  1. Yep, looks fine. Let it heal for a couple of months. 6 months from now it'll be a lot lighter. Don't sweat the healing. No reason to make it complicated. Nice tattoo.
  2. Looks to be done well. How that lines up with the vision you had in your head originally it hard for us to evaluate, of course . . .
  3. You're also sitting through what was the worst parts, for me. Nice work!
  4. Yep. You're just going to have to wait a couple of months to see what it's really going to look like and if anything can be done to modify it.
  5. Just keep reviewing that photo! Wonderfully surrealistic work there. Again = who is doing that, and how much longer is expected?
  6. I think that'll just depend on how bright a color you are wanting to end up with.
  7. Hira does nice work! Congrats!

    Hello from CR

    A full picture of your arm would assist in seeing how much filler you will need, but I don't see any problem in a good neo-realism artist coming up with a nice background that will fill it out and tie it together. You might be over-thinking it.
  9. This. And more. I'm glad the lyrics I liked when I was 18-30 aren't on me now.
  10. If you're using moisturizer then stop.
  11. It might take more than 1-2 applications, but a lot can be done with coverups. Bottom line is what you are working with (but no photos . . . ?) and the ability of the artist (also an unknown to us at this stage . . . )
  12. Just depends on the quality of the tattooist. Some who do great realism artistically don't get enough ink down where it needs to be, and the resulting work will fade out in spots after a few years. Either find a tattooist whose quality you can verify by viewing years-old work or learn to judge saturation with your own eye.
  13. Fair warning - If you're going with the foot placement, it probably won't matter how you word it.
  14. Yep. Blowouts happen during the application, either from how the tattooist did it or how your skin reacted to it. Not afterwards.
  15. Personally I think that'd make it way too busy.
  16. skin's not red, so you're probably safe to wait it out and see.
  17. not sure where you would incorporate the geometrical, but a small amount of non-bright color accents won't hurt the presentation, if you want it.
  18. Didn't start late - but I am 61 and still at it!
  19. Shit. I'd have gone in just to gaze in wonder and have the remote possibility of shaking his hand and thanking him for all he's done for tattooing!!
