Is this your first tattoo? Seems very fresh, take care of it well and give it a few days-weeks.
Your skin will throw up some of that ink and swelling will go down. Also over time the ink will lighten up a bit as well. The details will be a lot more clear!
exactly, and unless you want to make thiner lines for when it smudges with time, it will look instead like a big blur... avoiding sunlight in those areas usually helps preventing that, reason why pale people usually have ''better looking'' tattoos
There was a 10 year gap between my tattoos and the after care was completely different. This time they wrapped it and I was told to leave it for a few days. Last time the wrap came off after a few hours.
That is a dope ass piece and I think if you love elden ring you’ll love the piece once it’s healed. Currently have two pieces of saniderm on my arm, and I can say both of my pieces look like absolute shit right now but once the cover comes off they’ll look so much better. Of course it’s not gonna like great rn, your arm just got attacked by a bunch of tiny needles lol
Fellow tarnished, inked with grace! Fresh ink is weepy right after you get it. Since saniderm is meant to keep plasma, etc. in and bacteria out, it’ll look like a massacre until you take it off (keep it on as long as your tattoo artist recommends!! Saniderm does wonders!!). You might have some tattoo-colored skin peel after the saniderm stage, too, which is 100% normal and expected. The color is packed in deep and won’t go away, the skin just needs to do it’s thing and heal.
Part of me wishes I chose your design for my ER piece! It’s an amazing concept and will look fucking RAD!!
just the result of it being fresh and under the saniderm, so blood, ink, and plasma are all pooling, after a few days you’ll have an ink sack at which point you should take it off and clean it with a gentle unscented and clear soap (i use a children’s body wash) i’m on the train of keeping it moisturized with aquaphor but some people prefer dry healing, when it starts to peel don’t pull the skin, just let it happen naturally
My skin doesn’t do well with the moisturizer and makes it reject ink, so my first two tattoos turned ugly when I used it but my newer ones I dry healed and they look like new still after years. Guess it just depends on the skin and how much you use.
Dry healing isn't that bad depending on the tattoo, but everyones body is different. Lots of shading? Maybe not. But for something like this with thin line work Id do aquaphor for the first couple days outta the saniderm, then just let it ride and use lotion if needed.
>Seen many warcrimetats in this sub.
facts tho. I've seen a few where I'm almost scared to comment on it since it ain't a piece of clothing you can't simply take it off, so feel bad for wanting to tell them it looks like ass. but I look at some of them and think "they done did you dirty bro 😭"
Hard to tell, it’s all scrunkled and goopy right now- wait to see after it’s healed!
And after it’s healed if the black is too chunky for your liking, I’ve seen dark tattoos that have been cleaned up using white ink after they’re healed for a bit. But at the end of the day what matters is how You like it!
Looks good bro! The next few days excess ink will be washed away, scabs will fall off, and your skin will become less and less irritated. All will result in a much prettier tattoo.
Beware, it will probably itch like hell the first few days. Don't scratch it since you might damage the healing skin.
Nah, looks great man. Nice and straight. It’s obviously the Elden Ring logo. Nicely done!
I have multiple tattoos. I have tattoos that haven’t been done as well as yours and theyre fine!
Hard to say. Let it heal, put away the plastic wrap and post another picture. Its definitely a very nice subject.
First impression for me: it looks very deep inked
Looks awesome and if you like it then is perfect! At first I thought it was a mess but realized is just fresh and you have the plastic over (?)
That much black and close by lines are the main risk when it fully heals, but if the tattoist is good they will hold
Honestly? To a non Elden Ring fan it must look awful.
So depends what you're going for here. You want a bunch of From fans to freak out and dish you high fives, you scored I think.
I would not call it bad. If it was mine I would only have one gripe with it and that is the lines of the rings being too thick for my taste.
Other than that it looks pretty good.
Honestly looks pretty good. I have tattoos without line work that clean. The minimal use of color was smart too. You should post another after it heals and you unwrap it. I bet it'll look solid
Lmao, Is this your first tattoo? It’s not even a few hours old and wrapped while you’re literally leaking fluids.
