Tattoos - December 2007

I have a tribal armband tattoo that I really want covered up. Is it possible or is the damage done? I understand that I might have to have an upper quarter/half sleeve for it to be fully covered.

Which heal easier? I was told that black tattoos take longer to heal than color tattoos because its harder for the skin to accept the ink. Is this true? Which do you perfer colored or black and gray tattoos?

k so i got a tattoo dec 6th 2007

its of a hello kitty on my foot,
after he got done he just sprayed
it with water i think and didnt wrap it.
he left like 2 minutes after he cleaned up
his station, just left the tattoo shop.
maybe he had the runs or something,
i really dont know.
but my friend was getting one done
by another tattoo artist that was there
in the building. all of hers were sprayed
with rubbing alcohol and wrapped with seran wrap.

my tattoo seems like its fading outside the lines,
almost like the ink is staining around the outline.
it still is way sore when i walk.
i really dont think he did his job!

what are some suggestions on what to do?

I've wanted tattoos ever since I can remember. I want to start planning some things to get done soon but my boyfriend is so adversed that I would "want to do that to myself" or I'm "too pretty for that", even though I have piercings now. my family reacts the same way but they've known me longer, so they aren't as bothered. I think tattoos are beautiful and as long as they're original, I don't think you can go overboard. that's just my opinion though.
what have you dealt with and how have you resolved any conflict about your choices?

I'm getting ready to go get my tattoos touched up. The guy thats going to do it tattooed 2 of them that im getting touched up ( 3 in. stars on wrists) and will be also touching up a dragon tattoo that he didnt do, but said he'd touch it up for me ( 7 x 4 in dragon on my left lower back). All ink is grey and black, no color. I was planing on tipping him. My thought was around $100-150... ish? is that acceptable? I dont want to feel like a jerk and not give him enough for his time.

I have recently saved up and scheduled a tatto that should be 3 or 4 all day sittings at $130 an hour. I have been told tips should be 20% of the full price but, does this mean I should tip my artist nearly $1,000 for one weeks work?

I went to get a relatively large tattoo, the artist did it half way and told me that he couldn't finsh it all in one day and I should come back in 2-4 dyas time.

Is it normal for a tatto artist to do it over a few days? Doesn't it hurt a whole lot more to do it this way (now that my skin is tender)?

I know it may sound silly but I just got a tattoo 1 week an 3 days ago, and it's on the bottom side of my wrist. I sat under a uv light lamp, and unfortunately my tattoo was exposed-totally forgot :( It was oly for 4 mins, and I was wondering can that short amount of time cause damage to my tattoo? I know you"re supposed to stay away from tanning beds and such.....

I am wondering what options there are for a tat that was done poorly, or generally did a lot of damage? My daughter has a monarch butterfly tat on her lower back that was really beautiful at first. We didn't notice the damage until it began to heal poorly. Apparently the artist went too deep and there is some hard scar tissue present there. Does anyone know what options there might be for this type of damage?


Asking this for a friend... any help would be appricated... thanks

I'm looking for a Texas tattoo artist that can do amazing work for a photo-realistic eagle shoulder piece. I'm wanting someone that can do realistic work, with a very traditional, American look. I don't want Japanese influenced, or 'Flash' type artwork.

I live in the Dallas area, but I'm willing to go anywhere in Texas if I can find the right artist. The problem is that I have an artistic background, too, so I'm not necessarily picky, so much as particular.

So please no generic replies, I want to hear from artists, or people who have had amazing work done by someone particular. Thanks!

I asked earlier if tattoos were tacky, reason for this is a male freind of mine recently got his name tattooed on his arm. Do you think this is a silly thing to do.

She wants a tattoo machine for x-mas, to practice on fruit she says. She is an amazing artists and thinks this is the path she wants to take. I took her to the Tattoo show and she fell even more in love with the idea. Just curious if any working artists have any advice for me?
