Actually, Wicked Ink, with all due, that is how it works sometimes. I’ve done plenty of dark skin in my 15 + years and can say with certainty that, provided that her skin is the type to discolor white or pastels rather than reject them (which many do!), she CAN use the end result to her advantage. As you confirmed, it all…[Read more]

Well if the tattoo has “scabbed” and started peeling that means the risk for infection is nearly gone. The scabs are your body’s natural bandage protecting it from harm. One thing i would worry about it pulling or rubbing off the “scabs” too prematurely. Because even if it doesnt look like it would affect it sometimes those scabs can pull a bit of…[Read more]

I guess it depends on weather or not they will be outlined in black, or just the actual color of the sprinkle, and also which color the backdrop for the sprinkles is. If they aren’t outlined with black and the background color is similar too the sprinkle color then its possible down the road to have them “blend” together. i think if there is…[Read more]

Well, white ink is going to turn lighter. Probably some kind of peach or yellow. So what if you did a layer of white, let it heal, see what color it turns, and just use that color for the top? Meaning to use a complimentary color such as pastel yellow, yellow-red or pastel green atop the healed white? It might not be very…[Read more]

I think your out of luck. The problem is (to put it simply) the ink is in the middle of all your layers of skin. When you first get a tattoo, the ink is more visible on the surface of the skin (which is also why is some pictures color looks good AT FIRST) … As that skin peels, and then new (dark) skin heals over the top of the tattoo, even…[Read more]

The key was done in traditional “old school” style (simple design, bold line work, heavy black shading). I would stick with the same style or the key is going to look out of place. Typically roses, nautical stars, Anchors, swallows, stuff like that are used in traditional designs. Hope it helps.

I would avoid the big touristy shops like Hart and Huntington and VNI. All though they do good work, they are also able to charge a ridiculous amount due to their locations on the strip. I personally would research some of the shops “off the strip” and away from the hype of vegas. I know there is an extreme amount of talent their.

White over black isnt possible, but i guess it would depend on how poorly the first attoo was done, and how much of the ink is still there. Like Butterfly said, we would really need to see it to tell you for sure!

I wouldn’t worry about it, It looks like he did a good job. The reason it looks that way is because you didn’t choose symetrical designs. They vary in size and shape so they won’t look “even”. Also, if you thought they were crooked, you get the chance to look at the transfer pattern on your body before the artist starts, so you should have…[Read more]
