Looks really good. Also it’s just a tattoo. Don’t expect too much from it. I’d be happy if I had that piece.

Sorry I don’t see any blowout and the tattoo looks perfect. I really like it. Start planning for your next one.

I have some hustle butter. That did seem to work a little. Still think I’m going to see can add more black in the lined areas of the wings. I’m afraid some of these lines aren’t going to age well.
Yeah man nothing is really permanent. Glad to see you got two amazing pieces that flow well together. Your artist is talented.

They lighten up bc a layer of skin grows over it. U can make them pop more with some hustle butter.

the blowout should fade a bit but will still be noticeable. i have some minor blowout but nothing major. some people stated that laser removal can fix some blowout but i have never seen a legit post of after pics from someone

was the blowout noticeable at time of the tattoo or much later?

Thanks! Just had some comments from men about it being an odd choice for a woman to put on her body lol
Some ppl are just clueless. It looks amazing.

tylenol might be a good option since it can cut down the swelling and won't thin ur blood? Curious about ibuprofin too and also what the artist would rec

I waited 2 years for my left leg appointment.
On the other hand, $400/hr pushes even my boundaries . . . top notch around here (New Orleans, Houston and Austin) is $175-200. Obviously SOCal is another story . . .
even for socal, i've seen on the higher end $200. even some of the big names when traveling are $200 an hr for first 3-4 hrs and $300 an hr for extra time over that in a single session. but things are different now it seems.

thank you, but it just didn't turn out the way i had envisioned, its way too simple and has no life too it. i'm just too critical of it because its on my body and I have to see it every day you know?
they usually don't turn out how you envisioned it. part of working with an artist is to give them refs and tell them what u want and what u like and don't like and let them run with it. see jeff gogue's surrender documentary. you just have to let go after a certain point. if u want exactly what u envision in ur mind, u should learn to tattoo and tattoo urself imho.

I had one done recently on inner bicep. Part near armpit was kinda painful but after breaking a tibia in the past, the overall pain of the tattoo was more annoying than actually painful.

looks good to me. artist interpretation. they will do what they think will look best. yours looks great. overthinking. you're lucky u didn't do what i did and tell my artist after it was finished to adjust a few things and it actually made it worse lol. for best outcome, pick a good artist, trust your artist, let them do their thing, don't micromanage. they're not going to do a carbon copy of a design on your body. it's a compromise in many ways between what they think looks best and what u want exactly.
-
Ask the artist if the design would work in that placement. Certain designs warp when in curvy spots some more robust.

Any artists with a similar style to Paul Dobleman in southern california? More of that turn of the century traditional style. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dan for the links! I'm interested in american traditional style. Actually been trying to book with one of the artists from outer limits. Are there any artists who specialize in more of a turn of the century style american traditional like Paul Dobleman? Socal has a wide variety of artists and lots of them but places like NY and SF seem to have more defined styles in the traditional genre.
Many thanks!
