  1. That's why you do your research BEFORE you get a tattoo.
  2. Actually, you didn't say any of that in the post I responded to. I QUOTED what you said. Maybe you MEANT something different, but you didn't SAY it. I can only respond to what's posted, I'm not a mind reader.
  3. Yes and No. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. You've got a huge amount of solid black in there. I don't see how anyone could work with it. I'd be very leery about going to an artist that said they could.
  4. In general you are right, in this case though, are you really arguing that it's the client's responsibility to tell the artist that they want it readable and don't mess up the negative space? Does anyone want a big bold tattoo that's unreadable with messed up negative space?
  5. If you didn't see multiple examples of his work in the style you wanted, then you are to blame. But in the end it doesn't really matter because you are the one who has to wear the tattoo.
  6. 1) it will fade, but not in a week. It's not even healed! 2) It is a nice tattoo 3) If you're worried about what people will think, it's too late for that. This is why you think about the ramifications of getting a tattoo BEFORE you get one.
  7. A leopard in a cave eating a chocolate bar!
  8. Not trying to shit on your new tattoo, but none of those lines are clean and there is a lot of ink bleeding over the lines. You need to know what makes a good and bad tattoo or you'll wind up with another one.
  9. No, your best course of action is laser to get it as light as possible and a cover up. And next time find a really good artist.
  10. Do you have stock in that website? All of your posts seem to drive traffic there.
  11. Probably because it was done by an apprentice. Apprentice means they are still learning. They are learning on you.
  12. No matter how many times they ask, or how they phrase the question.
  13. Scummy scammers are not welcome here. A lie is a bad first post.
  14. I doubt it would help. Everybody thinks THEIR situation is different. But what if, but what if, but what if, but what if ...
  15. SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS. This is the most asked question on the forum. No matter how you phrase it, how many times you ask it, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for a tattoo to heal and until it's healed you won't know what it is going to look like. No sense staring at it, thinking about touchups or anything else.
  16. It's the artist's responsibility to educate their clients about what works and what doesn't, as well as the risk of how a tattoo could turn out. I wouldn't use that artist again anyway. Look closely at those lines and the saturation.
  17. No matter how you ask or phase your question, the answer is always the same - in trying to fix it, you'll almost certainly make it worse.
  18. It's going to be a mess if you try to fix it.
  19. There is NOTHING you can do until it heals. Wait 6 - 8 weeks, then IF it needs fixing, see the artist that gave you the tattoo. You know that the ink goes UNDER the skin, right? 6 - 8 weeks, no matter how many times you ask, or how you rephrase the question. Good luck.
  20. Go forth and exercise. I wrap it in Saran Wrap. Just a little A&D ointment to keep it moist.
  21. Have a drink of your favorite adult beverage or a hit of your favorite unprescribed pharmaceutical and relax. Tattoo regret is common and will go away. The only thing wrong with that tattoo is that you’re overthinking it.
  22. Not worrying about it doesn't change the facts. Too much sun causes skin cancer and your tattoos to fade.
  23. They don't want advice, they want validation.
  24. If it sounds too good to be true it is. Why is he giving away free tattoos?
