True that.
Now the bright side. It’s fixable, but the lines would have to be bolder and the shading would have to be a little darker (don’t be afraid of bold and dark. good stuff! ). And even though most tattooers don’t like fixing others’ work, roses are always fun and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find someone to handle this one. Just make sure to review portfolios this time around.
I think if u take this to a good artist and have them go over it, it is very fixable especially if u make it full color. The problem is that most accomplished artists dont like to go over other peoples work, but having a hot body certainly helps, lol. If u want the best in ohio, try kore or even gunnar. I know gunner mostly does cartoony stuff but he also does realistic too. Good luck and post pics if u do decide to fix it.
I also like Kyle Cotterman in Ohio

So, I got this tattoo almost 3 weeks ago….I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. I wanted it shaded a lighter gray, and my artist shaded it pretty dark. I also think it’s not a very good shading job on the tattoo itself. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Maybe go to a different artist and ask their opinion?
Honest opinions please!
Looks great – I love it
To clean up the shading it will end up being much darker, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just beware of over doing it. And definetly go to someone else. That part of the body is hard to work on and if they couldn’t pull it off the first time then there’s no hope for the second time. Especially those lines. Color could help smooth out the tones a bit but I would avoid dark colors (like red) because there is already so much gray shade in there. You don’t want it to look like you’ve got a tattoo of dark misshapen blobs on your side from 10 feet away.
I have some tattoo’s from the 80s and compared to what you can get now from a tattoo artist is unreal, I think people should start going to a tattoo artist rather than a tattooist, look at Dave Corden and Bez from Triplesix even Rob Doubtfire Bez and Dave corden are outstanding when it come’s to drawing I know not everyone can afford to pay between £300 – £600 maybe It’s best to save for that tattoo rather than regret afterwards. Regarding your tattoo all I can think of is add color I hope you can find someone who will work on it.
GOOD LUCK
…And at least you were able to accept some honest but relatively harsh feedback and realize you should go to another artist to fix this. Too many people are in denial about their poorly done tattoos and will defend an incompetent artist because it was a friend and they can’t admit the truth. Like you said, save some cash and find a good artist and you will be good.