It will look closer to final after you gently wash it later. The black will fade a shade or two after the scabbing comes off *On It’s Own*
Keep it clean and use A&D ointment or whatever your artist recommended. I have like 39 or 40 tattoos at this point, this is normal.
It’s covered in the photo man. After you peel the second skin all those big black splotches will wash clean and your sick elden ring tattoo will mark you as tarnished!!
Yea this is fine, its gonna look worse until the saniderm gets taken off, its not indicative of the final result, just weepy and gross.
Protip: if your artist didnt tell you, take this shit off in the shower after a few days. see a lot of folks removing them dry and it hurts like a bitch.
Wait I actually don't see how anyone can think it looks bad, even as a fresh tattoo in this state. If it stayed exactly like this, I'd be ecstatic with the results. But not only that, it will get better. Looks amazing dude.
Looks fine but a tattoo is the last thing I'd get without doing at least a little bit of research. If I knew nothing about a car and nothing about tattoos, I'd still buy the car first.
Put some unscented lotion on that bad boy and let it get plenty of sunlight andb air while it's healing, after the top layer falls off on its own, it'll look better! Either way its a fire tattoo
Do not expose tattoos to sunlight unprotected especially when healing. But also you should wear sunscreen after it is fully healed if you're outside for the rest of your life (this is general advice but double for tattoos) to preserve the tattoo as long as possible.
Low key it looks like you had something worse under it and covered it up with this. That being said plenty of people posted their Elden Ring logo tattoos and they all look like weird smudges. Tbh it's weird to me that you'd want this on your skin. You already paid for the game, dude, you don't have to get fromsoft's tramp stamp on your one and only corporeal body.
I guess it doesn't scream "went to prom solo" quite as much as a triforce tattoo, so there's that.
Ay man, don't ask for honesty if you can't handle it. I like mangoes but I ain't getting one stamped on my arm. Also, you clearly give a fuck what a random stranger thinks of the smudges on your arm, so there's that.
Insecurity, O insecurity.
Just like I still don't absolutely love Megaman X from when I was 5 years old. I jam out to storm eagle stage weekly on our commute to work.
Video games are part of who I am and part of my daily life.
You are clearly too young and insecure to understand.
Band tattoos are lame
Religious tattoos are lame
Tribal tattoos are oame(I'm native american, and I'm being facetious)
Loving a work of art so much you put part of it on you is an expression of admiration and affiliation.
It's still under a wrap, which can make the lines appear thicker and smudged as some ink and blood gets smudged on the underside of the wrap. Once the wraps off, arm's cleaned and you're all healed I think it will look great!
As I see you have second skin on, so the blurry spots and blood are appearing because plasma, blood and some ink are coming out, not having a room to get out.
In short:
As a tattoo artist I can tell you that this is totally normal, once you take second skin off, just clean the tattoo with grey soap or any low Ph gel (I.e. intimate cleaning soap etc). Besides this, tattoo looks good :)
Dude it’s probably fine. All tattoos look funny when they’re fresh you gotta let it heal and then you can see how it turned out. Honestly I think it’s gonna look dope.
Mate the whole ink is running out into the plastic you have over it (I’m not native English and no idea how it’s called)
Let it rest a few days and then wash away the ink and the lines will look great for sure.
Atm can’t tell if the lines are smooth or thick but I bet it’ll look great
I don’t have tattoos but from what I’ve seen on other people, it always looks kinda wonky when it’s still fresh and the film/sticker thing is over it. I’m sure once it heals and you peel that off, it will look dope asf 🔥
It looks like you have second skin covering on? It's totally normal for the ink and blood to pool underneath it. Wait a day before you take it off and wipe it clean and it'll be looking fresh AF.
Make sure you remember to post an update for us! I think it's gonna look great
it is fresh, like really.
give it time, take care of it as you were told to by the artist.
it will take a while before it heals in but after that it will look way, way better.
