The giant skull piece with Spongebob is insane. One of the greatest pieces I have ever since. Aside from the intricate details of the skull, that blue is beautiful. Zoomed in without the arms in the picture it looks like a t-shirt. I'm a huge fan of skulls too. Hands down one of the greatest. Kudos to the artist and canvas.
For kids: have then write down what they want, the size, and where they want it on a calendar. If they still want the same exact tattoo in a year, they can get it. My mom did this for me, and even after a few months of waiting i had already changed my mind and was uncertain of what it was i actually wanted. The experience made me so grateful that i didn't go through with my first tattoo ideas on an impulse and it really made me consider the concept of permanent in a way that i was unable to before.
My mom told me to wait at least 5 years just because people can change a lot in that time frame. I have yet to find one that has piqued my interest for nearly that long
For the “kids getting tattoos” thing, I say treat it with the same method as a 6 year old wanting a big haircut. Make a deal, say to wait “x” amount of time to see if they still want it (rather than impulse), and then make sure it gets done at a legitimate place. Everyone’s happy in the end
@@333funkymunky Exactly, and teens can be very rebellious - unhappy kids that just gained autonomy can be a bad mix. If a teen really wants a tattoo, they can get it real cheap in anyone’s basement and then have a permanent stick-and-poke or wobbly one. (Not to mention possible infections!) Instead of just saying no, it can be way more beneficial to make an agreement. Ex: “I’ll pay for [reasonable amount] of your first tattoo [of reasonable size and appropriateness] if you wait until [age] birthday. If you figure out you don’t want one anymore by then, that’s okay and I’ll get you a different gift”. It gives the kid time and incentive to think. In the end, a parent’s job isn’t to own their child, it’s to guide them to make responsible decisions. This may not work for all families but it’s just my idea.
I made a deal with all 4 of my kids, if they wait till they were 18 I’d pay for their first tattoo. Up until 18 they could get piercings. They all waited, it’s probably because they grew up around tattooed folks who shared horror stories 😂
no this is such a smart idea. my dad did the same thing, it encouraged me to wait + plan out all my tattoos instead of getting a random one done illegally or abroad. just got it a month ago, was such a great experience and i’m so glad i waited + got to have such an open discussion with my dad.
I love this idea! I'm going to do this if my son wants a tattoo when he's older. My parents wouldn't let me even get piercings, so I had a friend pierce my belly button at 16. But my friend's father was a tattoo artist and piercer, so my friend knew how to do it the proper way and had the right tools, everything sterile, and he did a great job! I started planning my tattoos out around then too, and as soon as I was 18 I got my first one.
Same. I told my daughter that she could get whatever she wanted pierced, but if it was done with a gun I would disinherit her! She got her lower lip and the side of her nose pierced when she was 16, and a very classy tattoo when she was 19. No regrets.
Literally I wanted tattoos since I was young but decided to wait till I was 24, no regrets would definitely have regretted the tatts I wanted as a teen😂😂😂
The animals at 7:22 are axolotls (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl), one of the most fascinating animals around! They become adults without losing their juvenile traits, and can regrow limbs 😊. They would do for super cool tattoos, just not these ones 😂
its actually really rare but some do turn into their air breathing form. its so rare that any time it happens people are asked by scientist to document it since they cant produce the results
Haven't seen anyone mention this in the comments; at 7:25, those are axolotls. They're related to salamanders. They've been growing a lot in popularity lately, especially during quarantine. Not necessarily as tattoos, but as pets, aesthetics, and just cool little creatures in general
I'm typically not a fan of color tattoos because I get so disappointed to see the vibrancy lost over years, but those beautiful roses nearly have me swayed. They look magical!
I have a type of ocd/sh issue where I'll pick my skin on my legs, but I haven't done it on my arms since I got my tattoos. It's like the art rewired my brain, and I'm so grateful. That's why I want to get tatted on my legs so badly, cuz it's proven to help me with my sh coping.
I used to cut my thighs as an angsty teen, but stopped once I got both thighs tattooed basically from around my waist down to each knee. I haven’t cut since the day the tattoos were started. They’re beautiful, plus my best friend did them so I will never allow myself to disrespect his art by dragging a razor through it. Give it a try, it worked well for me.
