Congrats on both! Tattoo looks amazing

Do your advertising elsewhere. This site is for people who want to discuss tattoos, not the junk you want to sell.

Your first post is an ad for your shitty product that no one wants. Go spam another forum.

We need to see some of his coverups. Just because he says he can do it doesn't mean he actually can.

Why not send a link to his work. It could help you avoid a mistake, or reassure you.

Yep. Patience. You can find someone who can re-work the tattoo into something more cohesive, but don't rush into it - and after you've narrowed down your prospects, post links to their work here. We'll help you vet.

That absolutely can be made into a beautiful tattoo, so I wouldn't worry about that I found my artist through referrals from friends and I happened to meet him at a tattoo convention. I am really trying to caution you to slow down. It's June now. You should do anything until it's at least 8 weeks old, so you really shouldn't be working on it again until August at the earliest. Most good artists are going to have a waiting list. My artist has a 2 to 3 month wait, even though I've been going to him for more than 10 years. Seriously, I'd recommend watching a season or two of Ink Master. Not that they don't have plenty of awful tattoos, but the judges tell you what to look for in a tattoo, why a tattoo is good, or why it's bad. Look around your area and when you find someone you like, post links to their work here and people will let you know what they think. I'd still like to see a link to your artist. If I don't know what you were looking at, it's really hard to tell if you missed warning signs, or if they just cherry picked their work that they posted. One of the purposes of this web site is to help people get good tattoos.

The best advice my artist ever gave me was “don’t look at it through a microscope. You can find something wrong with every tattoo if you look hard enough.” I look at the big picture and love all my tattoos.

I’m not a tattoo artist, but given how small that is, I wouldn’t let him start working on it again in less than a month. As to the colors, you can’t judge a half done, unhealed tattoo. I doubt it will ever be as vibrant as that pic.

Can’t go wrong with tigers and panthers. The bigger the better.
