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.
I don't price tattoos. Head to a shop and ask the artist you'd like to have do your tattoo.

Yes. Black ink can go over red ink.

I'm missing a question somewhere. If you are asking if the the ink around the word 'with' can be removed, the answer is no. If the rest of the tattoo is fine, but the 'with' looks thicker than the rest, then your tattoo artist "blew" the word 'with', meaning they went too deep into your skin and the ink spread. There's nothing you can do about blown lines in a tattoo, sorry.
Share Answer: 
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.

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

It all depends on the tattoo and the proficiency of the artist. I've seen artists knock out entire sleeves in one day.
Share Answer: 
Eat before you get tattooed. That's one of the first rules of getting tattooed. Always eat before you get tattooed, and take a candy bar and/or soda or sugary drink with you, just in case. If you start to feel light headed again, tell the tattoo artist immediately, and get some sugar in you. It also helps to try and look straight forward when you get tattooed instead of down toward the floor. A cold, wet paper towel applied to the back of the neck helps, too. (If the tattoo artist has rubbing alcohol, that's the best thing to use on the paper towel, because it keeps it cooler against the skin for longer than water.)
