‘Expectations Vs Reality’: 25 Tattoo Sketches Transformed Into Intricate Designs

Published 10 hours ago

There’s always a risk when opting to permanently mark your body in ink, that the end result may not meet expectations. The tattoo artist’s skill and talent matter greatly when you choose who you want to trust to needle a design of your choosing on your skin. It’s even riskier when you opt to allow the tattoo artist to create the design based on an idea or concept you have in mind. There are so many things that could go wrong, that when it does go right instead, the satisfaction hits on many levels. 

While bad tattoos remain popular for their own reasons, the r/TattooDesigns community also celebrates tattoos that are just perfect. Our team has scoured the subreddit to find the most stunning photos of  “What I asked for vs. what I got.” Scroll to check out a few of our top picks in the impressive gallery below.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
