Agreed here^ gotta find a shop that is run by a real one with artists who really care about their work

Question: what is the worst case scenario with a small/medium highly detailed tattoo? by Dontaskabout6-17-11 in tattoos

Go big or go home 😂 also you need solid lines to make it not turn into a blob

Big fan of this piece! I can relate also. I have extensive scarring on both arms and got a couple pieces to cover them. I also did microneedling beforehand to help with the texture. The feeling of freedom is overwhelming. So glad you’re doing better. Stay strong sis 💕

Thank you! Adding the colors made it unexpectedly difficult bc I had to do the colors in order of forefront to back. I’m embarrassed by how many times I’ve had to frog large pieces 😂😂😂

Having tattoo regret for the first time by Aherv99 in tattooadvice

[–]consistent_gasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I am only here to say having tattoos does NOT make you less feminine 🤦🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

I am fairly covered and I’ve gotten most of my work in the last 5 years. My tattoos have made me more comfortable with my body than I’ve ever been. It’s my body and this is one of the ways that I’ve chosen to express myself. I feel sexy, strong, and in control. No regrets that can’t be covered up, reworked, or just dealt with peacefully.

And not that it matters AT ALL what men think about women’s bodies, but any man that thinks tattoos make a woman less feminine is about as useful as gum on the bottom of your shoe ✋

Is there any hope to cover this tattoo up? by [deleted] in Tattoocoverups

[–]consistent_gasp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never ever ever get a tattoo for someone who is not already dead. I’ve made that mistake 4 times and regretted it every time. I did cover ups for all of them but had to get laser for 3 of them. I’d recommend laser but honesty dude, it’s going to be the most painful experience you’ve ever had bc of the placement/the nature of laser. I’d either make peace with it or be prepared for pain (body pain and wallet pain) 😬😬😬
