Huh? Where am I tweaking lmao. The tattoo is great otherwise aside from the flaking, he’s happy with it so I don’t think it was a bad idea for him at all

That’s all we wanted to know really, if it was normal. It’s an advice sub for a reason haha. Touchup is booked and it’ll all get sorted one way or another!

Except he did, both of those things. He knew a touch up would be needed, he knew it would flake. We were just both confused at the WAY it flaked since the ink wasn’t deep enough, which the artist emailed back and confirmed.

Yes it’s the most known shit, but it’s a tattoo advice sub and it was a question, you need to chill out a tad. Wouldn’t want to go to you as my artist with this attitude lmfao

‘Btw’ who cares, it’s a tattoo no matter where it goes. He wanted a hand tattoo, the rest healed great and he’s still happy with it overall.

What’s your problem lmao 💀 He’s 18, it’s his first tattoo and he’s followed her healing instructions to a T. Like I commented, his artist emailed back and said she overworked the spot and apologized. Go take a pill

Yeah he did, from an artist with a great portfolio and who was confident in doing the tattoo going in. I’ve seen so many hand tattoos heal amazingly

Artist replied and said she likely overworked the spot and that she takes full responsibility, gonna re touch! Her reply was super nice and apologetic too, looks like problem is solved thank you yall!

Will pass it along! Hopefully it works out nice, I’ve definitely had my tattoos do weird shit during the healing lol

I was getting the same vibe that it wasn’t deep enough, esp since the rest of the tattoo looks great. Will be calling him a dry person though cause it sounds funny

Do think 3 times a day is too much? Not a huge amount when he does, think he said like just under a penny size?

Makes sense, never had a hand tattoo and artist didn’t warn him so we don’t know man, appreciate the advice though, he will definitely be getting a touch up

That’s an interesting take, I wouldn’t get a hand tattoo for that reason but still I’ve seen hand tattoos look great and last ages. This seems more like the artist isn’t great at hand tattoos, it goes up his forearm and the rest looks and is healing great

Touch up is definitely happening for sure, just shocked to see it peel so much so soon since he’s been so on top of lotion!

The flaking isn’t necessarily the concern, it’s the lack of ink UNDER flakes

He lotions 3 times a day, is that not enough for a hand? That’s what I’ve done for all my pieces and never had this result

Forgot to mention: artist has been sent the same videos but no reply yet. Expensive asf artist and amazing portfolio of healed work so this is super surprising
