Hi. I have a Phoenix on my arm which is great but now I want to add clouds as a background. Do you think this will be an issue as the foreground has been done first? Thank you.

Asked by Mike almost 12 years ago

Shouldn't be an issue at all. Many times a background is added behind an existing tattoo.

Nope. I don't know of a state that will tattoo a 16 year old without parental consent.

I'm 14 and want to get a RIP tattoo on my forearm. My question is will it stretch as I grow.

Asked by cvleb about 12 years ago

Honestly, I don't recommend getting a tattoo when you are 14. Not only is your body still dramatically changing, which could result in an awkward tattoo when you are older, but your body is still growing, so what would be a forearm tattoo now won't be centered on your forearm once you stop growing. Plus, you have no idea what you want to do as a career when you are older, and a forearm tattoo could hinder you from pursuing certain career fields. PLUS, your taste as a 14 year old will be drastically different than when you are an adult, and I can almost 99% guarantee you will regret whatever tattoo you got at 14. Please don't get tattooed for at least another 4 years. Wait until you are older. You will thank me later.

I want to get a color change. The part is light blue shading, like a powder blue. Not loving it. Can I go over it with a darker blue, and, also what other colors can over it

Asked by groovy almost 12 years ago

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.

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

I got a tattoo yesterday on the inside of my left foot. It's a quote done in dainty script. But its not THAT small. One of the words, "with" has a lot of ink around it. When you look up close you can read it, but from far away it's a blob??????

Asked by Amanda about 12 years ago

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.
