For sure post a pic. It may not be as bad as you think. If the tattooer is on here and reputable, I’m sure he/she would want to make things right knowing that you are not happy.

ok here it is..
the wrongness:
shes missed half the crutch off where they cross over
the bit with the red arrows are guide lines she tattooed on and hasnt filled or gone over with white
the skull shape is wrong
the eye shape is wrong
the teeth are wrong (they were good actually but she went over them and made them into 3 thick ones so i asked her to go over in the white she was using to make them back into 6 now they look awful)
the nose shape is wrong and way too small….
i didnt want to say and offend her and to be honest i didnt notice how bad it was untill i got home and took the dressing off.

the top one is the tattoo,
the second is what it *should* look like, and the 3rd is one i drew in 2 mins with a puppy jumping on me:rolleyes: just to prove a point to my self
and i am in no way an artist

Holy hell, that’s a bad piece of ink :S

Oh, AFAIK tattoo removal creams don’t do crap. But if you just had it done, there are quite a few things you can to do ruin it well and proper. They might hurt like hell though, and even be dangerous.

Yeah it doesn’t look that great. How big is it? Maybe it can be covered up. You might be wasting your time if your looking at removal creams.

Well, I should think that the best thing for you to do would be to find a list of things not to do while having your ink heal, and then do all those things. I can imagine some of them REALLY hurting though, like going swimming in a chlorinated pool. Some of them may be dangerous to your health, though, so I wouldn’t recommend doing any of it in haste. Haste gets you nothing but bad things… you have proof of that on your wrist.

Wait about a month for it to heal completely before you get it covered. Hey Arni, would it be wrong for the TS to say where and who did the work?

There was a discussion on this issue a while back, and people started taking ‘libel’ and ‘slander’ and stuff like that. Personally I say that telling us who did it and where she is, is nothing but a public-service announcement and a favor to the tattoo world.

OP: I can’t see how that tattoo could be fixed. If you want THAT logo on you, your only course is to have it removed (lasered) and then get it re-done by a proper artist. It can’t be covered except with pure black anyway. That would just make it worse.

I’m glad that you’re trying to laugh it off… I’d go on a rampage.
