I like them, very detailed. But I am wondering how well they will hold up, especially those with little to no black ink. Red is gone at a different rate than white and greens, so you will have to keep up (wow.. that will be a very painstakingly precise task) or cover in some years. (I have lots of ink - I think the reds/pinks fade in about ten years, so all the detailed crosses will be blurs)

Anyone else get annoyed at artists only showing off fresh ink though? Fresh ink isn't representative of their actual work. It needs a good month or two to really see not just the artistic skill, but the needle control too.

I can’t imagine getting a tattoo, of any kind, ever. But, I think these are cute for the people who wear them. Skillful artistry.

Most of them look like the old fashioned 'patches' one used to buy and adhere to their clothes. I don't want something like that on my skin.

Love this!

There's a difference between embroidery and needlepoint... but other than that, most are exceptional!

Duda Lozano's work here stands head and shoulders above everyone else's. Just amazing work.

These are really pretty. Better take lots of photos with them while they can! because in a small number of years all of those fine, tiny (beautiful!) lines with no black outline are going to fade together and most of these will not look like embroidery tattoos anymore.

I think I would like to know who the artist is and from where.....

yes, nice. but wondering what they will look like over the years??

They are all amzing

The Disney patches are meh but the rest is actually pretty nice. Better than most tattoo trends I've seen here.

I think they look great! Maybe for my next tat...but i have to wonder how much more time something like this would add to the process? not real sure about some of them actually looking like appliques though--I'd have to do mine w/o the borders

Intruiging! Some great textures here, perfectly handled motives, too.

I’ve been a tattooist for 32 years and as much as I like all formats of the art this is a style that won’t age well no different to colour portrait art. Any tattoo that is not established with black outline and shading will not age well, reds, pinks, orange and yellow break down in the skin and will dissipate quicker than greens, blues and black, fine linework that is established with colour will come together in time as the pigment will migrate through the skin. But in saying all this if you like the style of tattoo go for it, it looks brilliant, all tattoos age as do we. Considering most tattooists charge by time this style would be very times taking due to detail so I say bring it on lol $$$ 😃

Just one word for it: WANT!!!

amazing art

Awesome!!! I have 13 tattoos and would absolutely love something like this!!! I fo embroidery and this would fit right in perfectly

Normally, I'm not a fan of tattoos, but these could make me change my mind. I've never seen anything like needlework tats and many of these are absolutely stunning. Thanks for the eye-opener.
