Hey, tattoo in progress, looking for opinions

[tsuk]

hey guys

the color on the pectoral isnt healing very well and theres a lot (to me) of color loss

im sure a touch up can fix it, but do you have any idea what i could be doing wrong or is this just bad luck ?

heres the picture, the other blue line under has been tatoued the same day

It'll take a while before you know for sure, but it could just be an application problem. It's not necessarily what you are or aren't doing. 

[tsuk]

thanks, well worst case it ll need a touch up right ? I mean is there anything a touch up cant fix here ?

sorry about the newbies questions

[SStu]

Yep. Might just need to pack some more color in there. 

[oboogie]

Yeah, you'll need a touch up. It happens sometimes. 

[tsuk]

Alright thanks guys i really appreciate you both taking the time to answer those type of questions im sure youve answered a lot already

i ll let you know how it goes 

[tsuk]

not healing well at all

some more ink has fallen and it is red underneath

no itching whatsoever

probably taking an appoitement to a dermatologist

[tsuk]

so its improving slowly, didnt see a doctor afterall , ill get pics in a few days

no idea what happened though life is a mistery

Hey bro, lookin good   I’m not into tribal art on myself but I like looking at others work. You sure went all in for your first tattoo and didn’t go wrong with art or artist I’d say. 

Others have answered your question, but I would’ve definitely told you to stay with that artist if you were happy, changing in the middle of a project would probably not deliver the outcome you wanted. One artist one style ..

i have 8 tattoos plus my left arm sleeve and I was worried like you were in the beginning, but I don’t even think about it until around 3 weeks for a truer finished product. I just use a lotion with a skin protective active ingredient like lotion from hospital, keep it moist but not overly as that can bring out the ink from my experience. I normally use lotion twice a day until the peeling is almost done then once a day after showering then when needed once peeling is done. Also shaving the hair off will give you the true look oppose to having a slightly distorted look from hair being over it. I shave my arms only after it’s healed about once every 2 weeks so they look the best. Good luck to you

i ll get the tattoo done (still need the opposite forearm done) then ill probably ask someone with more experience to do the next one, i m very pleased with his work but i think it could be better

[Heathen Owl Ink]

It looks great. Nice and clean enjoy it.

[tsuk]

Alright so this is the part that went red, its now a pretty good loss of color but thats about it

 

getting this baby finished this week got 3 sessions planned, cant waiti ll let you know !

[oboogie]

Looking forward to seeing it, tsuk!

[tsuk]

daaamn, had a 2,5 hours session scheduled today and the artist actually stopped after 1,5 hours and gave me my money back, called it a day he had back pain

i'm so disapointed to be honest : P

next session is in 4 days, 2 days back to back, getting the forearm done hopefully

also i showed this to the artist and he said he probably went too hard with the needle, if that can be of any help for anyone : P

Unfortunately i really blew the tattoo up with working out again and its gonna need some touch up to straighten the lines again but hey cant do anything about it

So i wanted to do the opposite forearm only but the artist made a sketch of a full arm which i liked a lot so we ended up doing it

Thats 9 hours of work 

[tsuk]

Lots of time spend drawing though
