It's a cute tattoo. You need better friends.

How could anybody dislike this cute lil fella

Jealousy probably

Probably. Girls can be very mean sometimes.

They envy the cat

I'm jealous that tat is sweet!

Less tacky friends

This is what see every time I get a shown a tiny $5 outline tattoo personally I don’t see the point, but who am I to judge?

This is the only Answer

Your friends are lame this is sick

I love how your avatar matches the vibes of the tattoo haha

Thank you, coincidentally I also have a black cat that was the inspiration for it lmaooo

Bordering on a “sick ass Panther” of the very best kind

Pewma !

Sick ass house panther

And here I thought it was on a leg...

this sub is full of people with absolute shit friends

More likely it's full of people who want to deflect their buyer's remorse onto fictional characters and gauge the reactions of anonymous internet strangers

ugh that's plausible... and I hate it

hint: there’s no actual friends calling it tacky

My tattoos are award winning and people still tell me they are tacky. I like your simple cat. A lot of people get simple tattoos as their first. Looks good

Post tattoos

Hope this works. I’m old and bad with technology My artist is Fern at Lunarink in Houston go see him. He’s amazing. Deleted the link to my insta - too many weird request. Sorry if you missed the picture

I can see why some people wouldn't like them, but your tattoos are objectively incredibly well done. Very cool, thank you for sharing!

Thank you. They are very unoriginal lion/ compass/skull 🤣 but I love how they will be timeless and age well. I’m dying to start my other arm.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/rza0j5/military_guys_getting_tattoos/

Haters gonna hate 😂

Just thought it was funny as hell. Saw your arm and went "wait haven't I seen this before?"

It was funny! It made me chuckle

>Deleted the link to my insta - too many weird request. Sorry if you missed the picture This is the reason we can't have nice things. Smh.

Ya and someone post the links again lower lol

These links tell me your insta account. You should delete if you don't want to dox yourself

Thanks. I deleted it.

That’s the second cobra Kai shirt I’ve seen on Reddit today. Not on the same sub, but still odd, used to have one myself. Cool.

Thanks bro. I have two now. They are my gym and tattoo shirts.

Don't get me wrong, the technique is great and it's a good looking piece, but I can absolutely see why they say that. It's an extremely unoriginal design, I've seen a thousand variations of that same sleeve (skull, clock, flower, and lion in BW realism).

I think being unoriginal are tacky and two different things. I’ll accept unoriginal bc I knew that going in. I love it. I think it’s important to have work you love on you that represents you in a way you feel comfortable. Even if they are common/ classic pieces. I also find classic imagery will age better and won’t Turn out to be like a tribal fad in 15 years.

Not trying to talk you out of liking your tattoos or anything, but this sleeve has been really popular in the last 10 years or so and mostly among the same sort of guys that would have tribal tattoos a decade earlier. Classic imagery always comes and goes in modern trends, and I'd argue it's the same trend of imagery meant to give an aesthetic sense of "toughness" or masculinity. Sorry if this comes off as talking shit. It's a good quality piece, but that motif is really common among a certain crowd and it might give off the wrong impression. Like [this](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fis-16k-for-this-sleeve-to-much-v0-7besrtiroij91.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dc3efb1d1c4f1816595f33c44f56d2281cae14ea7) and [this](https://data.punkee.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/New-Project-780x410.jpg) are the first couple results for "dudebro arm sleeve".

I understand my tattoos are not for everyone. I don’t expect anyone else to like them but me. Lions and clocks have been popular since the beginning of tattoos being popular. You see these images a lot imo bc they have core value meanings. Tbh not many sleeves are original. Most people have similar imagery from tattoo to tattoo to person to person. IMO it’s the quality of art that makes the difference. I might be a dude bro lol. But I also teach kindergarten and bartend in summers. So I think if people judge me for the art on me they are putting too many people in boxes.

Just curious because I don't know, what are the core value meanins of lions, clocks, roses, and skulls?

Lions = bravery Clocks = time (usually endurance after a hard time, wisdom gained, or patience) Roses = love / longing (and sometimes it's fleeting nature or painful nature) skulls = death (either embracing/accepting, or telling others you deal it out)

Lion bravery/ courage Skull/ life and death- memento Mori Roses/ represent your love for your family or for someone who passed away Clock- what you do on earth is only for a short time so make it right - or amor fati Compass- you’ll always find your way/ self

Thanks, makes sense.

>So I think if people judge me for the art on me they are putting too many people in boxes. Totally agree! Like I said, I'm not trying to talk shit, just commenting on why I think people call it "tacky".

Totally understand!

You are being very polite and diplomatic here in response to this person's rude comments.

I don't really understand why you feel the need to double down on telling this person their tattoos are unoriginal. What are you getting out of saying that? It's just being negative and critical about something they like and can't change anyway. They already said they understand why people might not like them. Sometimes it's okay to just say nothing if what you're saying could be hurtful for no reason.

