I have started on a tattoo i wanted for years. The artist has done it way to black !! not shaded it well and its been rushed. Im getting depressed about this.
I have taken it to another artist this morning and he said ‘ oh S*&T’ !! He said he can shade it much better and we decided on negative waves around the wrist crashing into the tat. He said it will take 2 hours to fix. Honestly do you think it will look good?

Does it look too black? what colours will make it better. HELP before you read about me shooting myself in the head !! Joke.
But please be nice !
Personally, I like it. But, if you think the black is too dark there is a cream I used and it made my purple lighter. I kinda figured this out on accident, but it really lightened the purple. Muprirocin 2%. I’m pretty sure you will need a prescription for it. I’m not a pro or a doctor, but I used this cream during the healing process and my tat was lightened a WHOLE lot. As far as colors, I always like blues and greens.
Hi
First of all it is not that bad – yes it is very heavy shading but with some white highlighting along the edges and fine outlining at the edges of the tattoo it will look a whole lot better.
I keep saying it but ppl really need to check a portfolio before you let anybody near your skin.
It can be fixed but avoid creams like wrecking balm et al it will just mess your skin up and frankly can make the tattoo look patchy and worse.
Take care

Exactly! Alot of people I work with said “why are you driving 1 1/2 hours to get ink done, when you can go to a town which is only 30 minutes away?” Alot of people get ink done there, but alot of it is just par work. I seen my artist portfolio and really liked his style and work., rest is history.
Hey people thanks for the really fast response,
The tat is a week old today.
I was recommended this artist from a guy i work with. Even the second artist i taken it to today said he isnt normally like that bad !! (trust me to pick a day he was smoking cRaCk)
The artist and I discussed to outline the swirl and to give it some definition. Shade the black with some gradual gradient to blend it.
The stars are going to be bright orange and green (my helmet colours i use when i race.)
I do want blue clouds further up my arm and the guy that is going to be doing this said its ok to do. I pray that this will work out for me or i will be selling my arm on ebay. Im booked into to see the artist on January:rolleyes: 25th. But he said he will call if he is free sooner…
You all have cheered me up. I was just asleep on my carpet next to the fire feeling sorry for myself. WHAT A DOUCHE !
