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!

Without seeing it, it's hard to give an accurate answer here. I've reworked 30 year old tattoos, yes. I've covered 30 year old tattoos, yes. As far as yours, specifically, I'm not sure.

Black ink that heals dark green is cheap ink. Good quality black ink stays black.
Share Answer: 
Shouldn't be an issue at all. Many times a background is added behind an existing tattoo.

Why does Starbucks attract so many homeless people?
The laws in Arizona state that a tattoo artist can tattoo a person as young as 14 with parental consent. Without parental consent, it's 18. Now, tattooing minors is completely up to the tattoo artist and/or shop, so even though the law states as young as 14 with parental consent, the shop and/or artist can rightfully refuse to tattoo a minor, even with parental consent. I'd just call around and ask shops what their policies are (after checking portfolios, of course, and finding one that you like based on portfolios and cleanliness of shop).

The ink may not be done settling in your skin. During the healing process, especially if the area slightly scabs, the colors will go from vibrant to muddy brown and back to vibrant once the final healing stages are done. If you still aren't happy with the colors once it's completely healed, head back to your tattoo artist and have them put the golds and browns in.

Using words as a cover up is nearly impossible because of the spaces between the letters.
