Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
It's not, actually. I've seen tattoo artists do it, but it's not an industry standard practice, no. They have to ask the client before they do it, too.

You can't lighten a dark tattoo. Once the ink is there, it's there. In order to lighten it, you'd need to do some sort of tattoo removal. Even one session with a laser remover should lighten it enough to have a cover up be more effective.

I've never heard of Tattoo Vanish, so I looked it up. It looks sketchy to me; most of the photos look photoshopped, sorry to say. It could work, but it's been my experience with clients who have used topical ointments for tattoo removal, that they just don't work. I've never used one, though, so I can't fully say one way or another.
If the ink that the skin color is going over is darker than skin color, then no, it's not possible. I get asked that a lot, though.

No, it's not normal, and it occurred because you bought a machine online and tattooed yourself without having gone through an actual apprenticeship or knowing what you are doing.

The best advice I have for you is to just get on the internet and find pictures you like. If you like it, who cares what other people think?

Without seeing a picture, it's hard to say. Sometimes white pimpley bumps can be irritation from having been shaved or the oitment a tattoo artist uses while they tattoo. Sometimes, bumps can be a sign of an allergic reaction to a pigment (usually happens with red ink). Sometimes, white pimpley bumps can be a sign of MRSA, which is an advanced staph infection. MRSA bumps usually happen during the healing process, though, and are big.

Natalie, sweetheart, I answered your question above. Just scroll up. =)
If you are concerned with the pain of a tattoo, and many people are, then you have to ask yourself if you really want a tattoo. Tattoos are experiences from start to finish, not just a work of art on your body. I hate being tattooed, but I would never use a numbing cream because that takes away from the *experience* of being tattooed.
