shampoobottle Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Hello! I’ve wanted a birdcage tattoo for about ten years and I finally did it last month! However, it started blowing out the next day and the lines healed very crooked. I went back to see what he could do to fix it and he said outlining it in white ink would help 😕 I don’t like it. I had some flowers tattooed on my ankle last week and she did a great job! No blow outs or anything. I asked about cover up options and she said it was possible to cover it up and it’d be easy since it was small! What do you guys think?? We’re thinking of covering up the old one with a flower/leaves and adding a new birdcage beside it.

SStu Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 easily covered. Get used to the idea that it's going to be significantly larger - and send us a link to the intended artist.
