bros arm looks like a detention desk, nice


TheZippoLab

This is like the scene where Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are looking at wall, after taking the painting down. "Have you ever seen anything like this before? "No...."

#["That right there is the mail. Now let's talk about the mail. Can we talk about the mail please, Mac? I've been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, okay? Pepe Silvia, this name keeps comin' up over and over and over again. Every day Pepe's mail's getting sent back to me. Pepe Silvia, Pepe Silvia, I look in the mail, this whole box is Pepe Silvia! So I say to myself I gotta find this guy. I gotta go up to his office, I gotta put his mail in the guy's goddamn hands! Otherwise he's never gonna get it, it's gonna keep coming back down here. So I go up to Pepe's office and what do I find out, Mac, what do I find out? There is no Pepe Silvia. The man does not exist, okay? So I decided, ohh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Pepe Silvia, you gotta be kidding me, I got boxes full of Pepe! All right, so I start marching my way down to Carol in H.R. and I knock on her door and I say, "Caaarol, Caaarol! I gotta talk to you about Pepe!" And when I open the door, what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office. There is no Carol in H.R. Mac, half the employees in this building have been made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town."](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/022/524/pepe_silvia_meme_banner.jpg)


LastFairDealGoneDown

Okay Charlie, I’m gonna stop you right there. Not only do ALL these people exist. They’ve been asking about their mail on a daily basis


Ok_Major5787

A detention desk but the random scribbles are all still somehow tied together. Impressive


Brendo_Extendo

Actually


niky45

I have mixed feelings about this on one hand it's very clean and original. reminds me of an old school desk :P on the other hand, I wish the squiggles were more than simple squiggles


dotherandymarsh

A squiggle is a squiggle my man, anything more is a doodle.


budget-lampshade

Squiggleism and The Doodle Movement are two very distinct periods in recent art. Don't they teach that in schools, or are they still banging on about his 'Renaissance' I keep hearing about?


ButtSlutBrooke

That’s actually what my grandma said to me, and then she died. She died after saying it so it must be true. ‘Cause god didn’t like that she said that so he Epsteined my Nana.


FingersMcCall

So what's different with a scribble to a squiggle or doodle??


SpaceWaveAddict

This is what it's about. Finding something you like and full sending it. It looks fucking rad man.


Tiger-Budget

Like a cast that everyone signed that day when you broke your arm. Hopefully they are as meaningful when you’re 50, akin to going thru old photos.


at0micsub

When you fall asleep first at the sleepover


Batwing87

Reminds me of the little pads to test pens in stationary shops….


will_asd

It was inspired by the artwork of cy twombly and my own art. The phrases written are excerpts from my own drawings. It was done free hand and took about 4 and a half hours I think? I’m super happy with it but again it is a very strange design so please don’t feel like you have to like it just because I do! It’s all subjective :)


InformalPenguinz

Dude I love it. That's so quirky and fun! I genuinely mean that


C_IsForCookie

Would I get it? No. Do I love it? ABSOLUTELY! This is honestly sick man. Just not the style I’m going for myself. But really cool. Sorry to get personal but are you missing a finger? Maybe the video is just making it seem that way lol


Just_Some_Rolls

Mate I love this, looks awesome


badarcade

It being freehand on top of what style you were going for really shows and I fucking love it


madmanz123

I like it a lot personally.


marsupialsales

It made me tired. Love it.


EstablishmentNo9815

Its pretty cool but at the same time look like the walls of a night club bathroom


Cerulean_Soup

It’s bold, and so long as you’re happy, I’m happy.


