WEEK OLD TATTOO IN BLACK LOST ALMOST ALL INK

4 messages · last activity 10/23/2005

MY NEW TATTOO IS IN ALL BLACK INK. THE ARTIST DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB. ALMOST ALL THE BLACK INK CAME OUT(NOW LIGHT GREY) HE SAID I HAD A REACTION TO THE INK AND WOULD REDO IT WITH ANOTHER BRAND BLACK. I HAD 4 OTHER TATS AND THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. IM SCARED IT WILL HAPPEN NEXT TIME AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH A LIGHT OLD LOOKING TATTOO. ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE AND WAS IT FIXED?
*shrugs* I've seen it in cases of bleed out and poor saturation. The good news is black can cover black and your artist will try to reapair it for free. If you trust him.
Maybe the Tattoist was Bad.........OR MAYBE ITS GOD PUNISHING YOU FOR TYPING EVERYTHING IN CAPSLOCK WHO KNOWS?
Maybe you didnt take care of it properly?? If you dont wash it enough to try and keep the scabbing from taking place then the scab will result in more loss of ink in the skin... just to let you knoew... but a touch up wouldnt hurt :) Kristina - Apprentice
