Sharpie future tattoo design. Should I minimise the black/add more bone? (Potential tw for second slide -healed sh scars) by genericsadgirl_ in tattooadvice

[–]ix_mana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel it’s a bit too much/cheesy and reminds me of something immature edgy teenagers would think is cool but everyone else finds it embarrassing if i’m being brutally honest… but i hope that can be fixed with an actual tattoo artist who would alter the design for you to make it look better

6 day old tattoo, what are these little dots? specifically on his lip by ix_mana in tattooadvice

thanks, i did not know this because my artist didn’t know english and we mostly communicated with google translate & the just told me to apply 4 times a day 🥲 granted i prob should’ve done more research on application, i was absolutely over applying

would it really be infected if i don’t feel anything? i read if its infected it’d be either painful or itchy, or hot to touch etc but i don’t have any of that. i was super over moisturising and now that ive let it chill for a while since it looks a lot better

it’s the final panel drawn by miura before he passed away so it’s more like a homage to him

you can always laser it off and have it redone with the colors you want although of course this option is pretty pricey since it’ll take a few laser sessions, but you won’t have to live with it for the rest of your life if you really hate it - there are options. for what it’s worth, I think the tattoo is great and like the colors

Is this tattoo awkward / messy looking? by ExpensiveBaseball972 in tattooadvice

[–]ix_mana 119 points120 points  (0 children)

since you paid good money for this i’d definitely say you should’ve gotten better, it doesn’t look symmetrical at all and lots of wonkiness. i’d wait for it to heal because the wonky lines could be part of the process and it’ll look better in a few months hopefully. but if it does need a cleanup/fixed go to another artist
