  1. Hey, thanks for your input! Here's how it's doing now. About 4 weeks now. Definetly not as bad as I thought it would, but not great either. I'll be waiting to get it fixed later in the year. Good thing is it still looks pretty good even if its pretty shit 😂 live and learn! This guy has done a couple full arm blackouts too so I really dunno what's up. It's hard to find someone who has much experience doing this type of work where I live. Have connected with another artist who has also done it and has decent healed pics, and am waiting on her advice too. Also, for fixing it, do you have to go over the whole thing again, or just the dodgy spots? How does using different black inks affect it? Guy wants to touch up in a month or two but yea I don't think my skin will be ready by then lol dya have an instagram I can follow? 🙂
  2. Yea I was under the impression 2-3 months should have been enough even. 1k at 250€ p/hour. Gonna be a looooooooooong couple weeks. 🙃🔫
  3. I wouldn't even say he went too hard, I genuinely believe my skin hadn't fully healed from the previous tattoo even though I waited 4 months. F***ing sucks. I don't even know if it's plausible to get it touched up by someone else (probably with different ink), and taking it safe and waiting a year post superficial healing, I'm certain it'll look like a shitty whole different patch shade of black. Absolutely fuming. How much would you guess I paid for this? 🙃
  4. Artist just told me I "probably didn't wash it good enough in that area, hence it created a thicker crust because more plasma accumulated" I honestly feel it's bullshit.. I washed and treated it all the same. Everyday it gets crustier. Still tons of plasma leaking from crust fissures. Extremely bummed out. I replied to your previous comment but forgot to quote so not sure you saw it. New to this forum format.
  5. Hey, I got a coverup over a 4 month old tattoo and have nasty ass crusty cookie feeling scabs. It's blackout so it's worse than yours too. What I think happened in my case is that my skin hadn't fully healed as me and my artist thought it had. Maybe that's the same for ya? Mines crusty with a big layer kf plasma beneath, still quite swollen and painful in the area over the previous piece. Sucks to have to baby it through and pray for a decent end result. I'd have waited a year before covering it if I knew 4 months wouldn't be enough. 😑 Just keep treating it well and hope for the best. Worst case you'll have to get it touched up later on.
  6. Just wanna say, don't cover up anytime soon if you intend to. I waited 4 months to coverup and shits still got hella scabby and it's healinf pretty shitty on top of the previous tattoo. If i knew now, I'd wait a year.
  7. Yea I'll be waiting and babying it thru. Just bummed it's not healing as I expected and probably gonna be a mess underneath 😔 shits reaaaaaaally crusty, never seen this anywhere before. Feels like I have a choc chip cookie on my arm lol I definetly thought 4 months would've been enough for my skin to be fully healed and ready to coverup, but I don't think it was. Probably gonna wait 6months to a year before I risk going to touch it up if need be. It was 4 months old.
  8. So I had a big colored tattoo on my forearm which I regretted. Went for a couple black out bands to cover it up. Probably with one of the best artists in the country, won multiple prizes and has a really baffling portfolio, mostly realism. Now this shit was painful to tattoo, especially over the old tattoo. Now as it's healing, most of it is fine and looks normal, thin flaking forming, no more plasma oozing, no redness or swelling. But the part over the old piece is just terrible. Still hurts, doesn't allow me to fully strech my arm comfortably, has rrally thick crusty scabbing which is still oozing plasma underneath as I clean it. Cleaning 3x a day and moisturising too. Wearing no clothes over it and sleeping with my arm suspended so it basically never touches anything. Artist told me it definitely looks thicker than expected, but to just keep babying it and cleaning/moisturising religiously. I think my skin hadn't healed enough to be covered 😔 Hoping this comes out not terrible and hopefully it stops hurting/oozing soon. I don't think it's infected despite being occasionally red if I move a lot, still slightly swollen..i have no chills, fever, and I think its only oozing plasma as therr seems to be a thick layer of it beneath the scab. What's y'all thoughts? Pics are after washing, before moisturising.
