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.

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 about 12 years ago

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

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

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 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.

Nope. I don't know of a state that will tattoo a 16 year old without parental consent.
