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.
Yep!

Why would you want your license if he didn't teach you how to tattoo?

You can definitely go over it with a darker blue. Purple would work, too. Reds or pinks over blue will cause it to have a slight purple tinge, just as yellow over it will make it look green.

It all depends on the tattoo and the proficiency of the artist. I've seen artists knock out entire sleeves in one day.

A scar can be covered up if the scar is old and usually colored white. Light pink scars can be covered, too, but if the scar is fairly new an still purple or dark pink in color, you run the risk of breaking open the skin again while tattooing it. I've covered quite a few scars, and the skin is a little tougher to take in, but it's defintiely doable.

I would advise to wait, yes. The body doesn't take pain well during a hangover, so your pain threshhold might be severely diminished and your skin very sensitive. Depending on how much you drank the night before, the quality of the tattoo could be compromised due to more bleeding.

Sometimes red bumps on and around the tattoo can be ingrown hairs from where the tattoo artist shaved the area, or people sometimes have a reaction with the A&D ointment used during the tattoo process. If the bumps form white heads, and are located on the actual tattooed area, with no bumps around the tatttoed area, I'd see a doctor.
