Kw12345 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi I wanted to get a full sleeve started on my arm but was abit naive when started, all my ideas my artist went against an due to his computer breaking only had ideas in a photo book so chose an idea then I ended up going to another artist who is brilliant but the one pyramid one I got which was the first artist just does not go with the rest, i started to think the more I filled my arm up the better it would start looking but don’t wanna finish the arm and it still look not right .I like the rest but I just feel it really doesn’t look right and I’m unsure whether to try and make the rose and skull darker so maybe it blends in more or I’ve been advised to laser remove everything so it fades then get a big dark cover up, I really like the angel, rose and dragon and feel like if that other one wasn’t there it would mix well but I’m unsure if it’s cos different artists draw differently and use different ink which is why it looks so different, feel like I should’ve thought a lot more an gone for one big sleeve piece but too late for that now so going to try and do what’s best, been told just lasering that one won’t really be possible don’t know if I’m overthinking but makes me feel down if it doesn’t look right, any advice and help would be great Thankyou do I carry on with the sleeve or do something thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Personally I wouldn't bother with the laser path, but if you do you should consult with the artist who is going to rework that space before proceeding. Make sure your expectations are realistic. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kw12345 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Would you carry on and ask to get the skull and rose shaded more darker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 You’re overthinking it. It looks solid and if you start monkeying around with it, you’ll likely wind up very unhappy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kw12345 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 So you think leave that part as it is? Not even add a little bit more shading to skull and rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even add a little bit more shading to skull and rose "A little" is very subjective. In my opinion, if you you do that, the other parts of the tattoo will then look too light. I think it would be extremely difficult to do that uniformly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kw12345 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just mean not fill them in just add slightly bit more shading to help, feel like if I carry on that one dark piece is just gonna stand out on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 talk to the artist about your concerns. see how comfortable he/she is with the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
