    You should get an after tattoo on the other arm where Laika is in agony suffocating to death

    Edit: I guess she didn’t in agony suffocating, she died in agony due to overheating. Suffocation was a lie the Soviets pushed to make it seem nicer

    Edit 2: Who won the Space Race?

  2. Soviet Union was not an union. Countries were invaded by Russians and annexed into that “union”. they killed hundreds of thousands in the process. So, you could tattoo swastica instead of cccp, it would be the same. Shame.

  3. I’m not going to comment, but I will come back later to see if anyone said the paws look like Jar Jar Binks’ feet.

  4. Oh shoot that’s a single tatto? It looks great, idk what the dog symbolizes but they’re cute which is all that matters :3

    It’s a cute tattoo of Laika but the Soviets were genocidal monsters & they also essentially tortured that dog to death. I think that’s why some of us thinks it’s a bit…odd.

  6. Its nice looking, but I would love some explanation on each part beside Laika, Spunik, Saturn, Voyager coordinate drawings which are instantly recognizable. Is the space warping thingy meant to portray general relativity theory?

    It’s an interesting and cool looking tattoo. Is the subject a matter of Russian pride? Like, does the history of the USSR hold personal meaning that you wish memorialize here or are you just acknowledging the contributions of that space system?

  8. Fantastic tattoo. I really want a tattoo of Laika, this so so sweet and aaaaahhhh I love it. The art style is really nice!

  9. That wormhole tattoo is just bad, the symmetry is off and the lines are crooked as hell. It’s lost its three dimensional appearance and ends up looking like a side table. Overall looks like everything was kinda scratched on, hopefully you invest in a better artist for your future pieces.

    I like it. I’m not a tattoo person but it looks cool and original. The important question is how do YOU like it?

  11. I think that is a fantastic tattoo. I love the space theme and nerdy people like you will totally see all you have done there. Nice work man

  12. They killed a dog in space for experimentation. Dog is best friend? Yes. Some evil humans? Like russians? No.

    Schedule a laser session right away, then use it to burn your eyeballs so you don’t have to look at this tragedy any longer.
