I agree, but if you know ahead of time that you want a full sleeve, I don't see any reason not to plan for it.
-
I'd just go ahead and get the full sleeve, but there is no reason you can't go ahead with the 3/4 sleeve and just design it so it can be turned into a full sleeve later.
-
It looks like you are DROWNING that tattoo. Just use a very (meaning VERY) small amount of lotion. You don't want your tattoo to go for a swim, just don't let it dry out.
-
Do you want it to look like one coherent piece, or two pieces?
-
I know you can't tell me anything for 3 or 4 weeks, but can you tell me anyway???
-
Yea, but I know a lot of people with "thin" skin! Many of the newbies on this forum seem to have it.
-
Just to be clear, being an ASS HOLE is not going to make people want to help you.

I knew a guy that got a skull on his bicep when he was a skinny little guy. He started lifting weights and developed these huge arms. The skull was stretched out and looked really comical. But given the spot where you have your tattoos, the way they are placed, and the subject matter, I wouldn't give it a thought.
-
I think it looks great and I'm NOT fooling when I say that. Wear it proudly!
-
Because newbies come on and ask the same questions over and over again without bother to use the search feature to see that there are 100 threads on the topic.
-
If you know, why are you asking? asking for a friend
-
Unless you've had it more than two months you can stop worrying.
-
The thing next to that other thing. 🙂 What part of only fooling is causing confusion?
-
It's great except for that one little thing, but no one will notice it. Only fooling.
-
It takes 4 - 6 weeks to heal a tattoo. Don't overthink it. You know that rough/dry patches are NORMAL during the healing process, right?
-
That won't work. Tattoos don't work like that. There are NO do-overs. Even getting it lasered doesn't completely remove it. If someone suggests that, run Forrest, run! I don't mean this in a condescending way, but you need to educate yourself on the tattoo process, the coverup process and the laser process.
-
Every tattoo does not heal exactly the same way. Don't drown it, just a light coating of whatever you use. I just use cocoa butter, no need for that expensive stuff. Complete waste of money, IMHO.
-
You can't "fix" this. Your artist lied to you, shading doesn't correct a crooked line or fix a bad design. Your best bet is to find another artist. Don't just look at peoples work on line, people put up work they didn't do all the time. I wouldn't go to anyone without a personal recommendation from someone I know and trust.
-
It takes 4- 6 weeks for a tattoo to heal. I wouldn't start to worry until then. BUT, it wouldn't hurt to send pics to the artist and ask them.
-
All parts of the back are not equal. I almost fell asleep while my artist was working on my upper back. When he hit the love handles though, that smarts!
-
Do a search. It’s very common to initially regret a new tattoo. Do you know what a swastika looks like? I’ve never seen one that looked like that. Don’t do anything without giving it a few months. I’ve seen a lot of disasters caused by people rushing out to “fix” something. It a nice tattoo, enjoy it.
-
Blowout means the ink spread. You can’t unspread it.
-
+1 That thing is drowning, you need to let it dry out. At this point I wouldn't put anything on it, but the purpose of moisturizer is so it doesn't dry out. If it's shiny, you have too much. If it's not shiny, you still probably have to much.
-
Looks good. Leave it alone!!! A dark tattoo on dark skin, you’re going to wind up with a big unreadable mess if you keep screwing with it.
-
Have some of this and calm down! Seriously though, your tattoo is a disaster waiting to happen. The more you monkey with it, the worse it will look. If everyone else thinks it looks great, just accept it an move on. You are FAR more likely to make it worse, than make it better.
