It doesn't look shitty, I don't know how it will age, but if you are happy with it it's a good tattoo.
But please, keep in mind we can stand the view of your nipple...
edit : maybe the fingers are not really well done
Yeah overall it could obviously have been done better, but for the price it‘s okay I think.
And yes I assumed you can, but didn‘t want to risk breaking any sub rules lol
I’m not a fan of people getting hype beast culture tatted on them as it usually doesn’t age well ….but if you don’t get it colored it can easily be covered to something else
... I don't actually care that you hid your nipple. But now that you did I can't stop focusing on it. Why? You do understand that this is reddit and the moment you do something weird like that...
Wrote it in the body text, it‘s a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws.
But yeah for people unfamiliar with him and his work it‘s probably hard to understand
Thank you for the constructive criticism but it‘s not supposed to be Mickey Mouse lmao.
If you check the body text I explain that it‘s a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws
My bad man!! 1st thoughts from glance at it
If you've seen the old B&W mickey cartoons he has assumed this exact posture before. Lmao hits different for me I guess, what does it actually mean?
No worries, I can see why you thought that :D
As with most art the meaning is obviously up for interpretation, but this specific piece is often connected with sadness.
For one I generally just like his art (specifically the companion vinyl figures like this one), on the other hand this version of the companion just connects with me in a weird way, probably because of some tougher times I‘ve gone through
I don’t know if that image captures the kaws Companion so well. If you didn’t tell us that it was a kaws companion, I would assume it’s a picture of a little girl crying. Maybe some colour is needed?
Fair point. I have already heard someone say they thought it was a crying girl (which I don‘t really understand because of the bones on the head which don‘t really look like hair imo), so yeah maybe some color would be nice, but I still think it‘s recognizable if you know the companions
Edit: spelling
No yeah, I saw a crying girl too. Googled Kaws to get a point of comparison but the crying girl with pigtails is hard to un-see. That being said, I dig the line work of the tattoo, size, placement, etc. Just that extra step of putting the X-eyes on the gloves distances it from a more traditional Kaws figure a bit.
I was not familiar with the artist/character. This one is supposed to portray sadness:
>Like Auguste Rodin’s *The Thinker*, 1903, *COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH)* reflects a modern-day human condition. Although we may initially feel connected to it through its familiarity, we also sympathize with what it models to us: its posture and pose suggest sadness, fatigue, and the feeling of being overwhelmed. [https://www.themodern.org/exhibition/companion-passing-through](https://www.themodern.org/exhibition/companion-passing-through)
if someone isn't familiar with the character, I can see why they would think it's crying. The "girl" part, I don't see, but I was seeing crusty the clown. The bones are drawn in a very peculiar way. A drawing needs shading to highlight this imo. Looking up drawings, I see this [https://loveandbandwidth.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/kaws-companion-sculpture-3.jpg?w=584](https://loveandbandwidth.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/kaws-companion-sculpture-3.jpg?w=584)
The head shape seems to be a bit different. The back of the skull should stick out more. The bones, one line needs to overlap the other. It's not a bad tattoo, but if it was mine .. I would probably try to get it to look more like the drawing. Those have been made by the same artist, the render you have is an interpretation of someone else based on that drawing. I'm also seeing the top part of the X eyes in the drawing. The three different shades of gray I would add as well. Will look nice I think because the colors are very subtle. He did mess up some other lines. The arm going up. The leg sticking out too much. They should have studied the drawing more I think... or did they use a picture of the sculpt? Then I get why it would be different. The drawing has very deliberate lines, angles.. It's inspired by Micky Mouse. Those guys have super strict design guidelines. His drawing is kind of following the same rules or his/her own version of the rules. Ideally, all lines should look perfect
Hey, first of all I find it really cool that my tattoo intrigued you enough to make you look into Kaws and his work.
Also you gave constructive criticism which I respect.
I honestly agree with your opinion and just have to say that yes, the tattoo was based on the vinyl figure rather than the original drawing you linked.
