**Welcome to /r/tattoo! Please review the rules before posting and commenting.** Artists and apprentices, please [contact the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Ftattoo) for verification! 

1. Tag all NSFW/NSFL content as such.

2. Be considerate and respectful.

3. Properly crop and focus your pictures.

4. Do not mock a person's appearance or tattoo.

5. Do not claim a tattoo that is not your own.

6. Do not request/offer medical advice.

7. No drawing/idea/suggestion/translation requests - /r/tattoodesigns and /r/translator are better resources for these things.

8. Artists & apprentices, please contact the mods for verification!

9. No scratchers or asking how to scratch.

10. Credit the artist/shop.

11. No Reposts/Multiple Posts a Day.

12. No trashing artists or shops.

We ask that you post a maximum of once per day, excessive posts will lead to removal.

Please don't ask about pricing - it varies so wildly between regions and artists that we simply can't give you a helpful answer.

**If you see any posts or comments that break any of these rules, please utilize the report or modmail functions and let us know. *Please do not reach out to moderators privately via DM or chat*.** Comments and/or posts may be removed at moderator discretion. Don't be an asshole.
