Just wear that bikini top and trust me, no one is looking at the tattoo. If they do see it, they'll think it looks fine.

The artwork is not very good; the lines aren’t consistent, some look really heavy, some are wobbly; some of the color isn’t saturated; the lettering is uneven; overall they look very flat and one dimensional. I don’t agree that they are “scratcher” tattoos at all, I’m just recommending that you learn to evaluate Tattooers and find some better artists. I’m not sure how you vetted these artists, but if their work looked like this and you thought it was good, you really need to learn how to properly vet an artist.

Sorry, but I have to agree with @Dan. Learn to evaluate tattoos and tattooers before you get any more.

Oops You have been awarded dunce of the year for most obvious spammy spam spamming yet. You should at least TRY to hide the fact that you’re a spamming maggot!

If it’s not hot, oozing, very painful, and smelly, it’s almost certainly not an infection. I’m not a doctor, but I don’t see anything that looks infected. Tattoos take 4-8 weeks to heal. Enjoy your tattoo.

Please advertise your shitty site somewhere else.

Please don’t use this forum to advertise your shitty site hidden in a blizzard of obvious bullshit.

Looking good!

Tattoos take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to heal, in general, so don’t do anything until then. It’s unlikely that you hurt it, but only time will tell.

Looks good, enjoy it.

It looks fine. OCD is a great way to make a good tattoo worse. Trust me, NOBODY is eyeing your tattoo with a microscope except you. Enjoy it and get more tattoos.

Sweat it out. Skin cancer is no fun. The problem is, when it’s too late it’s too late. And 12 is not “a few.” 😉

Finally finished my ribs. 3 hour session last week, I kept looking at the bottle of numbing crème, but held out. My artist offered it a couple of times, but I said I wanted to “earn” it. I’ll post a pic when it heals. I have two sessions left and my body suit will be complete. I’ve been chipping away at it for 12 years. I can’t believe it’s almost done.

Maybe you’d have better luck finding an artist that would like to turn that into a sleeve rather than just rework it. It’s not terrible and I think you’re right, that could be brought to life by a good artist. Where are you located?

Just to be clear, mine doesn’t look a little better, it healed completely.

There is no way to know how it will heal, you just have to wait. I rarely have scabs, but I had one the size of a dime on my leg and it ripped off accidentally. It healed perfectly, but did need to be touched up. It took about three months to completely heal.

The placement Looks better, but thin lines just don’t usually hold up long term. However, it’s your tattoo and you should get what you want as long as you understand the risks. Good luck, and please post it when it’s done!

I don't have any idea what font to use, but my suggestion would be to skip the font all together. Thin lines on thin skin can be prone to blowouts and you're looking at your wrist and elbow ditch - not a great place for that. If you absolutely must have the font, I'd ask your artist to find something - he's the one that will have to make it work.

Nobody wants to see your shitty web site butt plug.

He probably tries to sell vegeburgers at a cattle rancher’s barbecue.

Please stop advertising your shitty tattoo stickers. NOBODY here wants them. This is a forum for tattoo enthusiasts, not posers.

Nothing is easy on the love handles. After my artist drew on my back piece, he started to do the lining right on my love handle. I remember thinking, I'll never be able to sit through this, but the endorphins kicked in and I made it. I didn't think the upper back was bad at all. At one point, I actually almost fell asleep while he was shading. The only thing that kept me awake was the thought that if I fell all the way asleep and he hit a sensitive spot, I might move when I woke up and screw something up.

No shortage of tattoo artists in Dallas. You should be able to find one who will accommodate you. Good luck.

Drawing a good tattoo is not the same as drawing a picture on a flat piece of paper. Why do you think that a tattoo artist would be unable to understand you and get frustrated, but you could find someone other than a tattoo artist that would be able to do it? Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. Tattoo artists are used to people describing what they want. Find a good artist and work with them. You're going to wear this forever, don't worry about cost. It will cost far more to have it lasered off if you don't get what you want.

Sweet!