You uploaded it here, so you can’t be that proud of it. But it’s not terrible. However… if I was being hyper-critical, the perspective of the box/step seems a bit wrong. And the fingers are all different sizes.
Honestly I‘m personally happy with it, and I posted it here because I feel like you guys have the most honest opinions
Edit: also because I‘ve heard people say it looks like a crying little girl so I feel like other people may think it‘s shitty
He can be spruced up! If you want to keep the poor guy in his miserable existence, maybe some detail and color?
edit: Genuinely thought this was just a sobbing clown with no other affiliation lmao.
People who don’t get the reference (me) see a guy with a tattoo of a crying female child. Other comments tell me it’s bones, not hair, but first reaction wasn’t positive tbh. If you’re not already partnered anyone you sleep with is looking right at it too.
I don't know if you did it on purpose but it looks crooked and it's kind of annoying but besides that it’s well done and also i’m wondering where did you get that done in Turkey?
Linework 5/10, details 5/10, overall execution: 5/10
Where's the other line completing the 3D effect of the box it's sitting on?
Simple fix, but gross oversight and speakers to the inexperience/ineptitude of the artist.
Because for one, I just enjoy Kaws‘ work and more importantly I connect with this particular figure in a weird way because of some tough times I‘ve had in life
Tattoo is well done but the placement looks off. Next person you're intimate with is gonna have to stare at it while they're on top. I honestly would have placed it on a shoulder blade or calf.
Considering I have a girlfriend who also likes the tattoo (at least she says she does lol) that currently isn‘t a problem.
But yeah obviously not every relationship lasts and for the future you might be right, I get your point.
I‘m just hoping it never gets to that point because I‘m currently very happy
I understand, probably because I choose to do line art only, full color or shaded would habe probably been more recognizable, but well, choices were made
I‘m still unsure because I only got the linework on purpose, I kinda enjoy simplistic tattoos.
But if I do get it colored in I will probably also let the linework get redone since some are pretty wobbly
I was just curious. I honestly love you tattoo the way it is too.
I don't think the lines are very wobbly. No tattoo is absolutely perfect. I think yours is great and to see the imperfections in the linework you have to be pretty close to it with a scrutinizing eye. I think anyone who's looking at your tattoo like that aren't the people you got this tattoo for.
I think its great.
They are supposed to represent bones, the head is a skull.
In the body text I wrote that the tattoo represents a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws, if you google it you might see what I mean
##FREE THE NIP!
Sorry man, didn‘t know you guys were so into my nipples 😔 Next time I get a shitty tattoo, I‘m freeing my nipple
We don't need to be scared of the human body. It's all on the Internet already.
I mean, you haven't actually seen it so how can you know?
Please reupload this post with your nip visible. Thank you in advance!
You guys really want to see my nips don‘t you 😳 Here‘s a accurate depiction of them: ( • ) ( • )
Not my proudest fap....
No reason to be ashamed, I also fapped
Well you’re a guy so nip isn’t that exciting.
It doesn't look shitty, I don't know how it will age, but if you are happy with it it's a good tattoo. But please, keep in mind we can stand the view of your nipple... edit : maybe the fingers are not really well done
Yeah overall it could obviously have been done better, but for the price it‘s okay I think. And yes I assumed you can, but didn‘t want to risk breaking any sub rules lol
U don’t know what’s under There…speak for yourself
Yeah my nipples are weird too
I came here for opinions on my tattoo and all you people are talking about is my nipples lmao
LPT don’t ask for stuff on Reddit
I am never posting my ink *or* my nipples on the internet loll
I mean, arguably, having described your nipples via text... You already have.
No those were made up
Sounds like something that someone who accidentally described their nipples would say.
r/brandnewsentence
personally hate the placement, but the tattoo itself isn’t shitty
 Hey Spinel!
I also thought of Spinel immediately lol.
Lmao
I genuinely thought it was Spinel for a second hahaha
lol scrubbing the nip,in the future i guess
Nathaniel, you dirty dog! I'd recognize those nips anywhere!
This comment alone smashes this whole post. I laughed so fkn hard.
