I can relate to this topic pretty well. Before I had my work done in the prison system, I was sitting in the county jail about 13 years back, getting drunk on some "hooch." I was sitting down getting my first tattoo done with a pick. I had no clue of what I was getting, it turned out to look like a christian symbol with a circle around it. It was an embarrassment for a long time. Then I tried to have someone cover it up, and it turned to an even bigger embarrassment! My advice that I learned from my mistake is to get multiple ideas from multiple artist from here on out, because everyone has different ideas and a different style. Hence, this forum is great because you can get ideas from every different angle!

I have some old tattoos that sometimes get a little angry, but i usually attribute it to my eczema, sun exposure, or some other factor. I'm sure pairing those things with ink and traumatized areas of skin don't help... but it sure looks cooler than eczema on blank skin! 😉

Stephanie is so good. @tattooedchk!

Fuji's clouds are gorgeous his work with gray is perfection.

Here's a rubbish photo I took session before last one when had begun adding the patterns on her kimono... Have been adding the red on her kimono on the back of my right thigh since. This Instagram post of Horifuji's I linked below shows the whole thing (but older photo than the one I posted above) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1efdE9h-0s/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
