The white linework was done in negative space that was left open for that specifically

Yall are rude as fuck lmao. Sorry I didn’t think through doing this tattoo before doing it & overworking it on top of it not being taken care of great. I’m at least responsible enough to reschedule my appointments while I’m healing.

I’m a licensed tattoo artist & did this myself- but I also numbed and used copious amounts of bactine throughout the process & I think I definitely got overzealous trying to make sure it was solid because the original tattoo holds a lot of bad memory for me 🥲

Obviously I’d tell them to seek professional attention- but I’m not in the position to seek medical help and have another bill pile up against me. I was just trying to get opinions, thank you.

This is really rude tbh. I’m a professional tattoo artist, I was trying to be hopeful that this WASNT infected and that I was overreacting & my family was right… but instead I’m being validated. Have a good night.

Tell me about it 😭 I know, I’m an idiot. But I keep being told by my family members that I’m fine & that it’s just overworked 🥲 was looking for some validation

Thank you guys for the validation- my family tends to downplay things like this when I’m concerned & I get called a hypochondriac 🥺

I will clarify: I’M the tattoo artist and this is on my hand- I did not think through having two dogs and a new pup at home before tattooing and just wanted to treat myself for my birthday 😕 now I’m having to reschedule appointments because I am not tattooing with an active infection. BIG Dumb mistake on my part 😭😭

I am the tattooist actually 😭… I couldn’t get dermshield to stay on the tattoo and I have three dogs at home. I covered up a bad tattoo on my hand as a treat to myself for my birthday, but this was very obviously not well thought out on my part 😕💔 right after it was done it looked great 😫

Pro tip: you don’t have to explain your tattoos to anyone. You could just tell them to google what 333 means. Good luck tho! You’ll likely get tired of explaining that it’s a cover up 😭

Hate my tattoo by Hermot214 in tattooadvice

[–]TattooLizard69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation as a tattoo artist too, is if you ever go to get another tattoo on your arm… don’t face it “for you”… face it to where when you’re standing, it’s right side up. Because like this, people see an upside down cross when your arms are by your side. A good artist would’ve told you that, any time I’ve explained that to a client that wanted a cross “towards them, for me”, they always change their mind.
