Don't.  Thanks.

Don't.  Thanks.

I had some weird bumps come up in the color shading of one of my tattoos, and ended up vitamin E oil on the spots.  That helped clear them up quite a bit, although it was certainly a different case than what you have.  Still might be worth a shot if you don't get any other answers...

My humble addition!
 It has a bit of glue (after second skin application) on it still. 

mine is a bit different, but I got it well after she died. it's a minogame: a Japanese folk turtle with seaweed on its back, surrounded by waves and maple leaves. it represents felicity and longevity, and for me it represents my mother who liked fall and the ocean.
death sucks, death sucks so much, but at least we can get nice tattoos

I don't think it's uncommon to have mixed emotions like this after altering your body.  I know I've certainly had it with at least one tattoo, and it had nothing to do with the quality of it.  I quickly got over it and began enjoying the new way I look. 
Got a picture of it?  We like pictures 'round here...

Hi.  Why do you care?

Get the tattoo you want, not the one you can get now.  Like @Gingerninja already said.  I'd stop in the shop one of these days and see if you can talk with Natasha in person.
 
edit: @Hogrider beat me to it, and then some!

haha thank you @Gingerninja ! I've definately been thinking outside the box now with my new tattoo ideas, and i've got some more crazy ideas brewing.
no laser, no coverups...i just keep piling on the tattoos and it seems to be working out in my favour.  I love it. my excitement of tattooing just keeps growing and the experiences become more personal as me and my tattooists push the boundary of where you would think the concept of "bodysuit" would typically end/finish.

You're probably not going to get a good answer here, and you'll probably have to be a bit less secretive if you want to get a straight answer from any reputable artists.  This is the type of question that (to me) only seems relevant to: elementary school "what I want to be when I grow up" reports, actual tattooists, or someone trying to leech off the industry.  Good luck.

Yeah, I am not going to touch this topic. While I am not opposed to using numbing cream(s) if you feel the need and your artist agrees, venturing off into any drug discussion that references tripping isn't for me. I am much more interested in your back piece.

The first part of my journey comes to an end after 3 years. Chris Crooks finished my entire back today. Time to start saving for the front!

At least you didn't get a tattoo of Uranus.

IMO it wouldn't look nearly as good without the shading.  It's a nice tattoo, just leave it be.

well, squid pants getting the layers...finished my Five Deadly Venoms themed thigh tattoo collage ! 
My homie Rich Harding (Champion Tattoo Edmonton, AB) whipped in some some smoke-grey shading behind the 2nd layer black widow spider and centipede he did last month.. The spider webbing is layered on top of my 9 year old p-knee tattoos. really tied everything together and am very happy with the results. it is healing great.

 
...and then I had the very exciting, rare and unique opportunity to tattoo myself for the first time. I did the top square inch of red background behind the 5 year old yin-yang auspicious spider. Rich said, you've got all these tattoos budd, you need to fill in at least a small part of your bodysuit on your own.


Quitting my day job...SORRY BOOKS CLOSED UNTIL 2022 haha

My awesome news...my new hearing aids will be in next week! F you brain tumor! I am so looking forward to the possibility of hearing people again. Then, I can ignore them if I want to. 🙂

Finally snapped some pics of my squidpant-in-progress.  Pretty sure all of these tattoos have been posted on LST, just not all healed and together.  While I'm looking forward to adding more to it, I'm also really happy with where it's at at the moment...
