Asked by mia almost 13 years ago

I don't price tattoos. Head to a shop and ask the artist you'd like to have do your tattoo.

Black ink that heals dark green is cheap ink. Good quality black ink stays black.

How fine a line can be achieved in a tattoo? The design I have in mind calls for a symbol with an outline and some smaller lines within--is there a way to get that style without enlarging my design?

Asked by Emily over 12 years ago

The finest a line can be is a single needle. But, lines that fine don't generally hold up over time.

Hi. I have a Phoenix on my arm which is great but now I want to add clouds as a background. Do you think this will be an issue as the foreground has been done first? Thank you.

Asked by Mike over 12 years ago

Shouldn't be an issue at all. Many times a background is added behind an existing tattoo.

I got a tattoo yesterday on the inside of my left foot. It's a quote done in dainty script. But its not THAT small. One of the words, "with" has a lot of ink around it. When you look up close you can read it, but from far away it's a blob??????

Asked by Amanda almost 13 years ago

I'm missing a question somewhere. If you are asking if the the ink around the word 'with' can be removed, the answer is no. If the rest of the tattoo is fine, but the 'with' looks thicker than the rest, then your tattoo artist "blew" the word 'with', meaning they went too deep into your skin and the ink spread. There's nothing you can do about blown lines in a tattoo, sorry.

I got a tattoo about 4 days ago and it was supposed to be with golds and browns but turned out kind of orange. Is there anyway I can change the color? & if I can what would be te best color to change it to?

Asked by Kay almost 13 years ago

The ink may not be done settling in your skin. During the healing process, especially if the area slightly scabs, the colors will go from vibrant to muddy brown and back to vibrant once the final healing stages are done. If you still aren't happy with the colors once it's completely healed, head back to your tattoo artist and have them put the golds and browns in.
