Hi
Ok so I am new here and I have 3 tattoos, one of which was done last Thursday, 30th Oct and I have some questions. My first tattoo was on my lower back and healed great and my 2nd was on my calf…again healed great but during the healing process it was difficult to see how it was going, especially the one on my back. The leg tattoo I could see but it was difficult to have a real good look.
So my recent tattoo was on my wrist, about 3cm down from the bottom of the palm of my hand. As it’s there I can see it everyday and watch it heal. So…the tattoo didn’t scab at all and round Sunday it begin looking wrinkly and shiny and yesterday it began to peel. This I know is normal and I know during healing it will look pretty awful and in parts will look faded. Mine however….in a certain part doesn’t look faded it looks as if my skin is showing through. I dunno If this is normal or what is called the silver skin stage…milky stage. I couldn’t really tell if this happened on my previous tattoos due to where they were.
I didn’t scratch it, nor peel it and have been washing it and applying Banpanthen 3 times a day and been wearing lose clothing. As you can see from the picture, atm it is looking pretty awful as it heals, but if you look to the left of the tattoo you will see what I mean regarding the skin coming through. And its like that again on the 4th circle below S14.

Look at the pad of the law…and then to the left of it…it looks a different shade to the rest and its the same on the fourth circle below S14.
Oh, I thought that was just the shading done by the artist…?
It’s quite simply not well made. The artist did a bad job, most of the lines are blown out (ink seeping out of the actual line where it’s supposed to stay), caused by going to deep/placing the needle wrongly, aka badly done job. The black in the circles almost seem to have been done with two different shades of black (as done to shade), but if that’s not intentionally, it’s just not done correctly.
Oh and I merged your posts, as one is enough 🙂
I find it hard to believe the lady who did this…just simply did a poor job. The blow outs are no longer seen but the ink I know has not taken well. The artist has been in the trade for 30yrs…julies tattoo studio, check out the site. Btw the tattoo is right way up to me and that little bit on the left of that picture just outside the pad has gone…it was just some peeling hanging over.
I will be going back so they can fix it because I do trust her as my other two…now look awesome. Can it be fixed and how long do I wait?? I was told by my studio 8wks so its fully healed up.
Length of experience is no longer a requisite for quality. Youve got guys tattooing for a couple years and are absolutely killing it.
It is poorly executed, No matter what your opinion of the artist is. Its a risky move letting the artist that messed it up try to fix it.
Do what you think is right. Good luck on the fix.
Well an update….I visited another studio and they explained something. One thing being the ink didnt take well and the second being that the needles used….one wasnt fitted correctly. Cause 3-5 needles are used but it seems that a needle may have been too short, ergo no hitting the point where the needles met.
If that is the case…then my artist isnt poor or awful, little mishap with the gun. Either way..all I care about is getting it touched up/fixed, do you think it can?

I know it’s hard to hear but your tattooist is shit. She has been tattooing for 30 years and used the wrong needles? WTF that is apprentice shit.

I’m sorry I wouldn’t ever go back there except to demand my money back and to kick her in the twat for putting that on me
