The artist that did my tattoo is my friend, who owns his own shop, and is the best tattooist in the city he lives in. I’m not just saying that b/c he is my friend, it’s true. You ask anyone where to go for a tattoo and everyone says his shop. He is booked for 2 months in advance usally. He did a big fairy on my back, and a little tat on my foot. I have other tattoos from other artists, and he has the lightest hand of them all. He is known to have a light touch. That’s why I don’t really understand why this happened. Everywhere I read blow outs are caused by a heavy handed tattooist. But it happened, and I know it was not done on purpose, and I’m sure if he knew that I was going to have a blow out he would have done something different. I’m am disappointed b/c I am now going to have to change my tattoo by adding some shading around it. The tattoo starts on my back, goes over my should and comes down my arm between my shoulder and elbow, so it’s not like it’s a small piece. It also connects with the fairy on my back. I like your suggestion about getting a tan, but I am too afraid on the rest of my tattoos fading. The tattooist hasn’t seem the blow outs yet, so I don’t even know what he does suggest. I am going back to him to get it fixed. I also have to get the rest of it finished LOL

Thanks for that info, so it’s basically b/c the ink was put in too deep. What does that say about the artist? I have other work done by him and haven’t had a problem with anything else. It is on my shoulder going down my arm. Maybe it’s because of the area?
Could it also be caused by the sun. Exposing the tattoo to the sun too early. Someone told me that, but for some reason, I’m not sure if I believe that.

Thanks forveryone’s help. i taked to my tattois and said i have to wait at least 3-4 years to get it coved. There’s too much scar tissue right now. That sucks, but oh well. The way he is going it’s going to take 3 years to finish my back anyways. He books 3 months in advance.

That shouldn’t be an excuse for a crappy tattoo.

Thanks for the idea Hoani!! I actually really like that idea, but I was getting my fairy on the other side of the back, so I was thinking of something gardenie/flowery to cover up my stars with.
Also do you think it would be hard to cover up because the colours are so bright still? I guess I would just have to go with darker colours right? I’m hopefully going this weeekend to see my friend who is doing my fairy tattoo. I’ll ask him about covering it up then. He’s the one who redid the colours and outlined it again, so I’m afraid he’s going to be mad at me, for getting it covered.

My husband is heavily tattooed. For aftercare of his tattoos he uses Lubriderm hand cream, the unscented kind. He doesn’t use Tattoo Goo or Polysporn or anything else, just Lubriderm. He has never had a problem with any of his tattoos. He’s been using it for several years now.