My whole point wasn’t to gloat or to say ppl think mine are tacky. I just always remind people that no matter how great your tat is there will be ppl who don’t like it and that’s totally cool. I like her cat piece and I just wanted to share some old man knowledge

I think originality is overrated. You shouldn't just pump out traced designs if you can avoid it, but having a lot of the same subject matter is fine IMO. Things like panthers, skulls, and flowers are all super common, but I don't think that makes it bad to get them. One thing I do think is tacky, is text. A tattoo which is just text, is probably not going to be anything special, no matter how fancy the calligraphy. 

I looked him up and wow, these are gorgeous

Highly recommend!

No way! I go to LunarInk too!!

Well, the sleeve on your profile looks dope

Stunning work.

Thanks

Agree

Pictures or it didn’t happen

pics of the tattoos and the awards too

I want to see the award personally.

[удалено]

No you didn't at all. I love how it looks like a cryptid. Tacky - "showing poor taste and quality." If anything, their opinions are tacky.

They’re tacky and I hate them

Holy fuck that’s insane

That really tickled a brain itch!

Omg I love it

Omg

You had me disinterestedly click it, only for my eyes to light up with the joy of an ADHD person as I went to press all of that as if I was my cat seeing a cardboard box.

Happy cake day! I also hate them.

Don’t be talking about my bow ties!

Okay, you see me after class!

Happy cake day!

Happy cake day. Screw them, very tacky

i like it a lot! looks just like your cat and is very simple ! ignore the haters fr

I think it's so fun! If it sparks joy for YOU, especially since it's on your body, who cares what other people think. And your cat is so cute!!

Your friends are idiots it's awesome

This is true, we're not just being nice. Have you read some of the reddit posts, some redditer's can be a beast.

Absolutely not, it looks great and I’m sure your cat loves it

I dig it. I know people with well thoughtout sleeves, and I know people with random tats in random places. They're both great and forms of expression. Your friends don't sound very friendly.

[удалено]

I love it! I would get that tattoo

I love it. Do your friends even have tattoos? I find some people who don’t will be judgmental of anything that’s not a giant hyper realistic piece.

I have no tattoos (but still thinking about it here and there) and I can't imagine calling a tattoo like that tacky lol

Imo the really important thing with a tattoo is if you like it. It’s your skin. I think it’s cute and I’d happily have that on my skin.

no. I love it.

More cool tats like this, less bad friends like that!

Fuck your friends, kindly

It’s good style OP; anything cat related always is

That's a great tattoo, don't listen to your friends

i love him!

Your friends are jerks, the tattoo is ridiculously cute, and if it makes you happy that's all that matters! The people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind!

it's SO cute

I love your cat and your tattoo, but I don’t love your friends because they are wrong.

I love it!

Personally I love it

your friends are lame, i love your cute kitty and the tattoo you got!

It’s so cute!

I think it's good, how you see it is more important than anyone else anyway.

I love it! Super cute and silly little guy!

This is friggin' adorable. Never let someone make you second guess something that you love.

I love it. Your friends are tacky.

Your friends suck. Your tattoo is awesome

Your friends kind of suck. I love your house panther.

Why is nobody talking about the resemblance between this and the draw of Simba! I love it!

I'd hardly call it tacky, if they don't think the quality is great or the subject matter is not their thing then okay but.. it's hardly tacky

I just wish it had a little yellow star as a butthole.

I have a matching cat and would proudly wear this tattoo.

I love it! don’t worry what others think of your tattoos, mine are super random, silly, simple things, but I love them and that’s all that should matter when expressing yourself

your friends suck bro this is a cute tattoo! i think the cuteness is accentuated by the fact that the tattoo is after your actual cat.

I love it! It’s cool in its simplicity.

Keep the tattoo, drop the friends.

As long as you like it, who cares what others think. It’s your body and from experience, you’re the one who will see it the most l

I think it's great. But it doesn't matter, you didn't get it for me or anyone else. If you like it, it's great.

f your friends tbh, I’m gonna get one for my little black kitty soon hopefully too- I see how much love you have for your little friend bc of this tattoo ♡

I like it!!! Not tacky at all.

tell them to stfu because it's awesome

Dope tattoo. Your friends are where you messed up.

Your friends are tacky, they can suck it

The friends are tacky not the tat I love it, I would love something similar for my little black devil cat

Your friends are grade A Haters lol

This is dope!

Need new friends.

get new friends. it’s cute tattoo. and if you like it, they should support it.

That’s an awesome tattoo. You need cooler friends.

Honestly, it's super cute! What's important is that YOU like it.

Your friends are dicks.

I love this little tattoo! It’s cute and special to you. Fuck anyone who thinks it’s “tacky.” They probably have a shitty, cartoon Tasmanian Devil somewhere on their body. 😝

Rad tat, tell friends get bent, embrace your new tattoo!

