faded ink;fresh tattoo

3 messages · last activity 11/19/2007

I had just got a tattoo last friday and now it is almost peeling,but it seems like all the color is not there. I don't know what happen in the process but now it seems like some spots are faded and even some with hardly any color. I just wanted to know why it happened. Did some of the ink not sink into the skin?
It's possible that some of the colors didn't take very well, or sometimes at all...what colors were they? Yellow and some other colors sometimes are a little bit of a bitch and if not worked in right may reject. Same suggestion as always...if you went to a professional shop, go back to the artist when it has healed and ask them. If it had rejected they'll usually touch it up for free. Good Luck!!!
Thanks
