Lucky Malony

Hey everyone,

So I got a tattoo done about 6 months ago and everything seems to be just dandy. However, in the near future or more likely within the next 6 months I hope I can get it "redone" or touched up.

More specifically, I have a whole bunch of red in a spiral around and behind a symbol. Don't get me wrong, I am not unhappy with it at all. However, I would like there to be more. What I would like to be done is, instead of a red spiral, is fire surrounding, or spinning around (obviously in the direction of the red spiral.)

Now, my question.

Would it be possible to do a flame design over red ink? Such as put yellow and a little orange over top? Or would the red just show through?

If so, would it take a lot of ink and potentially more than one session to get it done? Or could it be done fairly easily?

If maybe, how much red would show through?

If not, well, looks like I'll have to figure something else out then eh?

Thanks for all your help and advice!!

Hi there,

Those are probably questions you should take to your artist. There's a lot of questions that need to be answered by you before anyone here could answer yours, and that would be so much easier in person. Where is your tattoo? How big is it? How much space is around it? How much bigger would you be willing to go?

Generally speaking, though, if there's enough room to expand, and you don't mind going a bit bigger, I'm sure your artist could accommodate your request. Not much help, I know, but seriously, go talk to your artist.

@Lucky Malony I've been following you on tumblr, you make some nice tattoos!! Holla from the PNW, and welcome to LST!

@beez Thanks for the welcome, and for following. I'm not sure how I missed this site, but I'm glad I know of it now.

Sure am. @lucky_malony

Hi all.

My name is Lucky Malony and I work at Anatomy Tattoo in Portland, Oregon. I've been tattooing for 15 years. I like tattoos that look like tattoos. Not sure what else to put on here.

Here are some recent tattoos and paintings that I've made.
