@Hogrider Here’s the end result! 
I absolutely love it and love what my artist did to “spice” it up a bit 
 

As long as we're not talking about a new tattoo (healed at least 4-6 weeks), sunscreen is how I go. 

so the first and best advice I can offer is to not go back to that tattooer,I think a better tattooer could rework that into a good tattoo, and sometimes there is scar tissue, from a bad application of the tattoo.

Finally finished my ribs. 3 hour session last week, I kept looking at the bottle of numbing crème, but held out. My artist offered it a couple of times, but I said I wanted to “earn” it.
I’ll post a pic when it heals.
I have two sessions left and my body suit will be complete. I’ve been chipping away at it for 12 years. I can’t believe it’s almost done.

@Hogrider got what you're saying, the quotes are important for me but i do agree with changing it to dodge mistakes and blowouts,
so first of all, about finding the font, it is something that i spoke to my artist about, and he said that we would sit on it and find something that fits us both. And because I like to "do my homework" I am doing a bit of research beforehand
secondly, took to attention about the problematic areas, so what if I do something like this? (attached a new design), this way I have some more room for manipulation of size and position , as well as avoiding those wrist and elbow ditches
is this better?

The placement Looks better, but thin lines just don’t usually hold up long term.
However, it’s your tattoo and you should get what you want as long as you understand the risks.
Good luck, and please post it when it’s done!

He probably tries to sell vegeburgers at a cattle rancher’s barbecue.

and I was just the opposite, lol. 

shading is easier than lining IMO, especially if it's done in 2 sittings

My latest rescue (actually, took almost a year and a half.) 1972 Triumph Trident T150V.

congrats on both !

Pleased to report I was able to retire this past fall . . and that meant feeling comfortable about FINALLY getting my forearms done. Fully healed now so here they are:

Artist: Randy Muller, Eye Candy - New Orleans

My friend is putting on his 3rd annual Possum Gatherjng in Sevierville at their fairgrounds May 12 & 13. Expect some beautiful machines. If you are into vintage bikes or vintage bikers, they will be there, along with display of old stationary engines.

Started my fudo backpiece today! Pain level was different from other areas I’ve had done. Not necessarily worse, but because it varies so greatly over different areas of the back, that makes it hard to get into a rhythm and settle in. Besides that, looking forward to getting cracking on this thing in the coming months!

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objective, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Most definitely, especially when they never seem to heal consistently and everyone has a different opinion on healing etc! Don't get me started on Google, according to Google I should be dead 🤣

First post is shilling your site. Wham, Bam, thank you Ma'am, don't even buy us a drink first.
This is the equivalent of walking into a bar and saying, "Hey, I have a bar down the street, come on down there to drink." It's just Fckn rude.

it will probably be fine when it completely heals in a month or 2
