WesK

Just an update:

I went to Tsunami Tattoo in Tacoma, WA and had it reworked by Jayme Jack. I'm pretty happy with the results, and think it looks a lot better. Thanks for the advice everyone.

You're right, I'm in Seattle!

Depends on what kind of work you want @WesK. Liberty is excellent if you want traditional work. I can't fully tell what your tattoo is...is it a dragon eating it's tail? For Japanese stuff I would check out a few different shops, but starting at Slave to the Needle is a great place to start! I would check out Dark Age Tattoo for darker stuff, bio-mechy stuff etc. These are all in Seattle proper, so if you're looking for stuff in Tacoma, let us know!

Thanks for the recommendations! Tacoma would be preferred since its a lot closer to home, but I'm willing to go to the right place to get it done properly.

If you tell us where you live (maybe you have and i just can't see it on my mobile) someone can probably recommend a much better artist in your area!

I'm located in the Seattle / Tacoma area.

Can you please change my username to just WesK? Thanks.

Got my first tattoo about a year ago. I haven't had a chance to go in and have it touched up yet, but hoping to do so later this week. When I first went in I had planned on getting the design filled in, but after the artist got done with the outline my wife said she liked it as it is. Unfortunately, this left it looking pretty unfinished, so I was curious if anyone could suggest something that might make it look a little better. I'm still considering getting it filled in, but that might come later down the road. Right now I'm thinking of at least making the outline a little thicker along the outside of the design, just so that it sets off the inside lines a little more. Anyone have any other suggestions or comments on how that might look? Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks!
