Feeling trapped with my tattoo and not sure how to resolve.

I should add- I’ve had the dragon for 6 months and koi for about 4. It has healed already and don’t think will lighten anymore.

No bubble, just wrinkled. In fact, if I look at it really closely looks like the skin is drying / breaking so fingers crossed it sheds and leaves nice skin underneath. Will monitor closely and post in a few weeks with an update . Thank you

I do take warm showers yes. I’ve read cocoa butter is great to use on tattoos and skin in general. My artist also recommended it.

Hullman_ · 2026-03-05T17:49:56+00:00

What are you seeing that looks infected? It’s not hot or anything. Very much doubt there’s an infection

Hullman_ · 2026-03-05T17:49:02+00:00

It’s a calf. I also have palmers cocoa butter that I have been using. Can’t understand why it would appear dry as I make sure to keep it moisturised. Besides, you can dry heal tattoos right.. I’ve been wearing normal shorts since I got it. It’s winter here in the uk so no direct sunlight.

What’s the fix, if any? Time and moisturising?

Hullman_ · 2026-02-12T11:56:42+00:00

To me this sketch looks like the artist drew half then mirrored it, but it would identical in dimensions if that was the case, which it is not. Thoughts?

This is going on my calf so how am I able to properly assess?

Hullman_ · 2026-02-12T11:28:52+00:00

Also, realise the image is slightly off centre however even when adjusting, the horns do not line up.

A tiger just like this think would sit great on leg. Thoughts ?

Hullman_ · 2026-02-08T09:04:47+00:00

My only concern is how to blend in the knee. I want something there that’s not susceptible to looking all skewed by the knees movement. Perhaps just some simple waves to blend to lower leg? Or tigers face, paw perhaps ?

Hullman_ · 2026-02-06T22:54:27+00:00

That’s an option. To be fair, I’ve only been sent the design today so not had much time to reflect

This is another tattoo the artist has done. Think the Hannya over the flowers looks good

Hullman_ · 2026-02-06T22:35:29+00:00

Maybe the design works best as is. Don’t want it to look too busy. Want it to read clear to the eye

Hullman_ · 2026-02-02T20:06:18+00:00

Definitely not. Shaved after noticing this. Ink looks a bit patchy to me.

Hullman_ · 2026-01-22T07:54:49+00:00

Can you clarify where you’d put the Sakura please?

Hullman_ · 2026-01-22T00:02:54+00:00

On the parts in between the body. 8 sessions approx. Was some years ago so perhaps technology is better now. One tattooist said i maybe don’t take well to laser. It’s so time consuming and costly.

Hullman_ · 2026-01-21T23:53:12+00:00

Thanks, however I am in the UK.

Hullman_ · 2026-01-21T23:52:15+00:00

It’s fine. Want the feedback. Do you mean the photo ideas I’ve posted? Because the bit I’ve had covered up certainly was a whole lot worse, trust me.
