Ttartisan 100mm f 2 8 2x macro vs laowa 100mm f 2 8 2x ultra macro apo?

The two lenses are very close on paper. Both are 100mm f/2.8 2X macros for full frame, both are manual focus, and neither is stabilised. On APS-C they frame and blur the same way, so the choice comes down to your mount and what you want to do.

If you shoot Fujifilm X, the TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 2X Macro is the only one of the two that fits. It also comes in a tilt-shift version. For Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L-Mount, Canon EF or Nikon F, both lenses fit, so pick on availability and price. The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is the one to check first if you're on one of those mounts.