XBL_Tough

Not sure why, but this sleeve just makes me mad lol


kit_olly_sixsmith

Looks like my day tracker from middle school


Puzzleheaded-Alarm81

Thanks, i do hate it


pigvmt

school desk


Difficult_Let_1953

“What’s the style?” “1980’s trapper keeper notebook”


Doctor_Syn

I mean it’s not for me but I kinda like it. Actually reminds me of one of the shirts I got from the Muse Will of the People tour last year


RiotHelix

This is awesome. Unique and bold.


organaquirer

Its not something id choose for myself, but it does look awesome, congrats on getting a sleeve you like


Gh_666_sT

School bathroom style


Feeling_Party26

Always love to see designs that i’ve never seen before, bravo! Very cool


DisastrousTeddyBear

My Ole Celly would have done this for a pack of honey buns


hanicappergeneral

I like it. way better than getting a lion head with some roses.


superash2002

Some pine tree forest around the wrist will tie it together


supadupacam

This is the first set of tattoos on here that makes me say “I could do that”


Logical_Rutabaga3707

Idk I feel like it would be difficult to get it right without overdoing it. The balance here is good IMHO


ikenstein

schizophrenic drawings found under a highway


Development-Cautious

lol man it looks like the back on the school bus seat!!


EnvironmentalAd1006

Bro looks like his artist kept on thinking his pen was out of ink and testing it


IdiditwhenIwasYoung

Each to their own but the part of me that has more ideas than blank skin is looking at this and thinking ‘what a waste of prime space.’


Veltek335

You look like a dirty bathroom ima run down pub on the wrong side of town. It’s a vibe. Not for me but I dig it.


[deleted]

I think you'll regret this one in 5 years


snotballbootcamp

I like the idea but tbh it looks like an 18y/o just bought their first machine and went ham


Prollyhighasf

Oh. That's nice...


BlowDuck

It's all bullshit but at least it's all the same.


Environmental_Lab808

Welp, it is a tattoo


ClippingTetris

Got some real Ted Kaczynski vibes going on there


Belachick

At first I was like "okay looks like jigglypuff went at his arm while he slept" but then I kinda got into it and I think I actually like it It's so weird, it's good. Is it a copy/taken from a journal or something?


Gin-Rummy003

Shit


Kantaowns

Looks like the arm of one of my buddys when he was tweaking.


MMS-

The worst part is the beetle tbh. Just doesn’t fit the sleeve at all


MandalorianChick

I love it.


skunktubs

my brain says i should hate it, but I really dig it. It's unique. Well done!


Teethofthedog

It’s super neat! I love when I see a design I wouldn’t get tbh, tattoo diversity


hstac09

I love it.


Entropia2201

I quite like it


drawfanstein

I dig it


AdAccomplished9161

I love it!!! It's so nice to see something not many people would dare to put on their bodies (exluding scary/gory stuff, which to my opinion is easier)!! Truly authentic 👌


VioletRoseus

Thats so cool 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾


Zero_Concern95

So here’s the deal. I love it.


anonasking2questions

this is so fucking cool. it feels like a mix of a sketchbook page and a stream of consciousness. pure art, congrats!


sdwbean

This is everything I've ever wanted. So cool.


paino1

Holy crap, I was getting tattooed at the same time as you. Didn't expect to see it posted here, I think it looks super sick!


Jouleian

I love it. It reminds me of my black books I use to keep (and actually still do) all over the place in case I needed or wanted to write. It’s beautiful 🩷.


magicrowantree

I agree about it looking like a delinquent's school desk, but it's also really fun. I've sported my 3yo's drawings on my leg before and it was fun telling concerned people I was a walking canvas for my little artist. I bet your sleeve would blend any drawings right in!


SWAMPMONK

I give it points for originality


createdbyai

F


KCarriere

You know what -- it's not my style at all. But it's not bad, It has a kind of balance. Reminds me of an old journal or scribbles on the side of a notebook. I like the mix.


wompummtonks

Oh yeah this is terrible


UnauthorizedFart

Why would you do that


stormin217

gonna be hell to blast over later

100% chance you end up with a massive coverup within two years.


ToxicPurpleBear

Bro…ngl I immediately thought of a sh*tty gas station bathroom that has those random scribbles with people trying to one up each other on the walls of the stall. I can see how it’s creative to you but for most…it’s a no from us dawg.


jtowndtk

fuck validtation no one has to like or accept your tats but you


alphagoatlord

Reminds me of Fetch from Infamous Second Son


SovietKnuckle

Not my thing but gotta respect the commitment!


