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.
You can definitely go over it with a darker blue. Purple would work, too. Reds or pinks over blue will cause it to have a slight purple tinge, just as yellow over it will make it look green.

It depends on the tattoo artist. Maybe explain to them why you don't want to return to the other person. That would probably help more.

Using words as a cover up is nearly impossible because of the spaces between the letters.
Share Answer: 
I have seen it done before. On some people, it works. My opinion, though, is that tattoos are for artwork, and words aren't really artwork. Instead of gettting words tattooed everywhere, why not have the quote turned into a piece of art that reminds you of it, instead of covering your body in words? I can almost guarantee you'll regret having your body covered in words down the road.

The 6" sub is too small and the 12" is too big. Why no 9-inch sub?

If a homeless person wants to use your bathroom, are you supposed to stop him?
You can do either. You can look at the flash on the walls or bring them ideas for a custom tattoo that you've collected before you go to the shop.

UV ink doesn't stick around at all, but costs an arm and a leg. It's a way for tattoo artists to make a quick buck, and then continue to make a quick buck because it fades so quickly. I doubt you'll get a refund, and my advice is to forget about UV ink.
Share Answer: 
You'd have to talk to tattoo shops in your area. You may have a problem finding an apprenticeship until you are 18, though, so I'd start drawing and build up an art portfolio until you turn 18.