I struggle with SH when I'm stressed, particularly on my forearms. I got my first tattoo on my left arm a few weeks after SHing, and I haven't had the urge since. It really is a good way to fence it off mentally
The kid getting tattooed around the nine minute mark is actually Elliott Fullam from Terrifier 2! Super nice dude. Met him at a horror con not long ago.
It would really be nice to see these tattoos after a few months, if not a year. They may look good when new, but they don't always look as good after they have fully healed, especially ones that are just color.
@@catgirllover666rockstargodmonk Tribals without meaning and created by a tattoo artist without understanding the culture is what makes them an eye sore, but if it's what the client wants then it's what you give them 🤷
God! The dreamcatcher with the feathers, sooo much of those. Also with the dudes getting tribal tattoos everywhere. LAME. Or like the people with Chinese or Japanese writing and don't speak or know the language.
@@Bornagain7202 This doesnt make it any less unbearable and even more common than you think, people just need to stop doing lions in general, there are so many other animals in the world, why always the freaking lion???
@@laurapiacentinicasarin8205 I think honouringorlord and savior makes it a huge difference. The act it's not rom the same.concept or mindset of king of the jungle makes the difference. The lion is the only animal tht Jesus is described as coming back like in the Bible.
the peeling turtle picture is so funny to me because back in highschool alot of kids got tattooed by students and they printed this on the corkboard outside the nurses office labeled "infected tattoo". I guess so many students went there bc an infected tattoo they got in the bathroom lol
I didn't get my first tattoo until I was 19. I'm glad I waited, because every kid in my high school that got a tattoo done always had it looking like hot garbage.
Yup good choice my first tattoo is what you would call a “backyard tattoo” and i didn’t realize how bad it was until i started getting professional tattoos 💀
God, I got an infection from an artist after a tattoo from him. The next day it was bumpy, like millions of tiny pimples, and a Staph infection formed and I had to go get it lanced and drained. Three days later, it still hadn't started healing and I realised my nurse hadn't actually cleaned out the wound after opening it up. I saw what I thought was puss (it was the sac from the infection) and I pulled it out and I was left with a pefect circular hole in my arm. However, once the sac was out, it healed in two days. I got a massive cover up for the original tattoo 5 years ago and the scar is practically non-existent. Shop that he worked at closed 2 years ago.
O...m....g....That SpongeBob tattoo with the underwater school is the BEST tattoo I have ever seen in my entire life. That is so fkng dope. The colors, the color saturation, the details, the creativity...I am in awe of it. I haven't even gone past it yet. Just staring at it with video paused...I seen someone say the Artists' name. A guy named Sandry Riffard. *Anyone else been staring at it on pause to try to find the guy's nipples?*😅 I think I did find them. Pony is def off about the one to the left (our left, as the viewer) but, the right one is where Gary is. Thanks for featuring these tatts Pony. Entertaining vid.😉
I got my first tattoo at 13 and my 2nd and 3rd at 15. They were pretty large tattoos, too. They were done better than the one's I got when I was older at a tattoo shop. This was back before tattooing was legal in my area. The ones done by Tracy Devine still look pretty good 30 yrs later. I remember showing up at her house, and there was a pot belly pig, a turkey, and rats running around, lol. I didn't get an infection, but nowadays, that wouldn't be aloud.
7:22 that's an Axolotl, Aztecs used to worship them for their regenerative properties. Super cute lil guys. But their aquariums have to be pretty basic for their own safety / survivability
I am a person who had a hard phase picking on skin and scratching open wounds,BUT I never ever did that on my tattoos. Too much money spend and they were part of the psychological healing process. Glad I did control myself....
Cute kid! I have a tat on my _pelvis._ My 3.5 y.o was getting press on tattoos at the day home one day. When asked where she wanted hers at, she said "on my P-P, just like my Mommy!" I was mortified! 🤦🤣
i got my first tat at 13, it was stick and poke done by my uncle fresh out of prison (had been locked up 13 years) it was 2 finger tats, a sun and moon silhouette . look like complete trash, but i love em. cool story attached to it and it’s a snapshot of where i was in life when i got it.

I had something similar like what happened to the third girl. I got a pretty big tattoo on my leg from a visiting artist. It was 2 days back to back of 6-8 hours each day. You can actually see in the photo from the first day where the skin looks a bit off from the rest. Over the next couple of days it looked like it scabbed up really quick. I jumped in the shower and my skin where that patch was literally fell off ... I wish I was over exaggerating but I have pictures to prove it too xD. Then a couple of small spots I didn't know about came off a few days later as well. Overall it took well over a month for those spots to heal properly. They're also a form of scar tissue now as well and they still hurt from time to time. I'm not sure if i'll ever risk getting those spots touched up in the future. The biggest spot was thankfully just background but a few small spots were close to the subject as itself.