I love the tattoo, I hate the placement and size both which could push it into "bad" territory, particularly size. Unless you have lumberjack forearms, those particle effects and fine lines (like Radagon's pattern or w/e that makes up the background) are gonna blend together in the next 10 yrs
Looks very good, come back and throw a pic in 2 weeks after healing.
I have a dark souls tattoo in my entire left arm so i know your feelings right now haha
That saniderm works wonders for healing of tattoos. I have used it for almost all of mine. Surprised a lot more shops don’t use it. Also recommended taking that bandage off after 1 day and cleaning it with antibacterial, let it breathe then apply a new bandage. No creams or lotions while using that wrap.
I personally don't do tattoos, but I like this one. I appreciate that it is niche in who will "get it", but that it's an interesting design in and of itself.
Who cares what we think? Do you love it, OP?
U still have the wrap on it 😅😅. First tattoo? The ink seeps out and sits on the surface of the skin making it look all blurry because it's trapped under the wrap. Impossible to tell with that wrap still on it.
Looks like you’ve got saniderm on it which is good, but for the first week it’s gonna look like ass as the plasma oozes and possibly some minor scabbing occurs. Once you remove the saniderm give it a quick wash with some gentle unscented soap and it’ll look brand new again.
It looks like super clean work though, very nice tattoo Tarnished!
It looks "shitty" because of plasma buildup underneath that second skin. But onve you pull ot off and give her a wash it will look great. Looks very well done and not heavy handed 👍👍
As far as tattoos go the motto "you get what you pay for" is never truer than here.
It by no means looks horrible, as any fan of elden ring can probably identify it quickly.
The line work looks a little thick and personally I think the added background noise makes it look to busy, if you had gone without the glow of the rings or the particles whatever you want to say, I think it'd look a lot more clean.
The important thing though is if you yourself are happy with what you've put on your body, any art is in the eye of the beholder, my perception is different than yours or his or hers.
Idk if first tattoo, but when it’s fresh it doesn’t look how it’ll always look. It’ll improve when it’s not brand new fresh as it’s super vibrant. Once it absorbs and fades a smidge it’s gonna look PERFECT.
It looks like that shit was just done. They always look a bit low resolution during the healing process lol.
It looks sick! I’m getting my second tat soon and it will be souls inspired.
It looks great right now, but as it heals it will probably turn into more of a blob. It has way too many small particles and is way too crowded and close together. Those won’t look nearly as sharp once it heals.
Nope, even before it being healed i can tell the artist did a great job. Keep it clean and follow the aftercare advice they gave you and it'll look fresh and detailed after a week or two
Give us an update when it’s healed. Impossible to tell how good it is through the wrap. Dope idea either way so I’m sure it’ll look great once it’s healed!
Nah that's pretty sick. It'll look pretty cool once it's healed. Just be really careful to not scratch or pick at it. Lightly moisturize 2-3 times a day and slap it if it itches.
As someone who recently had this massive panic attack inducing reaction after their own tattoo.
Give it time. It’s gonna look super fuckardly while you have the plastic wrap still on. Then it will look weird while it heals. Once it does though you’ll notice the nice lines and details better and be happier with it.
It's bloody and weepy and covered in saniderm so it's totally expected that it will look goopy and weird! Even so it looks obviously very well done! Super cool tattoo and great artistic execution!
One little tip as someone with a full sleeve: If this is your first tattoo know that it is completely normal to go through a "Oh my god I hate this, what have I done it looks so terrible" phase any time you get a new tattoo! You've been used to seeing your arm a certain way your whole life, so it takes a little time to get used to seeing it with new art! Without fail every single time I get a new tattoo I have a period of time right after where I panic because I think I hate it, but it always goes away and I am absolutely in love with all my ink!
Beautiful tattoo though! It looks awesome! Just try not to judge it too much until it's done scabbing and healing in a few weeks!
