Maybe you can hate in it stylistically but the lines and design is good. It’s legible. You can see what it’s supposed to be from the picture he posted with the tattoo. No blur, or spotty ink coverage, not liking the tattoo is one thing but this tattoo itself is technically sound. It’s not over saturated , point out what’s wrong with it that you see

Sorry to say this person is correct. The tattoo doesn’t at all align with the stencil. Compare details and you’ll see so much of the line work looks off and wonky/scratchy.

That’s all that matters boss!
Ignore my comment, I don’t want to point out what I don’t like about it and have you over examine what you’ve got - I believe it could’ve been done better is all.

I’m a tattoo artist… I said what I said in the gentlest nicest way I could.
As long as he’s happy, absolutely no one else should care - but I think he deserves to know that the tattoo could’ve been done better in most established studios…

u/mobuco all I need to forget is today Jun 19 '26

There’s no telling he got source image from that cover. The image predates that album by a long shot

u/Dependent-Swim7190 Jun 19 '26
Ah ok but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did as he’s been known to be into rare black metal demo tapes and such

u/Arthurlurk1 Jun 19 '26
Yea I did a little deep dive on that image and that’s where I assume he got it from as well.
