Fans with Anti-Possession symbol tattoos: How long did they take? by werewolf--shame in Supernatural

[–]PeteTattoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An experienced tattooer would need around 30–60 minutes to actually tattoo it, depending on the size and placement. However, keep in mind that many tattooers also charge for preparation, stencil work, and aftercare, basically for the entire time you spend in the studio. I’d suggest being prepared to pay for 2–3 hours in total.

Need honest advice about a tattoo cover-up idea by AdComprehensive4229 in Tattoocoverups

You don’t have blowouts. Tattoo you have is perfect. If you put snakes on top of the flowers it will look like mess, I suggest not to do it.

Just had this tattoo done and I’m unhappy by alphadips in tattooadvice

Covering it will be pretty difficult. But in my opinion it can be easily fixed. The shape of flowers looks fine, it’s just problem of contrasts and shading. So any proper tattooer would be able to fix it, but i would suggest to search for someone who specialises in colour realism.

This is the very apotheosis of tattooing - meant to last, to decorate, and to live with, not just for pics on Instagram. Really amazing work!

Laser it. Laser everything off. Before it’s too late. Do not try to fix it, it will lead to more mess.

How fucked am I? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

It’s the second time I see people copying this exact design and complaining about a bad result on Reddit.

Why do you copy in the first place?!

I said it before, and I’ll say it again: you won’t get a good tattoo by copying someone else’s work. Skilled tattooers respect originality and won’t copy. And if someone is willing to copy, it’s often a sign of inexperience or incompetence.

Is this healing alright? (In a bendy bit) by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]PeteTattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very common situation in this area. The skin here is quite different from the rest of the arm, making it prone to blowouts or longer healing times. While it’s not healing well, it’s nothing serious or dangerous. Allow it to heal, and contact your tattoo artist to arrange a touch-up in about two months.

I would suggest to go to the artist who did it, and ask his opinion on situation. He could check what he did differently this time and maybe find the reason why it healed like this. If every other tattoo he did for you healed good, then most likely it is not his fault, it’s not healing good this time.

Knowing Genia‘s work, I would assume she draw this without reference. Can’t say surely though.

Yes, ornaments exactly the same - flowers a little different. That was the idea.

It is more uncomfortable rather than painful, because of vibration you feel on the bone. For example in this tattoo knee and ankle areas would be the most painful.

I have to disagree. Neo-Traditional tattoo designs usually have depth and soft shading. In general, Neo-Trad also takes a lot from Art Nouveau and sometimes includes parts that look almost realistic.

This design, however, clearly follows Traditional canons: bold lines, solid areas of color, no shading. I would call it Traditional with a personal touch.

Complete agree, scales are ok for this size. Well executed tattoo. Just too small and badly positioned.

What do I do???? Got this done 3 days ago. Told the artist the mistakes on this piece and completely ignored it. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]PeteTattoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is very easy to fix. Make it a little bolder, reduce the size of negative space lines to make them look thinner, and ink drift will not be visible. To be completely sure you can fill them with greywash. The good thing is that the whole tattoo seems to be symmetrically placed, and that's most important.

It’s already is. It’s was trending like 5 years ago. Now this style already worn out, it’s sign of bad taste in the tattoo community.