I have a Leo tattoo that I got almost 20 years ago, but I drew it myself and my artist(Randy Keinel) was cool enough to use my drawing and didn't rework it. I still get compliments on it to this day.
I assume that this owl/skull tongue is cut in half (in a fight or in an accident) and this detail makes the tattoo dope af. Makes me think what could have happened, but in my opinion it is definitely a battle scar.
The kid in the Slipknot shirt is actor Elliot Fullam, Sienna's brother from Terrifier 2, he got that tattoo for his 17th birthday in Sept. 2022, that's the legal age in New Jersey, and he got another one as a Christmas present to himself later that year on his inner left wrist that says "EITHER/OR"
My tattoo itched like crazy and my artist adviced me to tap not scratch. I also used a cut tube sock to keep the sun off of it for the first couple months and moisturized it multiple times a day after the plastic thingy fell of (on its own). Its water color and a word and still super vibrant 7 years later :)
Looked up lion tattoos on Google images. Immediately saw about 5 that were almost identical to the ones you reviewed here. Always blue eyes for some reason
I always wanted to get a tattoo but I was very aware that my tastes would change when I got older. So, when I was 19, 20, 21 etc...I'd get them drawn on with a black sharpie to see if I would like something for even a week. I'm glad I did that. I didn't get a tattoo until I was 35...but it was done by a friend that I watched grow as an amazing artist. I want to get two more tattoos from two other friends that became amazing tattoo artists but I gotta get my ass back to California now that I live in Minneapolis. I thought it'd be cool to get tattoos from people I witness evolve from sketch books to skin books? Love the channel. New subscriber.
Man it’s good to see what you think of other peoples work. I have plenty of bad tattoos but I’m currently working on a chest piece with Angel Rose, and a full leg sleeve with Bob Jones. And I could not be happier. I can’t wait we will do more in a couple months. And my chest will be done and the black work on my leg will be done.
I lat my youngest daughter get her first tattoo at 16. We had to drive to a nearby state (We’re in CA) and found a professional. She picked a very cute, subtle tattoo and we went back two more times in a year and a half. She loves her tattoos and appreciates the fact I trusted her judgement and supported her decision to get tattoos.
I have a black and gray tattoo with the splash of color but it makes more sense. It's a helmet from the game Titanfall. The helmets tend to be very drab colors but the visor is bright blue so my artist and I agreed to only color that portion. I agree that the black and gray with a bit of blue doesn't work in most scenarios but in this one where the original color was actually blue, i think it can work
The lion with the crosses is not a king of the jungle thing. The lion symbolizes Jesus Christ. the imagery is used in the bible as he came to earth as a sacrificial lamb but is returning as a Lion (lord and king). The symbol is also used in fictional works such as CS lewis' The lion the witch and the wardrobe where the lion Aslan symbolized Christ.
9:58 that's a very common theme to tattoo in Brazil. Folks will tattoo the Lion of Judah, crosses, hourglasses and roman warriors, sometimes in one composition.
OK that's dope af. I've never actually seen a morph tattoo work that well before. "got all lumpy, and started leaking" that is like, the LAST phrase I'd EVER want to use to refer too a spanking new tattoo. That looks HORRID! 13:23 ok THAT is just cool. Future tatt artist right there. Her parents seem cool. also props on the wolverine action figure on her working table. I LIKE IT!
Ik this is older, but with the kids getting tattooed; I was 16 and wanted one… my dad sat me down and said he would allow it and even help pay for it as a gift if I could explain to him what I wanted, where I wanted it, why I wanted it and if there was any meaning behind it. Then he got it through my thick head that it was going to be permanent and in the prime location for a tat(my arms). I definitely give him credit now for my sleeves being perfect to me over 10yrs later. (I got my arms done after I turned 23 not 16 lol)
I have two very basic tattoos but honestly I love them because of the meaning behind them and not just the design , but I really like deep black tribal tattoos and I have two and will probably be getting a third
i think it's hilarious that you brought up hippos being the true kings of the jungle. those things are like a living hole punch with anger issues and even more muscles than anger.
an idea for those who want colored eyes, have the eyes un inked and use sharpies to color it in, that way you can change it up! and the sharpie lasts a week or so if you don't use rubbing alcohol to clean it off.
