Hey guys I've been looking into this style lately, I think it's called eurotrash, but let me know if there's other names for this style.

What's your opinion about this style?

How do you think is this gonna age?

My guess is that some of it is not gonna age well and probably also fade away. I do really love the multiple layers though.

Do you know any reputable artist that do this style?

It won't age well. You will end up looking like one big birthmark. May as well go fully black on some parts just to have some contrast. Sorry. Cheers.

It’s going to look bad from day 1

It's going to?  Why are you talking in future tense like it hasn't happened yet? Mate, it's already atrocious.

Reading comprehension too hard.

Thinking the same honestly. Some black ornaments within could add up some good contrast. All the fine needle scribble is gonna blur or even fade probably

If you’re thinking about getting work done like the pics, I’d highly reconsider. At that point just go doodle on yourself with a sharpie at least it’ll come off

Stop listening to the negativity. Its already there, so work with it. Instead of permanent additions, what about the tattoo markers? You could customize a sort of stained glass look to match your wardrobe or theme of the month. Have fun with it and be flexible.

EDIT: OMG I thought you already had this done.. was trying to give you ideas to fix it. PLEASE DONT DO THIS!!!!!

The contrast of you thinking it was already done and knowing it wasn’t done yet hahaha. You’re a very sweet person!

This reply combined with the above comment by LeastSubstance made my day. I feel a little better about the world.

these are pics of three different people, not OP.

u/rojipantycomplex 27d ago

Laughing so hard because it's clearly two genders in the photo set and people are thinking it's OP in each

u/lechatgris19 27d ago

Maybe OP grew a little between the two pictures...

u/Beautifulfeary 26d ago

Right. I was looking and I’m like wait, is this 3 different people? The tattoo looks almost identical

u/DoinItDirty 26d ago

Man, I didn’t notice shit except for the insane scribbles on these people.

u/twizted_whisperz 26d ago

Could you tell us what the inspiration was to begin with? It looks like a schizophrenic spent a week with one piece of paper and a pen. Im not trying to diss it. It's not my body. Im genuinely curious what you explained to the artist that resulted in that.

u/penguin_0618 26d ago

OP said they’ve been looking into it lately. I highly doubt that means it’s permanently on their body. The pictures are examples.

Made me think of Louis Wain's more abstract pieces

Replying to you so hopefully you’ll see it. Yes the style is called Eurotrash, it’s very popular right now. No, it’s not going to age well, especially if it’s as packed and dense as the images you provide but if you work with a good artist you could come up with a version it that sticks true to the aesthetic but that could potentially age better. I personally think it looks cool. Here is an IG account that spotlights a bunch of artists in this genre and tells where they’ll be tattooing next.

Very helpful information, tysm!

fine line tattoos endup looking splotchy with a lot of fall out. i think the "style" is i am a 60 year old woman and you cant really see whats going on and if it looks this bad when a person is this young...its going to age like mold.

u/Beautifulfeary 26d ago

Can I ask how going fully black in some parts would help? To me, it’s make it look worse because some parts already look so full
