Show off your tattoos! ^-^

Has anyone ever had theirs redone? I got a music note done about a year on my wrist but the girl was like a trainee or something, its very uneven/faded and its kinda disappointing to look at :/ I heard going over tattoos can scar them? not sure if its true....

I got mine touched up a month after I initially got it. My artist went over her work to add and fix the highlighting. I had no problems with scarring over it. It has healed up nicely.

Here is mine:

I am also planning on getting another one. I want five flowers, one daffodil, two marigolds, and two larkspur. I am hoping to get it on my ribs, but I am a little hesitant on the pain. I just don't know where else to put it, I don't like to have mine showing on the day-to-day basis.

Oh my goodness! That is beautiful! It looks like a real butterfly landed on you! ^-^

I also like your idea for a 2nd tattoo, but the ribs will probably be pretty painful. Is your back an option? It would be easily hidden, but you won't see it much either I guess...

I have three so far My next one will be a memorial one for my cat who I lost last month, and after that I'm getting the Sheikah eye on my right wrist.


My first was an Animal Crossing one on my chest! It needs touchups now, as it's over a year old and wasn't done by the guy I now go to. I don't think she was a great artist, the girl who did it.

My second one was a memorial for my hedgehog, on my ankle.

My third is a Night Vale one, I got it a week after winning a cosplay contest as Cecil, and a week before meeting Cecil in person!

All of these are healing photos/photos right after they were done. I need to take new ones because they mostly look much better now

I thought of my back, but it would have to be like the mid or lower back, and I don't want a tramp stamp lol!

And thank you. My artist did an amazing job, it's so hard to believe that she is actually self taught!

Oh I like them! They look good even in the healing photos! ^-^ Your next two ideas sound lovely as well. I'm sorry to hear about your kitty, but that sounds like a lovely memorial! <3

Hey now! mine is technically a 'tramp stamp'... ;^; I don't really consider it one though since I'm not constantly bending over so people see it! XD

Oh wow! Self-taught? I would have been so nervous about that, but they did a great job! ^-^

I did my research on her first lol! I saw her at my city's tattoo expo, followed her work and her realism is amazing. Her art is really good too.

I'm not judging on tramp stamps! I'm just saying out of personal preference I have a very long torso, so if I got lower back everyone would see it!!

Oh I'm sure you did! Well she really is amazing, so I certainly hope she is getting good business!

Haha! I know you weren't I just wanted to pick on you a bit! Sometimes I forget that my sarcasm doesn't always come through online! XD I actually have a really long torso as well, but i also wear high waisted pants or long loose shirts that get belted. Helps extenuate the hourglass shape and keeps me from looking fat. I have a big chest and big hips so I have to get bigger sizes to accommodate and then I look chubby! XD

Your lucky, my waist is too small for high waisted jeans.

On another note, I was thinking of my five flowers in like this position. https://www.instagram.com/p/-RsYvivziC/

I am just trying to tuck some money away, but I have no idea how long the flowers would take.

Oh! I LOVE tattoos in that position! They are so pretty! ^///^ <3 I think that would look gorgeous!

How did you do with the pain of the first one? Where was it? I can't tell with the picture. Most importantly, if you couldn't handle it and had to stop early, would you go back and get it finished? I feel like THAT is the most dangerous aspect of a tattoo, ending up with a half finished one because you couldn't handle the pain. ;^;

You are the only one who knows the answer obviously. My sister didn't think I would be able to handle mine, but I sat there the whole time and finished in one session as planned. Obviously the parts directly over the spine hurt the most, but it wasn't unbearable. I wish you luck! It really is a very pretty idea and a gorgeous placement! <3

My current one is below the hip, on the side of my thigh. It was pretty minimal pain, a few sore spots, but not too horrible. I was in her chair for about 4 hours (although she only charged me two), and near the end it was starting to get sore. When she went over it (before the touch up, in my first sitting) with the highlights she used a numbing cream which helped substantially.

My one friend has a small quote on her ribs and she said she could hardly stand it, but the one on her shoulder didn't hurt. I might have to just grin and bear it, and if I need to pay a little more and do smaller sessions.

It's difficult to take pictures of your own tattoos... I tried, but I couldn't get any good pictures.

Haha! I definitely understand! My pic is one that was taken by my sister right after it was finished. I would have a terrible time trying to take a picture now! XD

What is your tattoo though? Can you describe it? ^-^

i've had designs done before similar to that but it's the best one i've seen so far
i wanted the colour to be white but my skin is so pale that it will probably hardly show up lol

Well it looks amazing, and I'm sure it will look great no matter which color you get it in! ^-^
