The guy that you have doing your sketch at Electric is probably the weakest guy there but his work does look solid and will probably do a great job at it. I think he will be more eager to do a great job on fixing this then someone that has a waiting list.
What makes you say that? I’ve talked to a few different artists of those suggested to me today, Sean Zee saying that his friend could remove some of the black outlining and set it up for him to take care of and the other’s secretary(?) that I could try to put in an appointment for August by calling as early as possible June 1st, but I don’t really see how that determines their enthusiasm.
I’m not accusing you of being wrong, but don’t really understand where you’re coming from.
Most great tattooist with waiting list aren’t going to want to fix someone else’s work unless they specialize in cover ups. Just because they have less to gain from working on someones crappy tattoo work so they may not want to do it. (the actuality of having a waiting list really has nothing to do with anything just a way I was trying to describe a better artist). Just saying you should also allow enthusiasm to do it to weigh in your decision on your artist.
Pangburn is in Philly, which can’t be too far from you no matter where you are in NJ.

+1. I don’t know how he would feel about doing a cover-up, but Chris Adamek is quite good.
Thanks for the advice, most of the people I’ve gone to haven’t been too enthusiastic.
His work was very impressive, like you said his colored work is great.
Yeah it’s about an hour away for me, I just sent him a message, hopefully he’ll be more helpful than the others that I’ve contacted.
He’s actually a member of this forum, although he doesn’t appear much on here. I say that’s the mark of someone that’s truly enthusiastic about the tattoo scene.

Panburn looks like he’s a cover-up wizard. I envy his skills badly.
The best time for that would have been right after getting it. At this point, I think it would be pointless as it would take a heck of a lot of tanning to fade it enough where it would make a difference.
I believe it is just about healed and it really depends on where I end up going for how long it will take. I think Pangburn is booked until June but if he would be able to do the job I would definitely go with him, I’ll just have to wait a few days for him to get back to me.
My other two options are Southside and Electric where I’m visiting in the next few days to see their sketches so I’ll have to figure out who I’m having do it before I bother going tanning or not.

Pangburn specializes in cover-ups so given the choice, it’s well worth the very short wait. There are artists booked for years so a month or two is nothing.