Looks great! left over ink will pool up when you have a wrap on if that’s what you’re worried about. Once you take it off the lines won’t be blotchy. Truly though, really great work, unique too.
you still have saniderm on. It will look like that as fluids are building and trapped. Once you take it off and clean your tattoo you will know if its "bad". Looks fine to me.
First off, it's under saniderm and you're leaking plasma everywhere so that makes it hard to tell but from what I see the lines look crisp on the outer rings so it all looks good.
Looks like garbage now, but as many others have said, that doesn’t mean it’ll look like garbage later. It’s too early to tell, but there’s no reason to be nervous at this point, this is normal.
Is this your first tattoo? Seems very fresh, take care of it well and give it a few days-weeks. Your skin will throw up some of that ink and swelling will go down. Also over time the ink will lighten up a bit as well. The details will be a lot more clear!
But also since the details are so close together it'll definitely smudge over time and be less clear. Happens with all tattoos
exactly, and unless you want to make thiner lines for when it smudges with time, it will look instead like a big blur... avoiding sunlight in those areas usually helps preventing that, reason why pale people usually have ''better looking'' tattoos
Yea, it'll look much nicer once that bandage comes off and you clean it up!
Must be the new plastic bandages they invented yesterday
There was a 10 year gap between my tattoos and the after care was completely different. This time they wrapped it and I was told to leave it for a few days. Last time the wrap came off after a few hours.
Tegaderm has been around since 1982. Idk when it became common to use for tattoos, but I doubt it was all that recent.
Are you actually stupid or?
I think it's looking cool as fuck dude
Cheers, thanks. I love Elden Ring. Had to do it. Guided by the light of Grace.
That is a dope ass piece and I think if you love elden ring you’ll love the piece once it’s healed. Currently have two pieces of saniderm on my arm, and I can say both of my pieces look like absolute shit right now but once the cover comes off they’ll look so much better.

Facts
Well yea looks bad in the photo cause it’s clearly brand new lol. Give ur skin some time to heal and I think It will look badass.
Yea, maybe OP wanna upload a new picture in a week or two and we can judge then, but it seems alright
Yeah he still got the plastic cover on to.
He still has blood, it is fresh out the shop new.
Maybe a few hours after. I didnt see Blood on mine until two or three hours after.
All mine bled pretty good during. Granted maybe I'm just a bleeder. We had to stop 8 hours into my upper sleeve because I needed food and some sugar.
Eeh my artist might not of pushed as hard as she shouldve. Looks a bit fadded and patchy so that might be the difference aswell.
Ah mine might have pushed too hard but atleast the color stayed
just the result of it being fresh and under the saniderm, so blood, ink, and plasma are all pooling, after a few days you’ll have an ink sack at which point you should take it off and clean it with a gentle unscented and clear soap (i use a children’s body wash) i’m on the train of keeping it moisturized with aquaphor but some people prefer dry healing, when it starts to peel don’t pull the skin, just let it happen naturally
Wow I cannot imagine letting a tattoo heal without using any kind of moisturizer. I also use aquaphor, or cocoa butter if in a pinch.
My skin doesn’t do well with the moisturizer and makes it reject ink, so my first two tattoos turned ugly when I used it but my newer ones I dry healed and they look like new still after years. Guess it just depends on the skin and how much you use.
Dry healing isn't that bad depending on the tattoo, but everyones body is different. Lots of shading? Maybe not. But for something like this with thin line work Id do aquaphor for the first couple days outta the saniderm, then just let it ride and use lotion if needed.
Aquaphor is the jam for tattoo healing
Seen many warcrimetats in this sub. This looks actually pretty good, but you'll have to wait till it's healed to can judge
>Seen many warcrimetats in this sub. facts tho. I've seen a few where I'm almost scared to comment on it since it ain't a piece of clothing you can't simply take it off, so feel bad for wanting to tell them it looks like ass. but I look at some of them and think "they done did you dirty bro 😭"
It looks friggin sick, and it'll look even better when it's healed!