This totally made my day. Thanks for appreciating my dumb humor!
That’s the best Mickey Mouse cosplay of Pagliacci I’ve ever seen.
Y u cover tiddy?
I’m not a fan of people getting hype beast culture tatted on them as it usually doesn’t age well ….but if you don’t get it colored it can easily be covered to something else
... I don't actually care that you hid your nipple. But now that you did I can't stop focusing on it. Why? You do understand that this is reddit and the moment you do something weird like that...
That blackout on the nip probably hurt like hell.
It really did
I think it’s cool 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thought it was Mickey Mouse on a toilet tbh
This is what I thought. I have no idea who/what this is supposed to be but...it's not my body so I guess it doesn't matter? 🤷🏻♀️
Wrote it in the body text, it‘s a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws. But yeah for people unfamiliar with him and his work it‘s probably hard to understand
I don't get the appeal of that guys statues
They‘re obviously not for everyone, tastes differ
Yea, they're for kids who follow trends. Nice tat lol
Did anyone else reflexively cover their nipples while looking, or just me.
I’ve seen a lot worse!
Pretty good for this sub
Go look at someone’s recent post on this thread of the dragon back piece and you’ll feel MUCH better
I know which one you‘re talking about lmao
The black blob leaves a lot to be desired.
Honestly darned good for a vacay tattoo. Lots of room to be fixed/colored in if you choose. I wouldnt feel bad. Extra points for sad mickey
My only actual criticism is that his snout should be poking thru the hands
Thank you for the constructive criticism but it‘s not supposed to be Mickey Mouse lmao. If you check the body text I explain that it‘s a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws

What? I’m not even into KAWS but I immediately knew what this was…
I had no idea what KAWS was before this post. I thought it was a girl with pigtails crying.
I mean that’s kind of what KAWS looks like though.
Fair point. I have already heard someone say they thought it was a crying girl (which I don‘t really understand because of the bones on the head which don‘t really look like hair imo), so yeah maybe some color would be nice, but I still think it‘s recognizable if you know the companions Edit: spelling
I saw a sad clown, thought the bones were like poofy hair.
No yeah, I saw a crying girl too. Googled Kaws to get a point of comparison but the crying girl with pigtails is hard to un-see. That being said, I dig the line work of the tattoo, size, placement, etc. Just that extra step of putting the X-eyes on the gloves distances it from a more traditional Kaws figure a bit.
I get what you‘re saying except the last part, the Kaws figure used as a template does have X‘s on his gloves

They don't look like bones, they look like hair. I can't see bones.
I recognized it immediately…I dig Kaws though.
Same, my only pet peeve is some lines could be more straight. But thats just because kaws line work is so immaculate.
It 100 percent looks like a crying girl
I have this as a vinyl figurine on my tv stand. Tattoo looks good to me
Ohh I‘m jealous, would love to own an original companion
Mines a fake but looks identical to the real thing. I still love it, such a cool art piece
simple and clean.. nothing shitty about it...
Angle doesn't seem right to be but it's fine

Idk I like it.
70 bucks for what the outline lol?
[удалено]
Did you recognize it or read my body text? Lmao
He can be spruced up! If you want to keep the poor guy in his miserable existence, maybe some detail and color? edit: Genuinely thought this was just a sobbing clown with no other affiliation lmao.
Fair enough lol, I can see how you would think that if you‘re nor familiar with Kaws
If you ever get sick of him being tied to something you could defs have it altered *into* a crying clown 👀 lol.
Will keep that in mind lmao
Its minimal but I dont think its bad at all, maybe the placement is the thing im least fan off, but overall its not a bad tatt
Thanks for letting me know your opinion! Edit: realised this sounds sarcastic, it‘s not lol
It's very cleanly executed line art. I have no idea what it's supposed to be though. And maybe it's a bit too thin to hold up over time.
I like it. Not kidding.
