friends cousin did tattoos his pieces look nice on his facebook ….but MINE DOESNT! its not even centured in the middle if it is possible how big will it have to be to be a nice star? will it have to be filled in? anyone have any ideas
just coloring the whole inside? at a tattoo shop ofcourse
the fact that it’s not centered is killer… to make that work I believe you’re going to need a very good artist, just because you’re walking into your local tattoo shop doesn’t mean you’re talking to a good artist, remember that. That said, swing by a couple and see what their ideas are…my guess (and I don’t have one artistic bone in my body) is that the artists will suggest a combo laser/the cover up.
May I ask though, why would you get a tattoo outside of a real shop? Especially since some people aren’t even happy with the work they get inside shops. I’m really just curious.

i ask myself the same thing bro….. could be that im 17 and lets say ignorant? should have waiting ….. I was thinking of having it filled in? bigger ofcourse to possibly make it straight? how much would it cost per sesh do u think to lazor it off? its only a few days old can i do anything to fade it?
A few days old might be a few too many because it’s the first couple that are most critical to healing, but a rule of thumb is doing everything to the piece that you’re not supposed to….soak it in some nice hot water, get some sun, and the like…
I think the problem with just having it filled in is that since it’s off center the new star would basically have to consume the old star and be big enough to be center at the same time. From what I see in the pic it looks like the piece is offset to the pictures right, so I’m guessing an artist would recommend getting the right half of the star lazered(right half being the right side of the pictured image) so they could downsize the overall size of the coverup star.
Costs of a lazer session…I have no f*#king idea honestly.
I just dont see how he did so bad on mine when these roses look nice

That will be a simple fix for a good artist. You have good space around it. People do all kinds of stupid crap so no need to kick yourself. Concentrate on the fix. If it were me(and it was a time or 2) i would do some research to get an idea of what i would like then find a good artist who will sketch a few ideas for me to see. Could be as simple as a better star or a complete cover. Mostly depends on you.
It will not remove it but should lighten up the color which will only help with the cover up. It certainly cannot hurt and now is the best time to start using it since your tattoo is so new you should get the best effect out of it. Give it a shot. 1 or 2 shades lighter will make a big difference for the cover. I am not a tattoo artist, just a collector with 40 or so and still counting for some reason.
You want to rub toxins/poisons/acids/whatever into your open wounds? Go right ahead dude… it can’t hurt at all!
As for filling it up, that would not look good in my opinion.
