I don’t doubt it, his work looks amazing.
Oh yeah the wait is nothing, if it’s really only till June then that would be great.
So I went to Electric Tattoo today and although he fixed the head the rest wasn’t really different. He really didn’t seem too sure about the whole deal so I think I’ll wait to hear back from Tim. If he can fix it for me I’d definitely go with him.
Everyone I’ve talked to seems to have a serious problem doing it but hopefully since he specializes in cover ups he shouldn’t struggle as much with it.
I was under the impression that with the light coloring it shouldn’t be too difficult to fix up, but they all seem really hesitant. Again, most likely because they generally don’t do Cover Ups.
He didn’t show me how the colored product will look (Do artists generally not do this? Because the first guy didn’t either which was the major problem…), but judging by the outline it didn’t seem like he planned on changing much at all other than the head and some of the flames by the tail.
As I said the guys at Electric weren’t really for it, another small place I checked out was basically useless. Here’s what Sean Zee told me:
“Yeah that would be super hard to cover because of all the stuff that was black outlined. It’s super stiff looking so that makes it really hard to cover and actually give it some life so it flows with your muscle structure and bone structure. Your best bet would be to have just the black outline lazered once or twice being the orange and yellow wouldn’t matter and then work something new over it. At this point with what you have you would be stuck with the same stiff shape and that’s not the type of work I do.”
He also offered to hook me up with a friend of his to do the lasering for me rather than an expensive dermatologist that would do minimal work, but I’d prefer to not if I dont have to, which is why I want to speak to Tim first.
That should ring all sorts of bells right there. Any layperson that claims that they can do the job of a medically trained professionals, better and cheaper, is lying through their teeth.
“I’d set you up with my buddy who does all my lazering and all the top tattoo artists in the world…”
I don’t know, it does really seems like he’s trying to sell him.
First, I’ve been tattooed by Sean Zee and he was really cool and seemed like an upstanding guy. I doubt he’d send you to someone who couldn’t do the work professionally.
I also wonder how this has been talked about with artists because I’m hearing two different things I think…”fix” and “coverup”. I might be wrong but as far as I know these are two different things and most artists don’t want to touch (fix) someone else’s work unless they’re given freedom to do an entire cover. So if you talk to Pangburn I think it’s important to convey you want a coverup not just fixing the existing piece. Although it seems Zee understood you wanted a coverup.

If they can fix it without doing an entire cover up that’s fine but if that’s what it takes I’m perfectly fine with it. In my message to Pangburn I made it clear that I was looking for a cover up, and I’m just waiting a response now. If I don’t hear from him tomorrow I might message him on facebook.
And I haven’t completely knocked Zee off of the list, but like I said if Pangburn can do it without any removal I’d be all for it.
