I’m Pooh Surrounded By My Friends, Eeyore Is My Depression. With Me But No Longer Central

Sam Standerwick (Submission author) 3 years ago
Thank you. My tattoo artist based it on the original Pooh Sticks illustration but with the extra characters and in the order I wanted them. She's super talented!

What a lovely image with such meaning! It's a treasure! This is coming from a woman who has lived with the ups & downs of clinical depression for 30 years.
Sam Standerwick (Submission author) 3 years ago
The original I love but doesn’t have Tigger or Eeyore so asked my artist to add them. I bet your grandma loved your water colour. I think anyone who read the books with the original illustrations has played Pooh Sticks as a child with an older relative do this brings back happy memories.

This one! Your tattoo artist is a true artist. To get this correctly done without messing up a line by accident, is hard... You've got a very special tattoo indeed.
Darth Daddy (Submission author) 3 years ago
Thank you . . . it is very special to me and my wife. She got a turtle themed one as well. Very precious to us.

Thanks! The tattoo artist was a big fan of the movie too, so he put a little bit of extra effort on it.

I love it, but sadly a bee stung me few days after this and had a mild alergic reactio, so it didn't heal well and needs some retouching. Either way I'm happy with it.

What were you covering up, if you don't mind me asking? The Koi fish looks pretty cool.
Nicola Mawson (Submission author) 3 years ago
First a heart outline with an A (done for a rather random, drunk reason), then a feather that was badly done. Tried to do a friend a favour and use him. Glad you like (and can see) my Koi

Thanks! It's one of my favorite ones that I have ;) Next to this one over got the heads of one of my deceased dogs and one of my cats, with the first capital letter of all our other animals worked in there, got a lovely ocelated lizard with it's tail trailing around my pulse, a colorful fantasy Phoenix as a cover-up for a smaller unicorn on my back and a shoulder to cleavage to shoulder floral piece with butterflies, also as a cover-up ;) Seeing pictures of myself pre-tattoos, is looking at me naked XD

That sounds amazing! I‘ll get a tattoo in the memory of my most beloved cat, too. I have a scar on my arm from when I had to defend this sweet boy from a very nasty stray. I don‘t want that scar to be covered, but somehow included in a fineline version of my cat or just the first letter of his name.

So many 'legit' tattoo artists hate watercolor tats but I can't help it- i think they're so beautiful. I almost don't care that they might not last as long.

You know there’s artists out there that know how to color inside the lines, right?
Bubbles and sparks (Submission author) 3 years ago
This, dear panda, is how it's upposed to be ;) watercolorsplash. Now I know there are different styles in different countries, but in the Netherlands and also in Spain where I live now, this is a why of tattooing ;)

It’s written in a messy script, and the placement of it makes it change from long and skinny to short and fat depending how I move my arm. These represent that beauty isn’t perfection and isn’t just one single thing.

Love it. I'm 50 and still have my "bear". He was a Pooh bear in the beginning, most of his face is gone, his tshirt almost worn through. He sits quietly on my bedside table, and as long as I know he is there I know I'll be ok.

This tatt will be a week old come tomorrow. I'm a big fan of mecha anime, especially Gundam, so I wanted this piece for a little while. There's another horn, but the angle of the picture in relation to my forearm makes it hard to get the whole piece in one pic.

As people begin to show off their recent tattoo acquisitions, it's important to remember the lessons learned from past experiences. Sometimes, despite best efforts, that fresh piece might not age well, or you might simply change your mind. When that happens, transforming your previous artwork into something new and meaningful is a fantastic option.