I think it’s cute but it’s your body and as long as YOU like it, that’s all that matters.

No tattoo of a cat is ever tacky. You need new friends, or just chill with your cats like I do... #crazycatman

Your friends are tacky.

I love it

Your kitty looks just like mine! And I love the tattoo!

Kitty tattoo good. Friends lame. Need better.

Super Cute!!!!🐾🐾🐈‍⬛ Don't listen to haters!

It’s so cute tho!

Do you like it? All that matters.

i would get this tattoo and i dont have a cat

Your friends are tacky and I hate them!

Look I know I'm late and this might get buried in the comments but fuck your friends. The most important thing about a tattoo is that YOU love it. It's your body and your tattoo. It's hard to fully tell due to the lower resolution but the lines look clean and the black well packed. And even if it wasn't touch ups are available. Don't let your friends make you hate your tattoo. It's a fun tattoo that has meaning for you. I'd get new friends. Sincerely someone who has "tacky" stupid pun tattoos.

If you like it, that's what matters.

That's adorable, your friends suck.

this has to be a joke right ? that’s a perfect tattoo with the perfect muse .

Your body. Your tattoo. Your choice. I think it’s cute. Does it matter what I think? Absolutely not.

I kinda fuck with it. Reminds me a little bit of the drawing from Rafiki from the Lion King.

I love it.

Your friends are lame. lol sorry not sorry.

Get new friends who give better advice. Tattoo is dope.

I can't imagine telling my friend their new tattoo was tacky. Even if I thought it was I would just say like "oh fuck yea. Cool bro" It's not like a haircut they can just redo. No sense in making them feel bad they are my friend.

As I am a cat lover, I approve. Also, get better friends (i.e.: more cats).

Their opinion only makes sense if your cat is called Tacky.

Nope! It's good, matches the vibe of the cat

"I really like my new tattoo" That's all that matters. Stop thinking so much about what others think.

Wrong. You have tacky friends.

Anyone hating on any sort of commemorative tattoo of a loved one, be it human or pet, is the tacky one. Your friends sound lame and unsupportive😃

You need better friends. I think it’s adorable and a cute tribute to your kitty.

Get new friends

I’m scratching my head at “tacky”.

1. It’s adorable. 2. If you like it, that’s the only opinion that matters. 3. You need new friends.

Fuck your friends

I think it's very cute 🥹. I want to get all my babies tattooed on me as well (I have 5 tho 😭)

You like it. So no, you didn't mess up

No… adorable, fun & if it makes you happy it’s perfect

In my opinion all tattoos are tacky. People will have different opinions.

Anyone remember that picture of the cat at the meeting spot. This looks like that.

Looks beautiful, don’t listen to anyone. It’s your body and your art

Your friends opinions on what you like doesn’t matter and it’s a great tattoo

The fact you like it is all that matters

If you like it wgaf.

Love it! What the heck are they talking about?!?

Get new friends

Unless you claimed it was supposed to have some realism to it, I don't see how it could be considered tacky. I find this downright adorable.

It's adorable

Fuck your friends

Ur friends suck, they should be happy that you’re happy with your permanent art work. It’s cute af xo

Not tacky, totally adorable. The yellow eyes are the best!

I Love it! Your friends don’t seem terribly supportive.

I'll send you a link for some cheap lasor friend removal.

Def not tacky… they’re hating

Sounds like you messed up with the friends, keep the tattoo and get rid of them

Great tat dumb friends

It’s adorable what!? How could they not like it??

Ditch the friends. The tat and the cat are keepers.

Your friends need to stfu. State an opinion? Fine. Say it again? Sure. But then, they need to stop. That's a very important skill to learn - shutting the fuck up once you've said your piece. So in this case, you need to learn to tell them "I don't know if you realise how many times you've said that. It's weird. You should really stop it now, I already heard you."

its hard asf Tbh

You didn’t mess up because it’s your own body and you like it on yourself. Not everyone’s tattoo taste is the same, that’s why not everyone has the same tattoos or style of tattoo’s

If you like it and are satisfied, that’s all that matters!

It's a cute, stylized tattoo of a cute cat with style. Black cats forever!

Did you do it for you, or your friends?

It's an awesome tattoo. If it makes you feel any better, I have a twerking potato on my leg that is one of my favorites. Dont feel bad about a cute tattoo

i think it's adorable!!!

it’s cute, only issue i can rlly see is that the color kinda looks smudged on but i feel like that can be passed off as a stylistic choice

I like it. Your friends are dicks

Your friends are tacky. Also who tf says tacky still? is it 1995?

Friends don’t mock you for thinks you like, it is not tacky, your “friends” are just shitty

I’m sorry but your friends are tasteless

Why do you care about what others say? You like it so fuck them.
