Tattoo Artist

Tatted Mom

Tucson, AZ

Female, 32

I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!

PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.

My tattoo artist screwed up a name tattoo an it wasn't noticeable ontill the swelling went down and if scanned then peeled!! What can I do about it or how do I go about it

Asked by tweety about 13 years ago

I'd go back and talk to the artist about it. I'm not sure how they screwed it up to say whether it can be fixed or just needs to be covered up.

I got a cross tattoo a couple years ago in SC. Its a just a simple cross with red shading in it. after a few years the red seems to have faded and I don't really like how it looks in that color. Is it possible to go over the red ink with black ink?

Asked by Kenton almost 13 years ago

Yes. Black ink can go over red ink.

How fine a line can be achieved in a tattoo? The design I have in mind calls for a symbol with an outline and some smaller lines within--is there a way to get that style without enlarging my design?

Asked by Emily over 12 years ago

The finest a line can be is a single needle. But, lines that fine don't generally hold up over time.

Hullo! I got a tattoo on the outside of my foot two weeks ago. I was able to go almost a week and a half with keeping it uncovered, but now I need to cover it. I've used gauze and bandaids - both had ink on them when I took them off. Advice?

Asked by Nichole about 13 years ago

You should not re-cover a tattoo after the first few days, and especially not 2 weeks later. However, to answer your question, tattoos can take up to a month to heal, depending on the area of the body, and ink can purge from the skin at any time during the healing process. The only concern is when the tattoo scabs and the scab rips off before it's ready; then you might be left with an empty spot where the ink came out completely.

What shades of red and blue work best for a flag tattoo? My artist wants me to pick my colors and buy the ink the rest is free. My problem is intenzetattooink.com has like 20 shades of both!

Asked by Drew over 12 years ago

Your artist should know what colors are best for a flag tattoo and should not be having you buy the ink and tattoo you for free. That's not normal in the legitimate tattoo business.
