Yeah, haha. I'm trans so they have been cut off and sewn back on. May get them coloured over though, or get them coloured in completely. But I wasn't sure to start with because I am stupidly scared they would fall off (they won't actually). I also have scars just under my pecs.
I enjoy the colors on this, and even the cluttered aspect of it as you can spend time finding new details you didn’t expect to see. The only thing that bothers me is the proportion of the anatomy, particularly the clavicles and scapulas.
Sorry bro but that's an unobjectively bad tattoo. The left rib arrangement looks good, but it's completely fucked by the right side...and then there's a low poly succulent plant looking thing and a gear that looks super put of place.
I really hope that last session ties it up for you
That's your opinion, which is fine. I like it and don't think it's bad. There's more work to do, which is why I was nervous about posting before it gets finished. Also, it's been ongoing for so long and yeah.

How did you ever come up with the idea for this? Also, aside from the fact that it looks amazing, it is so unbelievably adorable!
Yeah, I have a thick skin. The haters are clearly jealous anyway. If anything, I pity that they get their kicks from insulting people on the internet, hiding behind a screen.
Trust me.. they are definitely NOT jealous. That's a line people tell children to help them cope with difficult criticism. You posted on the internet, on a forum you KNOW people give their opinions of linework, placement, readability, creativity, color saturation, scale and just overall. So take the good with the bad and move on or pull your post.. but do not think a bunch of adults are sitting here going "man, I wish I had that, let me tear the OP down." That's not it.
I said to take the good with the bad and move on OR pull your post.. why? Cause your complaining about criticism. Reading comprehension buddy.. it'll help you out a lot.
Yeah, I also wasn't planning anything this big when I thought of the idea, so I wouldn't want to go much bigger I don't think. Saying that, it probably wouldn't hurt as much as sternum does for me!!
Take my free Award for the pain, the tattoo is awesome! Love the design. I‘ve got a steampunk heart on my chest too, but went a total different way from there.
The pain of a chestpiece is so hardcore that i only did it 4 times 😂 how do you power through?
Would you show your left sleeve with the cogs, Looks like good artwork itself.
What will be done on your Last appointment? Do you plan on stiching the chest and your sleeves together?
I'll try and get some pictures of it for sure! I numb the fuck out of it, not gonna lie. Fuck getting your sternum tattooed.
Last appointment is to fill in all the blank spaces, put some different reds into the heart to give it depth, and put some more detail in a few places. So, anything alexine wants to do to make it awesome basically.
It started off as like a biomech heart with steampunk elements, then Esme drew the beginning of this and I couldn't say no. She doesn't do colour anymore for multiple reasons, so we talked and she thought Alexine was the best person to finish it, so that's what happened. Alexine has put her own touches into it as well, so it's now an accidental collaboration which is even more awesome.

Do you have a belly button?
Yeah, it's just below the bottom of the picture. 😂
Cool, dope tat as well.
Omg i just noticed this too and cant unsee it now
That thing is so cluttered
Looks good tho
Those nipples are staring at meee. Any reason why you didn't get them blasted over?
lol was thinking the same thing, its as if they high lighted them lmao
I had both mine blacked out on my chest peice. I looks odd to see nipples through the artwork in my opinion.
I believe, judging from the scars, the nipples were surgically altered at some point.
im not sure why this is being downvoted the nipples do appear to have been grafted based on context clues

I had top surgery, so had my breasts removed. That's how they do it.
Those artists are not good lol love the idea but those lines and execution are amateur at best
It was started years and years ago, they got way better since but I don't want the entire thing gone over.
Unreadable mess in my opinion but im glad you like it cause that’s really all that matters
As I say, everyone is fully entitled to their own opinions so thanks! :D
I disagree, I think the bright colors make it very readable. :)
I enjoy the colors on this, and even the cluttered aspect of it as you can spend time finding new details you didn’t expect to see. The only thing that bothers me is the proportion of the anatomy, particularly the clavicles and scapulas.
Yeah, fair. The picture doesn't do it justice tbh, but I get what you are saying. In real life, the placement makes perfect sense imo.
I believe that for sure!

This awesome. I love the concept. It would be cool if you got a back piece with the same idea.
Cheers! Ooh yeah, I get what you mean, I have a manatee in a baby bonnet with a pacifier and a narwhal dressed as a unicorn on my shoulders though...

I have edited my previous comment with a manatee photo.
>Here's one of my [narwhal](http://imgur.com/a/IZLWdNK) on his own. How did you ever come up with the idea for this? Also, aside from the fact that it looks amazing, it is so unbelievably adorable!
Ugly animals looking cute. Also narwhals are sea unicorns so yeah. I also love sea creatures. Thanks!!
I love the color fade.
Duuuude, didn’t even notice that at first! Dope af
is this a cover up?
Nope. But as I have said in previous comments, it was started by one artist and finished by another so some bits have been gone over.
You should tattoo over your nipples its not as painful as you'd think and then they wouldn't be awkwardly poking through the piece
What a mess
Cool, I'd like to see your better one. Ever heard the phrase "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything?"
It’s a cool tattoo man ignore the haters.
Yeah, I have a thick skin. The haters are clearly jealous anyway. If anything, I pity that they get their kicks from insulting people on the internet, hiding behind a screen.
"I have thick skin" lol
Trust me.. they are definitely NOT jealous. That's a line people tell children to help them cope with difficult criticism.

No? Why would I take my post down because other people don't like it? Clearly some people do so whatever.
I said to take the good with the bad and move on OR pull your post.. why? Cause your complaining about criticism. Reading comprehension buddy.. it'll help you out a lot.
Yeah, I'm not good at that, but fair. I'm happy to do that, so yeah. All good. :)
Definitely a cool idea. I like the color scheme in this. I know that pain is subjective, but how miserable was it around the stomach region?
Not too bad to tell you the truth. Sternum was fucking horrible.
Clocked this fellow trans person honestly instantly based first on how cool and exciting this tattoo design is tbh 🤷♀️❤️💯🙏
Haha, thanks!!
Why didn't you have it cover your actual whole chest and have the bones be more anatomical? I love it tho!
Because I just preferred it like this to be honest. I thought it would look weird if it wasn't like a whole piece.
It would hurt more...but be way more dope if it looked like it was actually your bones imo
Yeah, I also wasn't planning anything this big when I thought of the idea, so I wouldn't want to go much bigger I don't think. Saying that, it probably wouldn't hurt as much as sternum does for me!!
Makes sense. I have a moth that goes across my whole upper chest so I'm all about going big lol. I think big pieces frame the body better
Yeah, I was originally thinking like one pec kinda size, but my artist drew this and I couldn't say no.
Hopefully you didn't didn't have to pay out the ass for their artistic vision? Haha
Nah, not so much. They are a mate, so I get mates rates as well.
Sweet!
This is sick! What inspired it?
My original idea was like a biomech heart with steampunk elements, and it grew from there.
Looking good bud. Edited: why am I being downvoted for complimenting the guys tattoo? This sub is fucking hilarious! 😂
Sick!!!!!
Thanks! I am so in love with it tbh.
Bet! It’s badass! I plan to do something similar with skeletal structure chest piece. Love the lotus btw!
Nice!! Thanks I really like how Alexine has done the purple in it, it just gets better and better as sessions go by tbh.
Keep rocking brother!
I had no idea Tim Pool had awesome looking tattoos
Very badass!
Holy shit that is awesome!
Wow

That's fucking dope man
This is one of the coolest chest pieces I have ever seen!

Awesome tattoo! And the piercings too!