I told my kids they could get all the tattoos they wanted, after they turned 18 and I no longer had a say in it. I like and have tattoos, but I don't think anyone that young has a real idea of what they want on them for the rest of their lives. My oldest spent her 18th birthday getting a tattoo. It was a good day.
That toy tattoo machine the 7 year old got for Christmas is brilliant lmao I want to get it for my nieces, I know they'd love it too! Here's to hoping they still sell the product
The little girl is using a real tattoo pen, the cartridge is just altered with a ballpoint pen . They are great for practicing dot work. Or regular practice with speed and voltage

They're also a form of scar tissue now as well and they still hurt from time to time. I'm not sure if i'll ever risk getting those spots touched up in the future. The biggest spot was thankfully just background but a few small spots were close to the subject as itself.
I have the skin picking disorder and it takes everything in me not to pick at my healing tattoos but i’ve doing so much better
I have a Leo tattoo that I got almost 20 years ago, but I drew it myself and my artist(Randy Keinel) was cool enough to use my drawing and didn't rework it. I still get compliments on it to this day.
I assume that this owl/skull tongue is cut in half (in a fight or in an accident) and this detail makes the tattoo dope af. Makes me think what could have happened, but in my opinion it is definitely a battle scar.
The kid in the Slipknot shirt is actor Elliot Fullam, Sienna's brother from Terrifier 2, he got that tattoo for his 17th birthday in Sept. 2022, that's the legal age in New Jersey, and he got another one as a Christmas present to himself later that year on his inner left wrist that says "EITHER/OR"
@5:00 literally every tattoo artist is questioning their career\passion rn. That truly is a one of a kind tat. Think mythic level tier.
That kid is actually an actor. He's in Terrifier 2!
Found this guy by accident, so goddamn entertaining. Keep it up 👌🏼
That turtle got dug into the skin like it’s all scar with little ink lol add in the picking and it’s a wrap
My tattoo itched like crazy and my artist adviced me to tap not scratch. I also used a cut tube sock to keep the sun off of it for the first couple months and moisturized it multiple times a day after the plastic thingy fell of (on its own). Its water color and a word and still super vibrant 7 years later :)
Looked up lion tattoos on Google images. Immediately saw about 5 that were almost identical to the ones you reviewed here. Always blue eyes for some reason
I always wanted to get a tattoo but I was very aware that my tastes would change when I got older. So, when I was 19, 20, 21 etc...I'd get them drawn on with a black sharpie to see if I would like something for even a week. I'm glad I did that. I didn't get a tattoo until I was 35...but it was done by a friend that I watched grow as an amazing artist. I want to get two more tattoos from two other friends that became amazing tattoo artists but I gotta get my ass back to California now that I live in Minneapolis. I thought it'd be cool to get tattoos from people I witness evolve from sketch books to skin books? Love the channel. New subscriber.
Man it’s good to see what you think of other peoples work. I have plenty of bad tattoos but I’m currently working on a chest piece with Angel Rose, and a full leg sleeve with Bob Jones. And I could not be happier. I can’t wait we will do more in a couple months. And my chest will be done and the black work on my leg will be done.
The skull w/ Spongebob was awesome. Love to know how many sessions that would've taken.
The blue skull 🥰👍 best and matched the blue so better
I really liked the blue roses
I lat my youngest daughter get her first tattoo at 16. We had to drive to a nearby state (We’re in CA) and found a professional. She picked a very cute, subtle tattoo and we went back two more times in a year and a half. She loves her tattoos and appreciates the fact I trusted her judgement and supported her decision to get tattoos.
That owl tho!! ❤
Heyo!!! Thank you for the shout out ☻
The skull tattoo is absolutely INSANE!
4:19 man that tattoo looks so good that it doesn't even look like a tattoo. That's crazy!!!
Oh that's the kid from Terrifier 2!
