in the second one i see it looks like the letters are beveling outwards… that’s neat but i know that tattoos do tend to stick a lil and you can feel the lines when ya touch em.. do ya suspect there is just more ink in the tatt and thats why it stick out more?

or are you talking about something totally different?

i don’t quite get what u r asking, first tattoo it’s a nature piece in black&gray, don’t realy have a name, second one it’s just lettering. how do u call what exactly hun?? 2 completly different tats , one is shaded another totaly black, one is a picture another … letters

oh ok… daaa… soz i’m blond and polish:) they are both fresh means picture was taken not long after tattooing* so the skin underneath is a bit swalen that’s why it looks like dat. there’s a little bit more ,,digging” as i call it with the needle involved in colouring than shading. oh.. and ones it’s healed it won’t look like that anymore. surface of the skin will go back to beeing like before the tattoo, flat just with ink inside

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

Both of those tatts seem quite fresh, it does take some time for the swelling to naturally go down. The lettered tattoo looks VERY fresh, which could explain the height of the letters, although it’s possible it was redone, yet, it still looks a bit swollen to me. I have a couple tattoos that were done with an extremely heavy hand, and appear raised, which causes scarring creating that “beveled” look. On the other hand, that amount of scarring could depend on a persons skin; your body will absorb alot of ink, I don’t think any professional artist would put enough ink in to raise anyone’s skin, aside from being unhealthy practice, it would trash a tattoo. I would consider that the mark of a tattoo artist that doesn’t have a very good technique yet.

Just my opinion.
