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.

I just got a new tattoo last night for the first time wondering if I can use Neosporin to keep the moisturize that's all I got

Asked by Chris Mackenzie about 11 years ago

Please don't use Neosporin to heal a tattoo. It causes the skin to heal too quickly, resulting in a loss of ink. Use A&D ointment, Aquafor or white, unscented lotion.

I just have a quick question. I got a tattoo today. I am supposed to coach and play beach volleyball on tuesday so just over 48hours. Can I cover it up for the hour or so or should I just not do it? And if it is ok to wrap it what can I wrap it with?

Asked by bellis about 11 years ago

You should not be playing beach volleyball 48 hours after having a tattoo done, especially if the tattoo is somewhere that will exposed to the dirt and sand flying around. 

I got a tattoo for my dad who passed away and got it in roman numerals. I asked my sister the date because my mom isn't a big fan of tat's and she told me the wrong year. Now I have an extra line at the end. How can I cover it? I can send a pic.

Asked by Idiot. over 11 years ago

Without seeing it, it's difficult to answer. You could add some tiny roses to the beginning and end of the date, which will camoflage it, maybe? That's a tough one.

I am getting a tattoo of an infinity sign with feather birds and the words stay strong on my inner bicep, the feather and birds going from inner arm to outside. will resistant training stretch or effect my tattoo and when can I start exercising again

Asked by Mill over 11 years ago

Small changes in size and weight generally won't affect a tattoo. But if you are going from being thin and kind of scrawny to a professional body builder size, the tattoo will stretch and look faded.

Hi,
I got a tattoo on my foot 3 days ago and it's all scabby. I bumped it while walking up the stairs and part of a scab came off and color leaked. Is this normal/ okay? It wasn't much color but I'm concerned

Asked by Carlie about 11 years ago

If a scab rips off before it's supposed to, there is a chance you'll have a loss of ink in the final healing process. 

Hey! I'm an aspiring artist, and i've been wondering some good practicing techniques that aren't directly on skin. Also, any hints for beginners?

Asked by Natalie over 11 years ago

Fake skin can be used for beginners. 

Hi. Exactly WHAT is a photo realistic tattoo? My understanding was if I brought a picture of a person, sunset, animal...REAL subjects, then that's what photo realistic is. THank you

Asked by Loretta over 11 years ago

Photo realism is recreating the picture exactly on the skin, so it looks like a photo.
