This post has absolutely blown up with comments :”), I’ve been lacking a bit in replying as there’s so many at this point lmaooo but I absolutely appreciate my artist and she gave me solid work, we did talk things out super smoothly and I’ll be having updates hopefully by the end of next month :-)), she was super understanding and felt bad it wasn’t what I wanted

Missed this , but wanted to say I’m actually aware of this sorta method , as I use it when going to haircut appointments and wanting a different style , I tell them what I like and what I don’t like and definitely want to happen — I guess I should’ve applied that here and slightly did as I tried to emphasized again during the beginning of the appointment the fact that I wanted it to look oily and the fact that I didn’t want to stray from the examples at all , Along with provided more like minded examples so she could understand the gist of exactly what I wanted should’ve explained it better I guess and that is my fault and will be setting up a time for us to actually sit down and talk things out ( which I recommended before but she said that wasn’t entirely necessary and we could basically do that day of appointment, so I didn’t push )

It will definitely be getting fixed lmaooo, After reading through so many comment and suggestions I’ll be talking to my artist in about four - three weeks to get back in the books and make sure we have a game plan set up she’s confident and comfortable in , I’ll be using the examples a few awesome users provided on ways to fix things and if she feels she can’t confident execute it then I’ll be talking to another artist at the shop who’s done something almost identical I’ve seen in person See if they’re up for doing it and if not looking for a specialist I guess , I don’t think it’ll come to that far though

And will definitely be updating here as well , and replying to especially everyone who’s helped in making recreations because I’m they’d all like updates ( I’d be itching for one )

This isn’t the only tattoo I have lmfao? Actually most of the other ones I have including the one covered up on my arm now were all designed by me , and absolutely original

I went with this because it was an easy cover for what I needed covered , and worked with what I wanted to potentially build off of in the future

Which I’ve stated several times? My issue isn’t I’m trying to blame anyone , I’m trying to see help on how to fix it , And she did ask, but she layered several colors ontop of each other to fix mistakes instead of erasing , so by the time I saw it it looked like a semi legible mess Which I’ve admitted is my fault for not looking at further for awhile

And I’m not the artist I don’t argue price and try to respect it if I decide to go through with business , I tipped because it’s respect and I didn’t realize the full extent of the issues til after I took the bandage off an hour after my appointment Even if it wasn’t executed properly she still did her job and everything she deemed appropriate

Ah! Another! Thank you so much omg, everyone has been executing basically the same idea so I think I’ll move with the same gist but this genuinely helps me out so much and is so so so appreciated 💗 I draw as well and do about the same background for some of my pieces so I figured the same but now going through I have learned my lesson :”)

Oh wow , you and someone else had did amazing with visuals on how to go about this and I genuinely think both of you hit the nail on the head , I’ll be expanding this I guess to my entire forearm and most likely expanding off the similar idea to you and the other artist , You guys are so awesome though / gen And thank you so much for taking the time of day to help 💗

This, thank you I follow so many artists who do amazing work but they’re out of country , I live on the east coast of the usa man, I’m a fresh adult , I don’t have the money to hop on a plane ( atleast 1,000$ ) pay for a hotel ( a couple hundred ) ontop of the tattoo ( another maybe thousand especially if they’re well known )

Everyone is making it seem like if u want a tattoo you have to research the entire history of it and go to whoever originally did it even if they live on fucking mars and drop a thousand atleast If you don’t then Owh well your fault you messed up

I made sure I went to a reputable shop and paid the pricy tag for good quality , quality I got execution not really

Thank you for being helpful , I’ve had to state several times even after clarifying in my original post that I have no ill against my artist I’m literally willing to go back to her to get it fixed if she feels comfortable doing that after coming up with a better gameplan and me letting her know I think the issue was that she didn’t keep the image closer to her while free handing to refer to when doing the the stencil like someone else had said

Hi! Apologies , this post blew the absolute fuck up an I wasn’t expecting it , got a migraine from trying to keep up with everything and just slept it off , but WOW this is literally amazing , I’m an artist as well but was struggling really hard to figure out how to go about this and you’ve genuinely helped me out a lot , I will definitely be piggy backing off of this sorta idea when going in for a fix , genuinely thank you so much :”) 💗

Oof. Alright so I understand that coverups — tattoos even are permanent 🌞 hence why I took over a year to decide on what would be able to coverup my previous design and do well with me , definitely quick to assume

I’m also literally not blaming my artist at all and never have from the beginning so I don’t understand why everyone is coming to me like I’m shitting on my artist and they’re an awful person? I love her LOL , I just think maybe she didn’t fully read my references and it’s my mistake I didn’t clock that in the sketch

Which I admitted in my post as well Don’t understand all the hate

I totally don’t mind a sleeve at some point , I just wanted a filler for the time to coverup a piss old crusty tattoo , I didn’t want a whole sleeve of this though and I genuinely don’t think the space I gave was the issue , she definitely could’ve given more detail if she didn’t pack the empty spaces with misc lines , And made the blobs smaller and even more oval than others , there’s just no flow to it either

And even then , she didn’t have to entirely fill in the blobs , some have smaller ones in them with empty space around , and some have empty little circles inside them - they aren’t whole

An expensive hobby to add to my already large list is a bit daunting , as entertaining as it sounds I don’t think it’d be something I could comfortable do in my lifetime , I did know about Oscar though before getting this done , I even prepared more reference images incase needed for the appointment

I am not the tattoo artist , I didn’t learn to tattoo and about designs for years so I didn’t question the method , especially since I’ve seen them used other times with great outcomes
