Good luck on your next appointment!

Is this artist someone you really want?  You've seen the work and you're excited?

Yes and yes. 2 good friends have been to him and their tattoos are amazing. One in particular had a tattoo re-done/re-worked by him and I've seen the before and after pictures so I'm very excited.

Thanks Gingerninja! (love your user name btw; that's why I call my son! Ginger and proud!)

Just got back and cleaned up... bled like a bugger and it's bloody sore but oh so worth it!

Couldn't finish it all today, I didn't think he would to be fair but he got more than half of it done so should only be a couple of hours next time. I'm delighted with it, absolutely amazed at what he's done and the difference he's made. He's only a young lad too, only 23 - as I said to him; "my first tattoo is older than you!"

Before on the left (obviously!); after on the right.

Do you like it? Are those bruises around it or shading?

I love it! It's shading :) apart from the bit just below the shading below the rose which you can see was a bit bloody and has now bruised a little.

I am so happy for you! <3

I'm glad you are happier with it now!

Wow, it looks really cool!

Step 2 of my cover up/re-work journey done today:

Before is the red/pink flowers and after is the (slightly angry and a little bloody still) black/grey.

I'm really happy with how it's looking  Still got some more shading and finishing off to do, plus the first rose needs going over again as a lot of the original red has popped back out as it's healed. I'm back in another 3 weeks for another 2 hours and hopefully that should be it done then.

I’m sorry! I am also feeling that way, about a new, small tattoo that I got on my ankle. I hope that you find somebody who can design some different elements that will make you happy with it

[Gardengingerlily]

I just saw the changes. Looks much better. I’m glad that you are feeling more comfortable

[Alicia]

Thanks! I'm so glad I got it re-done... life's too short to live with a tattoo that makes you sad!

I'm booked in next month for my next one... excitement starting to build again.
