Feet are different healing because generally there is reduced bloodflow that far from your heart. IMHO you're going to have to give it another 2-4 weeks

15th Annual Bay Area Tattoo Convention
SStu replied to Dan's topic in LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions
Wow. So many amazing shops all concentrated in one room. So much world class talent. -
I don't think it could be a stand-alone "C". It'd have to have some kind of filled in surround or background. You might just want to cover that with something professional and get your "C" somewhere else.
-
I could just be a difference in skin type, elasticity, etc. The darkness behind the lines might just be bruising, too. In any case it'll take 4-6 weeks for you to know what you've really got there. Did the same artist do both?
-
looks like you're getting in in there . . .
-
New here! Is this normal for healing? Black lines darker than fill.
SStu replied to misdy's topic in Initiation
yep. 4-6 weeks minimum. -
welcome!

welcome! You've got lots of options. Easy enough to incorporate even more flowers and patternwork/mandalas around what you've got now.

15th Annual Bay Area Tattoo Convention
SStu replied to Dan's topic in LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions
lifetime experience @Dan! AND an awesome addition. -
nice work, @tcgjake! Especially love the seeing eye.
-
there's nothing about the tattoo in that photo that looks abnormal
-
I'm not familiar with anyone specifically replicating it.
-
Yep. Just leave it alone.

I found the old thread from 2014 and was going to link it here but for some reason the photobucket pictures are now blurred out (by photobucket?), so no real point, I guess. Anyway I had about 25-30% of my whole back done in 4-5 x 30-40 minute sessions. Just lightened it enough to give the cover-up artist freedom to not make it an obvious cover-up.
-
Ugh. Brings back painful memories . . .

welcome!
-
Yeah, there are infinite options - especially if you are open to a tattoo larger than just the scar area.
-
It might, but you'd at least have to have a very capable artist who is skilled in single needle covers.
-
With either of those pictures, the only way that circle is going to disappear is for the panda to be big enough for your old tattoo to fit entirely into the darkest area of the panda - and that'd be quite large and really weird overall placement.
-
Yeah, I've had scabbing like that. You'll be fine as long as you don't end up knocking or picking them off. Don't saturate the scabs with water or ointments.

Welcome!

Some of this falls into that category of art . . . https://www.instagram.com/equilattera/

Never seen that before. Personally I'd lay off lotions/ointments and let it dry out. Not much else you can do as long as it doesn't look/feel infected.

Poor application or damage during healing, as far as I know . . .