And Little Punk People :)
The skull tattoo was done by Sandry Riffard
Damn the skull with SpongeBob damn 🤩🤩
I have a black and gray tattoo with the splash of color but it makes more sense. It's a helmet from the game Titanfall. The helmets tend to be very drab colors but the visor is bright blue so my artist and I agreed to only color that portion. I agree that the black and gray with a bit of blue doesn't work in most scenarios but in this one where the original color was actually blue, i think it can work
Sandry Riffard is the tattoo artist. You have to see his work, not only this, but skulls are his thing. amaze balls if you ask me
pony with the facts once again !! awesome video ma man
The most amazing piece of art was that skull tattoo with spongebob the level of detail unbelievable
The Tool Time at the beginning 😂😂 whenever anyone asked what time it is that’s my reaction and no one knows 😢
About to get my first tattoo and what you said about cheap vs expensive tattoo is spot on, the guy doing mine is premo.
The lion with the crosses is not a king of the jungle thing. The lion symbolizes Jesus Christ. the imagery is used in the bible as he came to earth as a sacrificial lamb but is returning as a Lion (lord and king). The symbol is also used in fictional works such as CS lewis' The lion the witch and the wardrobe where the lion Aslan symbolized Christ.
9:58 that's a very common theme to tattoo in Brazil. Folks will tattoo the Lion of Judah, crosses, hourglasses and roman warriors, sometimes in one composition.
love your take on hippos, very true
*Me looking at my owl tattoo with geometric shapes*
"Yeah lions are basic lol how unoriginal"
OK that's dope af. I've never actually seen a morph tattoo work that well before. "got all lumpy, and started leaking" that is like, the LAST phrase I'd EVER want to use to refer too a spanking new tattoo. That looks HORRID! 13:23 ok THAT is just cool. Future tatt artist right there. Her parents seem cool. also props on the wolverine action figure on her working table. I LIKE IT!
13:16
I'm gonna get a Hippo tattoo! But with a pocket watch, and 3 crosses. 💯
I enjoyed your video and the truthful tips and comments you gave. I am glad you didnt just trash talk the artists Thank u
Ik this is older, but with the kids getting tattooed; I was 16 and wanted one… my dad sat me down and said he would allow it and even help pay for it as a gift if I could explain to him what I wanted, where I wanted it, why I wanted it and if there was any meaning behind it. Then he got it through my thick head that it was going to be permanent and in the prime location for a tat(my arms). I definitely give him credit now for my sleeves being perfect to me over 10yrs later. (I got my arms done after I turned 23 not 16 lol)
I'm here for the Tim Allen 'Tool Time' jokes.
I have two very basic tattoos but honestly I love them because of the meaning behind them and not just the design , but I really like deep black tribal tattoos and I have two and will probably be getting a third
I got my first tattoo at age 16 out of some guy's trailer. It's the Pearl Jam stick man. I don't regret it
That’s rad
The SpongeBob skull is from Sandry Riffard in France! Incredible work!
i think it's hilarious that you brought up hippos being the true kings of the jungle. those things are like a living hole punch with anger issues and even more muscles than anger.
Love the tool time that took me back!
an idea for those who want colored eyes, have the eyes un inked and use sharpies to color it in, that way you can change it up! and the sharpie lasts a week or so if you don't use rubbing alcohol to clean it off.
4:19 just wtf. How? It doesn’t even look real, that’s the most incredible tattoo that I’ve ever seen and probably will. It’s so clean.
I told my kids they could get all the tattoos they wanted, after they turned 18 and I no longer had a say in it.
I like and have tattoos, but I don't think anyone that young has a real idea of what they want on them for the rest of their lives.
My oldest spent her 18th birthday getting a tattoo. It was a good day.
Love the home improvement reference
The "kid" is Elliot Fullam, he's 18 , an actor
Is that the kid from Terrifier 2?
@@thomascooper7284 yes
I went to jr. high with a girl in 2000 who had a full sleeve of all the A.F.I. albums
That toy tattoo machine the 7 year old got for Christmas is brilliant lmao I want to get it for my nieces, I know they'd love it too! Here's to hoping they still sell the product
10:24 well, it's actually my dad who does😂
Those blue roses on the high thigh...omg..wow...
The little girl is using a real tattoo pen, the cartridge is just altered with a ballpoint pen . They are great for practicing dot work. Or regular practice with speed and voltage
That kid is Little Punk People. He does interviews with metal musicians and he looks younger than he is I believe.
Yah hes 17 now
He was also in terrifier 2
Been watching Elliot since the beginning!
The SpongeBob and skull tattoo is insane and the best I ever seen 🔥
idk why but my tattoos heal REALLY fast like i had my nape done a week ago and it is already perfectly healed and as black as my soul
