Blotchy Tattoo

7 messages · last activity 6/13/2011

I have recently got another tattoo, but this one is fading and getting blotchy in a few days. The artist has already went over it once, but same problem. I know people that got tats from him and theirs looks good, and I have six already that turned out fine. He is using Eternal ink. Could it be possible that the ink and my skin are not compatible?
make sure the ink isnt expired.also let the tattoo completlety heal for minium of 3 months then try a touch up.is the area the tattoo is have scar tissue? ive had a few folks where its just there body that is having a hard time accepting the ink in that area and then they blame the artist. im not saying thats what youre doing at all. but these are a cpl possibillities here.1)expired ink 2) scar tissue 3) body area having issues accepting the ink 4) change in any of the following diet,meds,body soap,laundry soap,new pets,come in contact with chemicals,allergys,molds, ect the list goes on best of luck let us know what you and the artist figure out
Don't get me confused. I am not some whiny little bitch that is looking to blame someone but I do want this resolved. Together my artist and I are trying to figure it out. He is currently talking to Eternal to see if they can give advice also. I am just trying to help him resolve this issue.
never said you were a whining bitch blaming it off on someone else and i gave several reasons as to what could be the factors or problems to your issue
Sorry, I guess I forgot to thank you for your input. I saw it but did want anyone to get the wrong impression of me. That way I could get more possible solutions. I know if I saw someone who I perceived to be whiney, I would probobly just move on.
totally understand mate.would like to hear from others and there thoughts,and get more input on this matter also. best of luck let us know what becomes of this.
i have a serious question about something for whoever could give me a serious answer.. i bought some ink has no labels on it so i dont know if its expired or not.. but what im sayin is that i have done 4 tattoos since i got it and the one around my wrist wants to seriously fade basically not showing up like its supposed to im not usin any kind of gauze of some sort to cover it up, im puttin ointment on it but looks like shit can anyone give me advice.. or if u have any questions to ask go on ahead...
