Hello guys, I’m new here! I did this tattoo 3 days ago but the lines seem to be really blown out, I’m a bit worried, as I’m afraid it will get worst. Is there a fix for this type of blowout?

It’s way too early to tell... you’re going to need to give it a few weeks before you can assess it properly. 3 days is nothing in the scheme of healing a tattoo.

Also, blowout can’t be “fixed”... unless it’s covered or added to, to disguise. Give it time to heal and then see where you’re at.

Blowout means the ink spread. You can’t unspread it.

You "did" this tattoo three days ago? Who did it? You or an actual artist? Either way, a blowout is a blowout. Nothing you can do to "fix" it.

It’s a self tattoo, I did it myself as I’m practicing it, fixing I mean using a larger needle to “hide the blowouts”.

Jesus Christ. No. You're a scratcher. Stop doing this shit to yourself.

[oboogie]

Also, reported. Just no.

Wow. I’m glad you picked up on that @oboogie... I didn’t even put two and two together. Don’t come here asking for advice when you’re doing that shit yourself and taking a huge risk!

Wow! Don’t really understand it, I thought it was a forum for people help each other not judge. I’m doing some tattoo courses and decided to practice on myself instead of someone else. Crazy! I just wanted to ask diferente opinions.

[mention]oboogie [/mention] and I’m not a scratcher, I’m learning to tattoo, sorry if I wanted to try on real skin and asked advice about my skin blowout in a tattoo forum, didn’t expect it to be offensive! Neither be banned from the forum for asking!

@aibr you should be “practicing” on pig skin or something of that nature. 

[oboogie]

If you are learning to tattoo, you must be apprenticing somewhere?. If not? You're a scratcher.

Also, if you read the rules? We don't give tattooing advice here. It isn't what we do here.

There're right and wrong ways to do this.

The right way is to slog it out as a shop assistant, eat shit, pay your dues, then MAYBE earn the right to be an apprentice.

Then eat more shit, pay more dues, then MAYBE earn the right to tattoo.

 

Do it the right way.
