I was looking at one artist who charged $300 for the first hr then $200 thereafter. I didn’t think this rate was reasonable.

For me I wanted to cover a black/grey tattoo with pinks, whites and magenta so it was important that the original tattoo be faded. I hate seeing the original tattoo through the new one. I mean why bother if the coverup is going to look like a half ass attempt.

You are so young and the chances you will even be with this person in 10 years is pretty slim. Plus, how can someone so young already be done with tattooing?
