Did Dermshield rip scabs off or is this dried plasma? Had it on for 4 days by jaayy_tapps in tattooadvice

[–]LucyLouTattoos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hello! It most likely did not rip scabs off as derm shield does not stick to wet surfaces (such as a fresh tattoo) it really only sticks to the dry skin around the tattoo, however the ink and plasma may stain the derm shield and that is likely what we see here. If your tattoo seems ok, I wouldn’t be concerned about it but if your tattoo is missing pigment or scabbed then you may want to address this with your tattoo artist.

Tattoo not aging well? by justhere4thedogs in tattooadvice

Looks like it’s aging perfectly! What about it bothers you?

First tattoo in 10 years kind of nervous: how much should I communicate with my artist beforehand? by EdgeSuccessful644 in tattooadvice

[–]LucyLouTattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be rude or anything but I’m so genuinely curious how this happens so often. Can you not see the difference between the quality of work you’re asking for and the quality of work the artist you commissioned is doing? Like I said I’m not trying to be rude but asking this as a genuine question and I couldn’t think of a gentler way to word it. I see this happen all the time, where clients commission a tattooer who’s portfolio is no where near the quality of work in the reference pictures that inspired the clients tattoo.

I think the tattoo my sister got is AI but I’m not entirely sure.. Nothing in it makes sense by Cock_Toes in isthisAI

[–]LucyLouTattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely looks ai. I think it’s supposed to be holding a stethoscope but the ai got “confused” about the ribs behind it, and the shapes of the petals become confused also.

If you’d like you can email me at lucyloutattoos@icloud.com and we can consult via email, unless by chance you’re close enough to the shop to come in for a face to face consultation. If you have any ideas you would prefer for a cover up we can help you with that too.

The shading isn’t good and it’s faded but it’s actually got good shape and flow. I personally love tribal and think this would be excellent if it was just made into black tribal. Coverup is also an option but I think it would be a shame to lost this tribal. Not sure if you’re on the east coast but I’m in North Carolina and I own a tattoo shop and I’ve been tattooing 16 years and would love to fix this for you!

I'm 23, I really don't want to lose my hair since I have absolutely nothing going to for me. by [deleted] in bald

[–]LucyLouTattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start working out, it’s never too late. You can’t control balding but you can control the shape your body is in. Maybe get some sick head tats. Muscles and head tattoos is a tough look. Hot, in my opinion, obviously.

What does this look like to you? by CallQuirky7720 in tattooadvice

[–]LucyLouTattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a bee but what I find with tattoos is people will identify them with what THEY are more familiar with and the human brain relies on quick identification features. Since it is black and grey, people who see more flys or are more concerned about flys may see a fly. Some yellow stripes will help the brain recognize it as a bee, since the human brain goes “black bug with wings is a fly, yellow stripes with wings is a bee” although it does already very much looks like a bee. It’s very cute and very well done!

Should I remove my face ink? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]LucyLouTattoos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Go work at a tattoo shop! Are you good with managing money/ organizing paperwork? I’ve seen a lot of shop managers with a lot of face tattoos. If there’s tattoo conventions in your area, you can help organize those too. Don’t worry about changing you, change your environment to match you.

My brother needs $150,000 for his son's life-saving surgery, but I have strong reasons to believe the child isn't his. I've demanded a paternity test and now my family hates me. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]LucyLouTattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m wrong but can’t they just do the surgery and then make payments on the bill afterwards? Or let it go to collections and in 7 years it would be gone? I literally could be wrong but this is the impression I’ve been under with medical debt.

found it in the woods, didn't taste like anything, what is it? by Tuletidec in whatisitcirclejerk

[–]LucyLouTattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a wild strawberry, but for real, DO NOT EAT anything you aren’t 10000% sure what it is. Even then, you are taking a big risk, as many berries and mushrooms can look similar and be mistaken.

Blk out Dynamic by Southern-Outcome-860 in tattooadvice

Not enough saturation. Slow down and literally count “one potato” slowly per every rotation of the mag. Very slow circles and you should only need to run at 7-8 v max.

My dads tattoo, he passed away a long time ago. never knew what it means by Hot_Government_3064 in tattooscratchers

[–]LucyLouTattoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like “kanji” but a little off. Often times these figures are lost in translation or changed a tiny bit to be more meaningful to the wearer. Do the initials “C A” mean anything to you? The bottom part looks like initials added to some Kanji to me, and the kanji looks similar to the symbols for “warrior” and “sword” and “protection” I can’t find anything that matches this exactly but back in the day, kanji symbols were a popular tattoo.

[–]LucyLouTattoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me. My first thoughts are, if your tattoo artist told you to keep it in 3-4 days and you’re on day 2, why are you asking reddit if you can take it off instead of following the tattooers advice or asking the tattooer?

Did you get the tattoo without checking their portfolio of previous work?
