‘What I Asked For Vs. What I Got’: 30 Times Tattoo Artists Gave People More Than They Asked For

It’s honestly refreshing to see some “what I got” pictures where the got is actually better than the ask. For once, the internet said, “Here’s the expectation,” and reality came through with flying colors. These tattoo artists didn’t just show up. They showed off. Makes you want to track them down and say, “Surprise me.”

Also, shoutout to anyone brave enough to get a custom design in the first place. Trusting someone to permanently draw on your body is a wild move, and these results make it feel totally worth it.