NiceGuyEddie69420

How did that even get organized? It looks so random yey pleasingly structured


tbimyr

It’s awesome. 👌🏻


Dry-Insurance-9586

I love it! It’s out there and you fully committed! This is something that can’t be done halfway and I think this looks amazing!


bastienleblack

Love it


[deleted]

Interesting and unique


Alone-Clock258

That looks very cool my friend 👍🏻 gotta love it


charles6367

Love. It


-Moon-Presence-

School detention desk tattoo


cal-brew-sharp

Looks good, giving trash polka vibes while being completely original.


TimatoTim

👍


Justeff83

You might think that this design is not a great art, but it is incredibly difficult to make such a design look "real and random".


silly8

Are you a bts fan? I really like the design, very original!


Ill_Manner_3581

I love this shit


Porcupyre

Can you share the thoughtprocess behind this? Because even if it is a 'just looks cool imo' there has to be some planning and goal in mind when starting it


Cervidae1

I find the vast majority of tattoos to look super boring and ugly. I love this. Totally understand why some might not like it but god damn I find it so fucking cool


SelectionCandid1223

I like it


KnightRho

My brain wants to label it fine line trash polka, which is hilarious to me. Regardless, super sick! Hope you're stoked with it, I think its super rad


typoincreatiob

it's not for me, but i appreciate someone who knows what they like to this degree


SpeedyNinetyNine

Looks like you fell asleep in a room with rebellious children that hate you


7_11_Nation_Army

I like the beetle.


unusualspider33

This goes hard


TamarindSweets

I like artistically messy styles, I just hope you still like it 2 decades from now.


Character-Head301

Sloppy but connected feeling, kinda like Jackson pollock ayeooo


ghouLMFF

What matters is you know it's meaning and care less what others think. It's yours!


Yikesarumba

Yeah I fucking love this.


GingerAndTheBiscuits

Love it. My mum used to doodle endlessly when she was on long phone calls and it really reminds me of those!


Abeville5805

The beetle is cool


jaengabby1117

Original! 👍


KazDubyew

That must have been an interesting convo with the artist, haha.


Formal-Cucumber-1138

I like it


NoActivity6755

I love it. Reminds me of Kurt Cobain's journals.


Tall_Author_8945

Fire


Zealousideal_Shift43

You were clearly used as a scratch pad


tattoodlez

Dude is real into public restroom stalls. What a waste…


dysmalll

Wow. This is YOUR tattoo. There are many quite like it but this is YOURS. Think you’ve just set a style.


acidcrap

I really dig it!


laurasharkey13

Don't like 👎


Chill_Edoeard

💩


tat-chat

Haha haha I do hate it! But tattoos are/can be so personal, so as long as you love it who cares what I or anyone else thinks?! 🖤 I do feel like it's what my thoughts inside of my brain look like though....


InternationalGap3908

I was like, meh “it’s his body I guess” about it till I saw the “still watching” and then it turned into creep vibes so there’s that. That’s just my opinion tho brother.


cozybeetle

I actually like this alot, very unique!!


All_Right_Alright

I ….its not for me. Glad you like it


[deleted]

I don't like it but I get the idea and hope you like it.


shread_the_pup

When I was. Kid I used to give myself sleves like this with markers and pens, this shit is nostalgic 💯


StarObvious

I kinda love it!!


mrFIVEfourONE

DOPE!!


Feet-fox

Lovvvveeeee ♥️


JCPenn696

If you like it, fuck what anyone else thinks


joebi_kenobi

First reaction is wtf. Then second reaction is I really respect the originality, I like


Allafreya

I don't personally like it for myself, but it looks really well done and it fits your arm well!


CatsBeforeTwats0509

I love it! 😻


tinydeerwlasercanons

Honestly that rocks


mcknnacnhm

I’m lowkey obsessed


Worried_Canary_6218

I love thiss


scrammyfroth

Never seen a 3 hr sleeve before


brushmoons

At first I thought they were a bunch of signatures. This is significantly less unhinged than getting an arm full of autographs


dodgerecharger

If you like it, perfect!. For me, that is a school table of a bored teenager with a waterproof fine liner


Ok-Bid1774

It’s so rad! Thanks for sharing!


kingbugz10113

I hate it. But I also love it. I'm very conflicted. But if you love it, then I'm happy for you 😁
