VenomX Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Hi guys. Just had another tattoo ( star-sign on my arm ) The artist had to keep going over the same area because the skin was too thick and said i may have to go in for a touchup once its healed because he didn't want to cause too much trauma to my arm. It looks pretty much perfect, just one line is slightly thicker than the other, should be an easy job to do. Has anybody else had this experience ? Thanks Edited June 18, 2019 by VenomX Alexandria1998 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8461-thick-skin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Never heard that one. Overworking an area will cause trauma. Picture of the area? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8461-thick-skin/#findComment-143464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomX Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) It looks a bit smudged on the photo, looks fine in real though ( my phone cam is terrible ) Edited June 18, 2019 by VenomX Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8461-thick-skin/#findComment-143471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC1961 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I was curious, so I did a little googling. The only places on our bodies that have what is classified as thick skin is places that see abrasion, like finger tips, palms and soles of your feet. So ya, they were feeding you BS. 💩 oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8461-thick-skin/#findComment-143476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomX Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm sure he said it was " thick " and may need touching up later. So far i'm delighted with it and will have to see how it heals 😄 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8461-thick-skin/#findComment-143477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandria1998 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 This is 100% true. My tattoo artist also said I had thick skin and had do go over the lines. A previous artists said the needles weren’t going through my skin and pushed harder - causing a blowout. This skin can be found on places other than your extremities as my tattoo is on my ribs. The successful tattoo artist has been working for over 10 years and has only encountered it a couple times, BUT IT IS A THING.
