    You need to find an artist that specializes in that and get a consult. I have doubts about how well it will hold up over time, but I could be wrong.

    And then the rest will look too light.

    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.

    Yes, but you don't seem to be getting the nice replies. @Dan is right. You got a shit tattoo, you can't fix it. Your two realistic choices are live with it, or laser it to the point where you can get a cover up.

    Hopeful

    It's hard to make out, but from what I can see it doesn't look awful. I'd find someone local that specializes in coverups. You really need a consultation with the artist doing the work. That could either be saved and added to, or there is probably some way to do a cover up. I've seen some awful, awful tattoos completely covered and looking great. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I can't begin to tell you how many people just walk into a random shop and walk out looking worse than when they went in.

    Bye, bye.

    That is a NICE tattoo!

    That's why you do your research BEFORE you get a tattoo.

    Actually, you didn't say any of that in the post I responded to. I QUOTED what you said. Maybe you MEANT something different, but you didn't SAY it. I can only respond to what's posted, I'm not a mind reader.

    Yes and No. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. You've got a huge amount of solid black in there. I don't see how anyone could work with it. I'd be very leery about going to an artist that said they could.
  11. Hogrider
    In general you are right, in this case though, are you really arguing that it's the client's responsibility to tell the artist that they want it readable and don't mess up the negative space? Does anyone want a big bold tattoo that's unreadable with messed up negative space?

    If you didn't see multiple examples of his work in the style you wanted, then you are to blame. But in the end it doesn't really matter because you are the one who has to wear the tattoo.

    1) it will fade, but not in a week. It's not even healed! 2) It is a nice tattoo 3) If you're worried about what people will think, it's too late for that. This is why you think about the ramifications of getting a tattoo BEFORE you get one.

    Not trying to shit on your new tattoo, but none of those lines are clean and there is a lot of ink bleeding over the lines. You need to know what makes a good and bad tattoo or you'll wind up with another one.
  16. Hogrider
    No, your best course of action is laser to get it as light as possible and a cover up. And next time find a really good artist.

    Do you have stock in that website? All of your posts seem to drive traffic there.
  18. Hogrider
    Probably because it was done by an apprentice. Apprentice means they are still learning. They are learning on you.
  19. Hogrider
    No matter how many times they ask, or how they phrase the question.
  20. Hogrider
    Scummy scammers are not welcome here. A lie is a bad first post.
  21. Hogrider
    I doubt it would help. Everybody thinks THEIR situation is different. But what if, but what if, but what if, but what if ...
  22. Hogrider
    SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS. This is the most asked question on the forum. No matter how you phrase it, how many times you ask it, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for a tattoo to heal and until it's healed you won't know what it is going to look like. No sense staring at it, thinking about touchups or anything else.
  23. Hogrider
    Find someone that knows what they are doing.
  24. Hogrider
    It's the artist's responsibility to educate their clients about what works and what doesn't, as well as the risk of how a tattoo could turn out. I wouldn't use that artist again anyway. Look closely at those lines and the saturation.
  25. Hogrider
    No matter how you ask or phase your question, the answer is always the same - in trying to fix it, you'll almost certainly make it worse.
