undudedude Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello, A noob friend of mine made this tattoo - penrose triangle https://imgur.com/a/6Ekit -, but it ended up with some imperfections, and I don't really want a tattoo in this state. I asked a tattoo artist and he said that I should cover it up, but I want more opinons. What do you guys think? Is possible to repair like with another color as outline? Thanks.

SStu Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Your "friend" didn't do you any favors. If you don't want a big black space on your arm I'd recommend some laser work.

zetroc Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good for you for letting your friend practice on you, but that's a keeper or a laser candidate.

byzantine Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 personally I would leave it be, but if you're dead set on laser get somebody to just clean it up a bit - somebody skilled like @discardead - like this Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6816-is-it-possible-to-repair-or-have-to-cover-it-up/#findComment-123275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SStu Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I am not a tattooist - but this topic has been discussed on the forum in the past - but for your guidance there are a couple of (or a few?) tattooists who are experimenting with putting white *on top* of black - so if you were nearby to one of them they would 1st need to put MORE black into your space. The other aspect of white ink is that with some people it doesn't stay white - it turns yellow or light brown. No way to predict that. bongsau 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6816-is-it-possible-to-repair-or-have-to-cover-it-up/#findComment-123409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongsau Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 yeah basically you will need something blackAF and bigAF if you are expecting to cover the triangle mess completely. I don't see a minor touchup correcting the roughness of your triangle tattoo. other options are live with it or laser. or black out that section of your arm and fade into your abstract / optical illusion idea SStu, sophistre and oboogie 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6816-is-it-possible-to-repair-or-have-to-cover-it-up/#findComment-124988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'd either: A. keep the tattoo and have it as a reminder of that time in your life and hopefully your buddy becomes an awesome artist, and you'll always be there to humble him. B. Go full blackout on that area, and do a scarification method where you want a different color. Depending on how your skin scars, it would range from reddish to skin tone. there are some awesome scarification artists out there.

undudedude Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I had a great idea! I'll make it all black triangle, then make the penrose triangle on the other side, and then add more 2 triangles inverted on each side aroudn the arm. Sierpinski triangle - it's a triangle supposedly that has 1,3 spatial dimentions And the middle one here - which is a 4 dimensional tetrahedron :D Edited May 2, 2016 by undudedude Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6816-is-it-possible-to-repair-or-have-to-cover-it-up/#findComment-125419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
undudedude Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) well, i went to the tattoo artist, and this idea doesn't quite work, it doesn't work as a symmetrical band as I envisioned....
