My tattoo artist screwed up a name tattoo an it wasn't noticeable ontill the swelling went down and if scanned then peeled!! What can I do about it or how do I go about it

Asked by tweety over 12 years ago

I'd go back and talk to the artist about it. I'm not sure how they screwed it up to say whether it can be fixed or just needs to be covered up.

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.

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.

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 over 12 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.

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

How can I tell how many sessions a tattoo will take? Or how complicated can a one session tattoo be?

Asked by Em almost 12 years ago

It all depends on the tattoo and the proficiency of the artist. I've seen artists knock out entire sleeves in one day.
