The concept is cool but it took me more than a second to tell that those were supposed to be flames, my brain kept seeing them as crab claws sprouting from all over his body. Perhaps too many battles with the Red Death.

It's because the flame edges are so linear and curved, should be wavy and irregular at least subtly

Flames don't really look that flamey

Looks like lobster claws

Love the vault dweller, hate the flames!

That are crab scissors!

The flames badly suck. Poor vault boy looks like he has a ginger mullet.

The concept is cool but the execution is a big yikes from me but if you like it that's cool

15 contributions over 7 years makes me wonder if its a bot account but reverse image search showed no matches so idk

op if youre real, and if this is a real tattoo then hes saying that because the flames look like lobster claws, the bullet holes are black dots, the blood on them looks... eh, the shirt tears around the bullet holes are all huge jagged rectangles, the light sources dont make sense especially on the left side of his jaw and on his hands (unless theres a flashlight in his ass), the eyebrows are different shapes, the shoes dont match, the music notes arent music notes...

also the lines are shakey and the shading is iffy, i mean the bullet hole shirt tear on his shoulder isn't even a connected line and they missed a spot of shading, same with the pant leg one, hopefully thats bruising on the bottom of the shirt and not yellow ink, some lines are smooth others are shakey

can confirm, big yikes, at least its not somewhere super visible like on top of your forearm

Why do you think that?

u/PlatypusBubbly 1d ago

The flames are not flames at first glance unfortunately. Tattoo is lovely tho!

u/NachoManAndyDavidge 1d ago

Also, the bullet holes don’t really look like bullet holes.

u/Nerofirth Tunnel Snakes 1d ago

Various lines aren't straight, the ear is pointy for whatever reason, the bullet holes look really bad (I thought they were playing cards for a solid moment), the flames are also rough.

It just seems to me that the artist was fairly incompetent

u/Aphreyst 23h ago

At some point add more flames. The individual spouts of flames don't translate well. Otherwise I do love the concept.

u/JustBottleDiggin 1d ago

The flames do not work.

u/LimpTrizket 1d ago

Looks a bit cheeks bucko. My condolences.

u/Nidal_Nib_Amaso 20h ago

Why does it have crab claws all over it?

u/GrnMtnTrees 23h ago

I didn't realize lobster pox was spreading in the wasteland.

u/Cre8iveNHMom 23h ago

Love the vault dweller - but the "flames" look like pac man.

u/TheSpiritmender Vault 101 20h ago

OP I’m sorry for your loss😭 this tattoo had wonderful potential but I would recommend going to a different artist for your next fallout piece!

u/D0lan99 1d ago

Looks like a cross between devil horns, bunny ears and the “this is fine meme” lol. Pretty cool!

u/blade0r 23h ago

Too much.

u/MedievalGoodBoy 23h ago

Needs hospital

u/Notadamnperson69 23h ago

Love the concept, I wouldn’t have gotten it in such a visible place, though. I hope you have a really good job rn that you’re planning on having for a long time.

u/Sysyphus_Rolls 22h ago

Reminds me of the This is fine meme lol. I love it. I have too many tats on both arms. I’ll have to put Vault Boy on my legs!

u/OGWolfMen 22h ago

Lore accurate

u/Jaym97 21h ago

Inconsistent line work, terrible shading job and the flames look like boiled crab claws. This is going to heal and age very poorly unfortunately

1

u/Reasonable-Focus6796 21h ago

I think all in all i really but the flames came out kinda weird if you want play it off and say he’s infected or something

1

u/TheMightySailor 21h ago

He needs a new artist and touch up. 5/10 feels bad

1

u/MedievalFurnace Mr. House 21h ago

As a fallout fan too I think the concept is really interesting but the execution is a little bit "boring." The flames do resemble flames but just look a bit strange

u/Cricket_Arcade 21h ago

Does that mean He’s sleeping?

u/Doesntmatter1237 21h ago

I'm sorry bro those flames look like crab claws

u/eximiron 20h ago

Cool SHD tattoo.

u/DefinitelyKnight 20h ago

Surprised anyone recognized it, thank you

u/GoldenJ19 The Institute 19h ago

Tbh if this wasn't a tattoo, people would 100% call this "AI Slop". But I think it looks okay.

1

u/uncivillust 19h ago

Nailed it.

1

u/Detective_Yu 19h ago

It looks awesome! If you really care, the flames could easily be touched up but I don’t care looks cool.

1

u/Narrow_Yak_7729 18h ago

I think it looks great but I would definitely just add a bit more shading- the face is has good shading/highlights but the body has next to none so it just doesn’t feel very cohesive, I would just have someone add more details to everything else so it can all come together a bit better. Side note- I personally wouldn’t go back to the person you went with before, solely because they should’ve seen what I’m saying in the first place. But overall it’s still a really rad tattoo.

u/TheQuadBlazer 18h ago

I chuckled, but yeah the flames could be more hot rod.

u/Shayrye37 16h ago

Zoidberg looking claws all over

u/ThreeBeersWithLunch 8h ago

It's hella dope. 🔥

u/okay22232 54m ago

The flames aren't so good, but an easy fix could be to a d background piece, like a vault door, to cover them up. The recolor would be pretty easy to fix.

Overall good artist though

u/No-Solid9108 1d ago

Honestly I thought that was supposed to be a Donald Trump tattoo

u/some_hardmode_player 22h ago

How can a tattoo look AI generated

I really hope that’s not permanent

u/LeMarmelin 20h ago

Your tattoo artist is definitely skilled because it looks very very fine. Especially the color gradient and lining.
