Ok - to make this easier...I'll just # the questions? Thanks so much....
1. My tattoo is being done for free by the artist that did my first one. I found out that he normally charges approx 200 for the tattoo that I'm getting as an addition...is $100 tip good? He's also going to do any necessary touch up work on my existing tattoo that he's adding to.
2. The orig tattoo is on my lower back on the left side. The addition is going to be my daughter's Chinese name (her real one)...it's going to be put on closer to my spine. If the tattoo isn't directly on the spine, does it hurt as badly or is it just super painful on the actual spine?
3. For those mommies that had babies. I have one daughter already but not sure down the line if my hubby and I will have another, did any of your lower back tattoos distort alot or anything?
*ugh...the stress of getting the tattoo is making me have second thoughts again. :S

1. Wow, $100, how much to mow your lawn?? Knowing your artist, I believe that money is his last concern. Maybe you could get him a gift for his shop. And drop a good word for me!
2. I have a tat right between my shoulder blades on the spine. Truthfully it was more of a super annoying tickle.
3. My wife got her lower back piece in between babies number 1 and 2. The tat didn't change at all.

Yes, $100 should be considered fair. Any artist should touch up anything they have done in the past, providing you take care if it.
It does hurt more closer to the spine, but it will be there forever.
Distortion depends a lot on the elasticity of your skin and how you care for your artwork. Many women who have ink and get pregnant fail to care properly for the area and end up with problems. Being that your work is on your back you have less change of distortion unless you gain a lot of weight. Just to be safe though, use cocoa or shea butter (or a combination) on any areas that are growing. This works great for stretch marks too. Its important to keep the area moist (just like when it heals initially) so twice a day isn't enough. You will need to keep your moisturizer with you all the time to prevent stretch marks or distortion.
