:**
          
* The artist and their shop name (if you found the image online, please do an image search to find the artist.)   
* Explain the idea behind the design   
* Whether or not you're happy with it (not required if you're asking advice for a future tattoo) 
        
**More suggestions for info you can add:** 
        
* Any technical difficulties that came into play when getting / giving it   
* The tattoo styles / artistic currents / cultural elements / personal experiences that influenced it   
* Concept sketches, etc.

If your post doesn't contain the above information, it'll be removed and you'll be asked to revise your post. 

#Rules   

**1. Stay civil and keep comments about the tattoo(s).**   

   * Unnecessarily rude comments will be removed and possibly earn you a tempban.   
   * ANY comments made on personal appearance or user's body will lead to a permanent ban.

**2. Don't only add pictures, add some commentary.**  
 
   * Please see the posting requirements listed above.   

**3. No price discussions.**   

   * All artists charge differently, and trying to shop for cheap tattoos is how you'll end up with bad ones. Find a local artist and ask for a consultation.

**4. Don't encourage scratching or unprofessional work.**   

   * This sub is for professional work only. The only loophole to this is if you're asking for coverup ideas.   

**5. Credit the artist.**   

* You must add your artist's info into your post or it'll be removed, and you'll be asked to repost with the proper information. Please see the posting requirements listed above.

**6. Don't claim other people's photos/work as your own.**   

* If you steal a post for free karma or try claiming someone else's art is yours, you'll be permanently banned.

**7. Your account needs to be 20 days old with at least 20 combined karma.**   

* To prevent bots and spam, we have age requirements. Messages asking to bypass this rule will be ignored.

**8. Don't spam. No promotions/advertising other than artist's info.**   

* Don't spam posts or comments. 
* Artist social media can be shared but no advertising or promotion. No memes, contests, surveys, giveaways, sales, money-raising events, or any kind of porn ads.

**9. NSFW must be tagged, including scars. No fresh blood. No medical questions.**

* Tag appropriate NSFW and content warning- Nudity, scars, and tattoos containing gore. 
* No fresh blood, this includes blood caught under bandages like SecondSkin. 
* Medical questions need to be asked in r/tattooadvice.

**10. No asking for art, or offering to draw tattoos.**

* This isn't a sub to try to get free art, or to ask someone to draw for you even if you offer payment. Research local artists and hire them, it's part of their job to help you with the design.   
* Posts asking for art or offering to draw for people will be removed. If you really must get a sketch of your idea, check out r/DrawMyTattoo.
