I'm a tattooer at Tribal Rites Tattoo in Westminster Colorado specializing in multiple styles of tattooing but I enjoy black and gray mostly. I also offer graphic design for fliers, business cards, banners, etc.

My first ever sea turtle-lotus (the turtle doesn't have dots). I had an awesome time working this out with her. I only got to do highlights in the eyes and the stone in the middle but she sat like a champ! #blackandgray #seaturtle #turtle #lotus #tattoo #tribalriteswestminster #tribalrites (at Tribal Rites)

I'm curious why it is so bad to have as you say "upside down" tattoos on your forearm? There's a tattoo I want to get but it would be upside down because it's important to me to be able to read it when I look down. Wouldn't that be why be why most people would get them? So that they can see it properly?

It’s bad because it goes against the natural flow of the body. Would you get your upper arm tattooed upside down? No? Then why is it different for your wrist/forearm? You know what your tattoo says. You can still read it if it’s upside down to you or if you turn your arm a little. It doesn’t need to face you.

You will find you don’t really have to read it once it’s there. I look down at my correct facing words several times a day and I get the message without having to read it. Even with it technically upside down to me I’m still perfectly capable of reading it just fine.

[forgotten-blossoms]

I dont understand why you care? If someone wants to get a tattoo that way why not?

[tattoopoo]

I’m just promoting proper tattoo placement. By all means get a tattoo facing you if you want but its gonna be wrong.

[my-wandering-ai]

Omg all you tattoo snobs need to get off your high horses. Get whatever you want placed in whatever orientation you desire, (provided of course your tattoo is not ignorant or hateful).

[ladiesofthetrade]

Lmao she literally said do what you want. She was not being hateful or snobby. Chill

[tattoopoo]

I proudly refer to myself as a tattoo snob

This blog saved me from getting an upside-down tattoo and a motherfucking finger tattoo. Yes, it’s your body, and sure, you can do anything you want to it, but all things have a set of rules to them, and ‘tattoo snobs’ are simply people who choose to follow the rules of tattooing. You do not have to follow the rules if you don’t want to, but if you break them, know that you’re making a choice that goes against the general consensus of those who have a deeper love and respect for the art than you do. If you choose to apply an art form to your body and you choose to break the rules, don’t get butthurt when people call you on it. Finger and hand tattoos are for full-sleeved hard-asses and wrist tattoos have a right and a wrong way to go. If you want to go your own way and break the rules, by all means go for it, but don’t be offended when the real tattoo people won’t have you at their lunch table. You should have seen it coming.

"What do you play?"

"The Clarinet, you?"

"I play the fucking HAMMER”

[bloogue-deactivated20160524]

I like how the brass guy knew it was coming while the bass clarinet still gets caught off guard

[rinasaurusrex]

I would like to thank tumblr for giving me a reason to google the phrase “What musical composition includes the FUCKING HAMMER.”