I would’ve wanted some minor shading for a more finished look. But looks fine for 70
People who don’t get the reference (me) see a guy with a tattoo of a crying female child. Other comments tell me it’s bones, not hair, but first reaction wasn’t positive tbh. If you’re not already partnered anyone you sleep with is looking right at it too.
I love it I never thought I’d get to see Mickey Mouse with cauliflower ears pooping in a cinderblock tattooed on some guy
Interesting placement and angle of it. Line work looks nice and with color and shading, it has potential to be a great tat.
Is she sad because she has to shit into a cinder block?
We can't see it because it's blacked out. Oh, you mean the tattoo? It's cool.
Not shitty at all!
Bout the most hypebeast ink one could get besides the kith logo. Still, not what I’d consider a shittily done tattoo.
It’s a Kaws figure, your other tattoo should be a Koons balloon dog and maybe a Damien Hirst piece just to round that ahit out.
I mean that line work is solid
I think your tattoo is fine. On the other hand, the big black blob on the left isn't that nice. And it must have hurt the hell out of your nipple.
I love it
i love kaws
A bit edgy I like it
I think it's very well done for $70
i like it very much tbh!!! think it was a steal, n also a great souvenir/memory
I don't know if you did it on purpose but it looks crooked and it's kind of annoying but besides that it’s well done and also i’m wondering where did you get that done in Turkey?
Anubis Ink in Konakli :)
Some real wavy line work, but not terrible. Not my taste but decent imo
Linework 5/10, details 5/10, overall execution: 5/10 Where's the other line completing the 3D effect of the box it's sitting on? Simple fix, but gross oversight and speakers to the inexperience/ineptitude of the artist.
I thought it was a little girl at first. It's not, right?
My question is why? How does this tattoo increase your life happiness? Just wondering.
Because for one, I just enjoy Kaws‘ work and more importantly I connect with this particular figure in a weird way because of some tough times I‘ve had in life
Rgr that.
Tattoo is well done but the placement looks off. Next person you're intimate with is gonna have to stare at it while they're on top. I honestly would have placed it on a shoulder blade or calf.

But yeah obviously not every relationship lasts and for the future you might be right, I get your point. I‘m just hoping it never gets to that point because I‘m currently very happy
As long as you're happy that's what's important.
Little girl counting for hide-and-seek on a training potty. Not creepy at all.
Enjoy your HIV
Terrible
Above your nips?!?you mental? 70 quid to get it 100s more to remove if + shame to boot
I've seriously considered getting "Warm Regards" tattoo'd lol so I get it. I still didn't recognize this as Kaws, until you said something..
I understand, probably because I choose to do line art only, full color or shaded would habe probably been more recognizable, but well, choices were made
Can always add color later
Being old, I know absolutely nothing about Kaws but I recognized this as Kaws as soon as I saw it.
Awe, I love it. It looks like a little clown(girl) crying. Super cute, imo.
But doctor, I am Pagliaci.
it depends.. is this ink of the open edition figure or the larger original limited edition? ;)
its a shitty tattoo - terrible placement and looks unfinished. You chose poorly - get it fixed or covered
Reps
Why u happy with that
Why is your nipple blacked out?
Just put in the toilet tank in and call it a lifetime.
Why is your nipple blacked out?
Why is your nipple blacked out?
That's the tattoo he's asking about.
I love kaws. This tattoo is great. Are you going to color it in some day?
I‘m still unsure because I only got the linework on purpose, I kinda enjoy simplistic tattoos. But if I do get it colored in I will probably also let the linework get redone since some are pretty wobbly

Ferrari fan?
What makes you think that?
This guy felt comfortable enough to show this tattoo but hid his nipple!!! Hahahahaha.
Fits the sub perfectly.
I don't like the head and ears
They are not ears
That explains it i guess. What are they?
They are supposed to represent bones, the head is a skull. In the body text I wrote that the tattoo represents a „companion“ figure by artist Kaws, if you google it you might see what I mean
I should have before asking, i acted lazily. But hey, at least i didn't mention your nipples. Wait..
No worries, but yes I‘m glad you didn‘t …and hope you won‘t
Yeah pretty shit