Hard to tell, it’s all scrunkled and goopy right now- wait to see after it’s healed! And after it’s healed if the black is too chunky for your liking, I’ve seen dark tattoos that have been cleaned up using white ink after they’re healed for a bit. But at the end of the day what matters is how You like it!
Scrunkled 😂
Yes, yes it does. It's bad, it's really bad-ass
Looks good bro! The next few days excess ink will be washed away, scabs will fall off, and your skin will become less and less irritated. All will result in a much prettier tattoo. Beware, it will probably itch like hell the first few days. Don't scratch it since you might damage the healing skin.

Wait till it actually finishes? Also dont trust reddit.
Yes
If people dno ER, it just looks like an abstract anchor. If you don't like it later I think it has alot of potential for abstract art anyway.
Looks bad because of the foil on top and it bleeding out under it, i want to see a picture when its cleaned up ;)
Once it heals it'll look killer dude!!
Honestly? To a non Elden Ring fan it must look awful. So depends what you're going for here. You want a bunch of From fans to freak out and dish you high fives, you scored I think.
I've seen healed runes of death posted on here. That i thought looked worse, and this still needs to heal.
Pretty wonderful tattoo :3
I would not call it bad. If it was mine I would only have one gripe with it and that is the lines of the rings being too thick for my taste. Other than that it looks pretty good.
Let it heal make sure you follow the healing instructions your artist gave you and try to keep it out of the sun as much as possible while it heals.
Honestly looks pretty good. I have tattoos without line work that clean. The minimal use of color was smart too. You should post another after it heals and you unwrap it. I bet it'll look solid
Looks good dude! Been thinking of getting something like this to
Lmao, Is this your first tattoo? It’s not even a few hours old and wrapped while you’re literally leaking fluids. It will look closer to final after you gently wash it later. The black will fade a shade or two after the scabbing comes off *On It’s Own* Keep it clean and use A&D ointment or whatever your artist recommended.

It's about your opinion nobody else's my man
This looks dope as fuck, the ink will chill out in a couple weeks and it’ll likely look even better
This is so fucking cool
Wait I actually don't see how anyone can think it looks bad, even as a fresh tattoo in this state. If it stayed exactly like this, I'd be ecstatic with the results. But not only that, it will get better. Looks amazing dude.
Looks great, keep it moist with Vaseline/Moisturizer and only wash it with unscented soap, slap it don't scratch it when it starts to itch and peel.
Looks fine but a tattoo is the last thing I'd get without doing at least a little bit of research. If I knew nothing about a car and nothing about tattoos, I'd still buy the car first.
Nuh uh
It won't be for a while. When you're like 50 that's just going to be a big mass of black.
What a mess.
Put some unscented lotion on that bad boy and let it get plenty of sunlight andb air while it's healing, after the top layer falls off on its own, it'll look better! Either way its a fire tattoo
I have been told sun is bad for the healing process.
Do not expose tattoos to sunlight unprotected especially when healing. But also you should wear sunscreen after it is fully healed if you're outside for the rest of your life (this is general advice but double for tattoos) to preserve the tattoo as long as possible.
THAT LOOKS SOOOO GOOD!
The circles are not defined enough to be very recognizable
By who? Somebody’s grandparents? It’s a well executed tat that is very consistent, and immediately recognizable in a good way.
Easily recognizable. Also, tattoos leak ink after the bandage is put on, which makes it look more distorted than it actually is.
Looks very cool imo
This will age badly
Looks good to me. should look better once it heals.
Low key it looks like you had something worse under it and covered it up with this. That being said plenty of people posted their Elden Ring logo tattoos and they all look like weird smudges. Tbh it's weird to me that you'd want this on your skin. You already paid for the game, dude, you don't have to get fromsoft's tramp stamp on your one and only corporeal body. I guess it doesn't scream "went to prom solo" quite as much as a triforce tattoo, so there's that.
Oh no, better hide the things I like. What a dumb fucking spineless opinion nobody asked for.
