I guess age is a factor but I’m pretty young and even I am aware of the obvious.

But hey if you like it that’s all that matters.

Depends on how long ago it healed, but no..tanningis never pointless if you want to be rid of it. Whether it will do anything at all to it in the time it takes you to get it fixed, however, is a question.

I believe it is just about healed and it really depends on where I end up going for how long it will take. I think…[Read more]

Should I try going tanning or something to fade the tattoo? Or would that be pointless.

Oh wow had no idea, and I definitely agree.

Most great tattooist with waiting list aren’t going to want to fix someone else’s work unless they specialize in cover ups. Just because they have less to gain from working on someones crappy tattoo work so they may not want to do it.

Never feel that you are obligated to an artist just because they drew something up for you. I have looked at drawings and said “no thanks man heres an extra twenty for your trouble”.

It’s not like Heller is terrible, I just think he’s not quite as good as some of the others I mentioned. Not everyone will be willing to fix someone else’s work, too, without doing a complete coverup. Besides, anyone that’s been mentioned is better than the original artist of that piece anyway so regardless it’s going to be an…[Read more]

To be honest, I doubt you’ll hear from Chris Adamek. He’s booked pretty far out and he’s selective as to the projects he’ll take on. From Electric, Yak, Schweigert or Ryan are all real good although they do a lot of more traditional stuff. The more I think, William Webb at Evolution or Sean Zee would be great because their use…[Read more]

Electric Tattoo in NJ has some excellent artists, unfortunately the artist doing your sketch isn’t really one of them. If you want to go to a great artist in NJ, try looking up Sean Zee. I’m not sure exactly where he’s at and I don’t know if he keeps up with a website but trust me he’s incredible, especially with color pieces.…[Read more]

This is a sad tattoo. I’m sorry you got yourself into this, but making a quck-fix decision isn’t going to bail you out.

Dude I’m sorry you got a mess of a tattoo but rushing into “getting it fixed” is most likely got to get you a bigger pile of shit that will even be harder to fix.

I understand that sarcasm is hard to get over the internet, but it’s pretty obvious here.

Simple truth is your tattoo is really really bad. But like the other two said save money, find yourself a good artist and get it covered as soon as possible.

Sorry, wasn’t expecting such douche baggery on a tattoo forum tbh. And…[Read more]

If he’s iffy about it, you don’t want him doing it. Coverups aren’t like straight tattooing. You need to properly and correctly incorporate every line of what’s beneath into the new one above, because it will all show through in a sense. You need an artist that’s good at and used to covering up poor work with good…[Read more]

A Grand or Two? Well then I won’t be finished for a while but I can just get it done in bits and pieces. I have two artists sketching up redesigns for me at the moment, though one seems kind of iffy about just how much he’ll be able to fix which I don’t understand why if it is possible to just go over it.

I’m sorry, but you found yourself an awful tattooer, and the result fits the maker.

I guess the good thing is that it’s mostly so light that it could be covered completely with something good.

Thanks (As weird of a response as it seems). I’m tired of getting sugar coated answers. I love…[Read more]

Looks great.

Thanks for the help.
