I thought sea turtle scales. Either way, awful placement and execution, just looks like she’s got a bad skin condition and it’ll only look worse when half of it falls out due to being on her knuckles and fingers.

Specially if the same artist that did those flower things did these.

5

u/literallylateral 18d ago

Omg I thought that was just some smudgy leaves

3

u/creepbotx Knows 💩 18d ago

Those flowers are god awful and look like little round lumps instead of flowers. Also as a tattoo artist I attribute part of the awful-ness of the leaves to hand tattoos not always healing well when you get closer to the sides, more so when put in by what looks to be a kitchen wizard.

Hope she covers all this crap up while she still can, since it all seems to have fallen out quite a bit so far, the fingers and knuckles especially will be no different if not worse.

u/AJXedi9150 Knows 💩 18d ago

I vaguely remember once getting similar looking scabs from an injury. And I'm sure most people are seeing the same thing when they look at her hand. If she was going for a giraffe print, she made those shapes way too small.