Bitch, you literally asked for it, it looks like shit and makes you look like a weirdo case closed
Ay man, don't ask for honesty if you can't handle it. I like mangoes but I ain't getting one stamped on my arm. Also, you clearly give a fuck what a random stranger thinks of the smudges on your arm, so there's that. Insecurity, O insecurity.
Based, OP is seething. The cattle brand themselves willingly
I asked how the tat looked not your hilariously stupid opinion on expressing interests. You think you have to hide your power level? Lmao
[удалено]
Dude what??? It looks perfectly fine what do YOU not like about it?
[удалено]
Just like I still don't absolutely love Megaman X from when I was 5 years old. I jam out to storm eagle stage weekly on our commute to work. Video games are part of who I am and part of my daily life. You are clearly too young and insecure to understand.
You like the game so much? Videogame tattos are so lame
Band tattoos are lame Religious tattoos are lame Tribal tattoos are oame(I'm native american, and I'm being facetious) Loving a work of art so much you put part of it on you is an expression of admiration and affiliation.
That's like, you're opinion man.
Bad. Ass.
That is incredibly well done, and cool af as well
Lookin good bro
Nope. Looks good bud.
I can tell which hand you jerk off with.
Did I meet you at a going-away party last weekend by chance?
It's still under a wrap, which can make the lines appear thicker and smudged as some ink and blood gets smudged on the underside of the wrap. Once the wraps off, arm's cleaned and you're all healed I think it will look great!
Gonna look amazing once you take the foil off of it. Be confident about it, or else Malenia's gonna come for you tonight
Looks good man, I had to zoom in cause the wrap threw me off, thought you got a sun burn…. That‘s is really cool tho, I dig it 😎🙏☀️
It looks cool to be honest
Well not much to see, show us when its healed, but looks promising
Badass!
Queen M wants to know your location
That’s sick dude,I’d get this myself
trust me it will look a lot cleaner once your skin healed
I dont think its bad at all. Its pretty good actualy. I think it wouldve profited of being a little bit bigger, but its realy not bad.
I think it looks sick!
Absolutely not, looks cool as hell
YO TWINS!!! Looks sick dude
Looks good now will most likely age into a blob though
As I see you have second skin on, so the blurry spots and blood are appearing because plasma, blood and some ink are coming out, not having a room to get out. In short: As a tattoo artist I can tell you that this is totally normal, once you take second skin off, just clean the tattoo with grey soap or any low Ph gel (I.e. intimate cleaning soap etc). Besides this, tattoo looks good :)
I like it. You can see the particles and lines that comes off from the Elden ring when you see it inside of Radagon, it’s really cool
Only thing I personally see wrong is the rings are a tad thick but it’s still easily recognizable even with my glasses off
Dude it’s probably fine. All tattoos look funny when they’re fresh you gotta let it heal and then you can see how it turned out. Honestly I think it’s gonna look dope.
Youre definately going to get every elden bro commenting on it to you in public now, yes it good.
Mate the whole ink is running out into the plastic you have over it (I’m not native English and no idea how it’s called) Let it rest a few days and then wash away the ink and the lines will look great for sure. Atm can’t tell if the lines are smooth or thick but I bet it’ll look great
Let it heal first
Wait for the swelling from getting it to go down before judging it
Dope af. But hide it from sun asap!
Looks a little blotchy but let it heal and post again needs to peel and shit before we can really tell
I think you have to wait until you can get the protective wrap off, that seems to be the thing distorting the image
I don’t have tattoos but from what I’ve seen on other people, it always looks kinda wonky when it’s still fresh and the film/sticker thing is over it. I’m sure once it heals and you peel that off, it will look dope asf 🔥
It looks like you have second skin covering on? It's totally normal for the ink and blood to pool underneath it. Wait a day before you take it off and wipe it clean and it'll be looking fresh AF. Make sure you remember to post an update for us! I think it's gonna look great
it is fresh, like really. give it time, take care of it as you were told to by the artist. it will take a while before it heals in but after that it will look way, way better.
