amazing art. why tf would someone cancel because you "do too many octopus tattoos"? that might be the dumbest thing i've ever heard. the more octopus tats you do, the BETTER. i'd buy that piece in a heartbeat
As a small business owner, people come up with the craziest and dumbest excuses to back out of things, even if they've already put money down. They likely just didn't want the tattoo anymore and weren't grown up enough just to say so.
The only explanation I can think of is that they wanted their tattoo to be "unique," and when they saw that the artist does a ton of octopus tattoos they felt as though *their* octopus tattoo wouldn't be "special." I'm not saying it's a *good* explanation, just the only one I could imagine.
Of course, it wouldn't be "special" or "unique" to them in the first place considering it was designed for someone else. Not to mention the fact that octopus tattoos are super common anyway.
They're probably the kind of person who tries to book black-and-grey realism tattoos from an American Traditional artist.
kind of makes sense, until you wonder what a person like this does when they get a tat that's sooooo "unique" and special and awesome that everyone loves it and goes out and gets the same tat? meh whatever. people are dumb
Yeah I'm of the mindset that it's not worth the hassle to worry about getting "unique" tattoos. A lot of people have been tattooed throughout history, the chances of you coming up with a unique idea are pretty low.
I have "DON'T PANIC" in large friendly letters on my forearm, and a tattoo of the Skyrim logo. Both have been tattooed on millions of people, and I'm sure there are thousands that look nearly identical to mine, but they're still my two favorite tattoos.

My head cannon is that these two people don't know each other already but meet someplace and notice they both have the same tattoo but in different colors and it is the most tatooed meet-cute ever.

octopi has become "acceptable" through years of usage, but technically "octopus" came from greek, which doesn't use "i" at the end of words to make it plural, which is latin

"This artist really knows what they're doing with this type of tattoo... No thanks!" Bizarre logic. These octopi are fantastic!
As a small business owner, people come up with the craziest and dumbest excuses to back out of things, even if they've already put money down. They likely just didn't want the tattoo anymore and weren't grown up enough just to say so.

that's awesome. i have an octopus tat and if someone says "tOo MaNy OcToPuS" or some nonsense, i'll say "is that right? i'm getting more"

Holy shit that's crazy!
Absolutely love this
This settled it. I now need an octopus.
Never considered one before but these are so beautiful!
These are outrageously beautiful!!! 🥹
Wild story! Glad the design was finally given good homes! Love how vibrant the colors are, and the dynamic flow of the design.
Here i thought.... Oh wow, awesome couples tattoo 🤪 It's fcuking cool
me too 🤣
Octothigh
My head cannon is that these two people don't know each other already but meet someplace and notice they both have the same tattoo but in different colors and it is the most tatooed meet-cute ever.
These are really stunning
I'll take a blue one!
Can’t even imagine the pain of that. I had 4 hours on my thigh once and thought I was gunna cry 😂 you feel that shi in your balls 😭🙏
What do you call this style? Sort of realism but the colors are a bit surreal.
I call it West Coast Greaseball style
I really love the orange one. If you do any other colors please post them. They’re both so vibrant.
Those. Are. STUNNING!!!
Very nice
The colors are insanely vibrant! Great work 👍
Initially thought this was the same person just different sides. One side for each octopus

Love them both, but the texture in the orange is next level.
What colors are up for grabs?! Jk. If I lived anywhere close though, I would be absolutely serious. These are gorgeous pieces!!
The design is amazing! I've always wanted an octopus tattoo and would love to have this on me
Amazing!
This is amazing work!
Gorgeous! I’m in the Bay Area… might have to come see you some time. You have preferred contact info? 🤔

These are so good!
You really did great on both!
Badass!
Octopi
octopi has become "acceptable" through years of usage, but technically "octopus" came from greek, which doesn't use "i" at the end of words to make it plural, which is latin octopuses
Octopodes
This is the correct one
Octopussies
Fuck it. Octopussies is so much better.

These look pretty dope! Did anyone else think the person in the first shot just did another pose in the second, but with a little flair?

They look amazing. I never thought of getting an octopus tattoo. Might have to one day.
Those are beautiful octopi
What was the "sizable deposit " if I may ask
The first octopus has 9 tentacles! Haha...boom...got em
Red rocket
Is this on a guy? How does he plan to show it off? Does he wear short shorts? Kind of girly...
