  1. Why would anyone want this shit? Because she’s attractive? I’d rather let my toddler scrawl on me.

  2. some of them actually really work. I actually have a friend who let his toddler tattoo him. The art is similar.

  3. some of these are…ok. the vegan one at the end and the jaguar in on the shoulder…they are…ok.

    I’d not pay regular tattoo money for them…if i’d pay at all.

  4. Some of these are good, but not good enough to be on skin permanently. Someone mentioned temporary tattoos. That would be a good idea 😊

  5. She is doing this on purpose as a form of simplistic art. A person who knew nothing about art, design and form would be all over the place with their drawings, however while hew tattoos seem remedial and simplistic, the art and lineage itself follows simplistic rules of art drawing and form of the most basic…. she knows what she is doing and is marketing herself off of something more in-depth then she lets on. Points to her for creativity!

  6. I don’t doubt that tattoo enthusiasts travel long distances to get one of her tattoos.

  7. If you want me to take a dump in a box and write guarantee on it I will.I have spare time.
    Someone took the offer it appears.

  8. Love it! Totally tickled by all the hate too. It amazes me how upset people get by the choices of others. I say keep on challenging the aesthetics…keep on triggering people :D

  9. Inkmeplease: what hate? Some people just don’t like them. Where’s the hate? Chill, use proper words.

  10. If you check out her instagram you see that she does have some design skill. these drawing are a stylistic choice. i don´t like them, but to each their own, i suppose.

  11. You have no respect for the art. Plain and simple. If you intentionally screw up somebody’s skin for the sole purpose of setting a trend or some aesthetic bullshit, well think twice.

    Good drawings make good tattoos. Period. If you can’t draw, don’t tattoo.

    Screw that “to each is own” shit. ❤️

  12. Not bad in any sense of ” Art ” , At least none of them are Trump Bashing …( ducks )

  13. I love her style even though is not realistic.
    But the doodle is style is awesome.

    Some of comments here said that her artworks are trash. It’s not true.

    They’re all so cute

  14. people calling these shitty and saying she is “a disgrace for the real tattoo artists” and “intentionally screw(ing) up somebody’s skin for the sole purpose of setting a trend” is honestly bs. art is art. period. just because you dont like like it doesn’t make her any more or less talented. and clearly people are liking the tattoos or they wouldn’t have gotten them. i personally love some of these and would get them myself. calm down, people.

  15. What’s with the big gnarly looking teeth on Batman & Spiderman? Totally siuts the virus though.

  16. Some of these are brilliant! Her art may not be to everyone’s tastes, especially in such a permanent form, but to each their own. There are a few of these I’d consider having.

  17. He is a real tatttoo artist. His linework is impeccable. People actually wants tattoos like that. Their children probably drew itt and its unique! Well done

  18. C’mon these are those tattoos where someone gets their kids drawing inked… At least I hope these are … if not dammmn take the tat artists gun away

  19. I am a tattoo artist, have been one for 25 years. I have seen a huge paradigm shift in this direction. It’s called free market. I personally am not a fan of this but it’s dictated by the supply and demand market forces. If that’s what people want then so be it.