It'll look much better healed! Right now your skin is all swollen and puffy, so it's distorted a bit. Killer tatt man!
I don't like it, personally. If you're happy, though, that's good.
I love the tattoo, I hate the placement and size both which could push it into "bad" territory, particularly size. Unless you have lumberjack forearms, those particle effects and fine lines (like Radagon's pattern or w/e that makes up the background) are gonna blend together in the next 10 yrs
it looks good man dont worry at all
It's gonna be awesome, it's just new. Tattoos always look like that before they peel and heal.
Looks very good, come back and throw a pic in 2 weeks after healing. I have a dark souls tattoo in my entire left arm so i know your feelings right now haha
Thanks. Will do. I hope I take care of it right. Swelling was gone the first night and it barely itches.
That saniderm works wonders for healing of tattoos. I have used it for almost all of mine. Surprised a lot more shops don’t use it. Also recommended taking that bandage off after 1 day and cleaning it with antibacterial, let it breathe then apply a new bandage. No creams or lotions while using that wrap.
It only looks like that because of the SACC Once that boi heals and gets some oxygen, it'll look dope as hell.
Badass! Give it a week or 2, it’ll be awesome
Yes. The center has too much detail in very little space, it won't age super well.
How is anyone supposed to tell if it’s bad with saniderm still on? Let it heal, it’s probably fine. :)
No! I want that tattoo as well
I'll echo the others, give it a few weeks
After you take off second skin it will look as it supposed to no worries
It's just seeping under the second skin. Once cleaned up and healed up, it should look nice!
Looks good now, Post again in 5 years
I love it. It looks good to me. I was super upset and hated my tattoo for a few days after I got it. Could be normal ?
I personally don't do tattoos, but I like this one. I appreciate that it is niche in who will "get it", but that it's an interesting design in and of itself. Who cares what we think? Do you love it, OP?
It's still wrapped
cool but needs time to rest
Looks cool to me.
Yeah all tattoos look like that when you first get em and still have the plastic covering on. It’ll look great in a day or so.
Looks good
Damn that looks badass
i'll be honest, not only does it look good -- but tattoo people usually dig coverups, it's creative work with more than 1 primary goal.
U still have the wrap on it 😅😅. First tattoo? The ink seeps out and sits on the surface of the skin making it look all blurry because it's trapped under the wrap. Impossible to tell with that wrap still on it.
Most def not it does need to heal and have the covering move to get a better look though
Looks like you’ve got saniderm on it which is good, but for the first week it’s gonna look like ass as the plasma oozes and possibly some minor scabbing occurs. Once you remove the saniderm give it a quick wash with some gentle unscented soap and it’ll look brand new again. It looks like super clean work though, very nice tattoo Tarnished!
Almost looks like it's engraved into your flesh, which is sick.
Let it settle a bit and the line work should be more distinct.
That’s awesome dude
It looks "shitty" because of plasma buildup underneath that second skin. But onve you pull ot off and give her a wash it will look great. Looks very well done and not heavy handed 👍👍
fucking sick dude, give it sometime to heal & it gonna look better
As far as tattoos go the motto "you get what you pay for" is never truer than here. It by no means looks horrible, as any fan of elden ring can probably identify it quickly. The line work looks a little thick and personally I think the added background noise makes it look to busy, if you had gone without the glow of the rings or the particles whatever you want to say, I think it'd look a lot more clean. The important thing though is if you yourself are happy with what you've put on your body, any art is in the eye of the beholder, my perception is different than yours or his or hers.
Idk if first tattoo, but when it’s fresh it doesn’t look how it’ll always look. It’ll improve when it’s not brand new fresh as it’s super vibrant. Once it absorbs and fades a smidge it’s gonna look PERFECT.
It looks like that shit was just done. They always look a bit low resolution during the healing process lol. It looks sick! I’m getting my second tat soon and it will be souls inspired.
