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.
Small lines that are close together, as in the case with small lettering, will expand under the skin and end up growing together after a few years. This happens with all tattoos over time. Small lettering is not recommended because it will be unreadable over time.

Red shows up really well, as well as blue. Sometimes green does. Purple tends to look black, and yellow and orange just fade into the skin. I've seen people with darker skin tones do well with color. Overall, I've mostly just stuck with black and gray on darker-skinned clients.

Okay. I'm missing a question with this one. I would definitely have your tattoo artist draw something up before tattooing you. That way you don't get flying genitals tattooed on you as a joke...

Probably not.

I've heard that a lot of startups are hiring really well-educated college grads and paying them a lot, reasoning that customer service is often a client's most lasting impression of a brand. What do you think, and is it something you see spreading?

If a scab rips off before it's supposed to, there is a chance you'll have a loss of ink in the final healing process.
Share Answer: 
Small changes in size and weight generally won't affect a tattoo. But if you are going from being thin and kind of scrawny to a professional body builder size, the tattoo will stretch and look faded.
Share Answer: 
It's water. They add it in to thin the ink out some. Over time, ink thickens in the bottle, so thinning it out makes it cover easier.