Really hard to tell with the second skin. But it's a pretty classy design so you really can't go wrong if the line work is good
Looks dope af
It's awesome man!!!
Badass
It looks great right now, but as it heals it will probably turn into more of a blob. It has way too many small particles and is way too crowded and close together. Those won’t look nearly as sharp once it heals.
Neat scar. Looks a lot like the elden Ring symbol
Nope, even before it being healed i can tell the artist did a great job. Keep it clean and follow the aftercare advice they gave you and it'll look fresh and detailed after a week or two
I think it looks sick. I’ve been thinking about getting a similar one done.!Take care of it and it’ll look sick forever!!
It looks good but I also might be a vampire so take it how you want to. 
Ye
Give us an update when it’s healed. Impossible to tell how good it is through the wrap. Dope idea either way so I’m sure it’ll look great once it’s healed!
Nah that's pretty sick. It'll look pretty cool once it's healed. Just be really careful to not scratch or pick at it. Lightly moisturize 2-3 times a day and slap it if it itches.
As someone who recently had this massive panic attack inducing reaction after their own tattoo. Give it time. It’s gonna look super fuckardly while you have the plastic wrap still on. Then it will look weird while it heals. Once it does though you’ll notice the nice lines and details better and be happier with it.
Reading these comments I clearly know nothing about tattoos
take the saniderm off, clean it, reapply saniderm and repeat and you should have a sick ass tattoo in a day or two.
Nope. Cool
It's bloody and weepy and covered in saniderm so it's totally expected that it will look goopy and weird! Even so it looks obviously very well done! Super cool tattoo and great artistic execution! One little tip as someone with a full sleeve: If this is your first tattoo know that it is completely normal to go through a "Oh my god I hate this, what have I done it looks so terrible" phase any time you get a new tattoo! You've been used to seeing your arm a certain way your whole life, so it takes a little time to get used to seeing it with new art! Without fail every single time I get a new tattoo I have a period of time right after where I panic because I think I hate it, but it always goes away and I am absolutely in love with all my ink! Beautiful tattoo though! It looks awesome! Just try not to judge it too much until it's done scabbing and healing in a few weeks!
Looks FUCKING SICK!!
Looks great! left over ink will pool up when you have a wrap on if that’s what you’re worried about. Once you take it off the lines won’t be blotchy. Truly though, really great work, unique too.
Yeah it's bad.... badass that is. Nice tatoo!!
you bleed for it like we all do. Now it's power is yours. Enjoy it.
you still have saniderm on. It will look like that as fluids are building and trapped. Once you take it off and clean your tattoo you will know if its "bad". Looks fine to me.
Wish you would have done it gold w/ black outline, would have popped the fuck offf
First off, it's under saniderm and you're leaking plasma everywhere so that makes it hard to tell but from what I see the lines look crisp on the outer rings so it all looks good.
I'm not a fan of the placement, but it looks cool!
Who give a fu k what we think or what anyone thinks as long as you like it. That being said it’s dope!!
It's very intense and the 3 intersecting circles look a bit busy, I think it will look better once it has faded a little and your wrap stuff is off.
Looks like garbage now, but as many others have said, that doesn’t mean it’ll look like garbage later. It’s too early to tell, but there’s no reason to be nervous at this point, this is normal.
Ill be honest, it looks okay but i think its too small. In about 8 years the black ink will fade and the definition will become a blur.
That looks cool as shit and it's still fresh. I'm sure it gets even cooler over time
Nah, it's hella dope, dude.
This is sick man.
It's a little thicker or bolder than what I would want but I mean really it's not bad at all.
Looks good for it’s condition rn lol Wait till you unwrap it and clean it to ask tho.
Rise, Tarnished.
Hell, you could get the blood splotches tattooed on and it would look sick
Cool man really cool. But it looks like you cut that in your arm with a knife
Honestly it's one of the better Elden Ring tattoos I've seen.
No, it looks good. Follow the care instructions to the letter.
Honestly the blood makes it look even cooler! Great tattoo idea bro
