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.
About as long as it takes for the tattoo artist to ink it. White tattoos are a fad, and once the redness from the skin goes away from the tattooing process, you'll immediately find that you wasted your money on a white tattoo. Tattoos on the inside of the finger, on average, last 6 months to a year. When you combine a white tattoo on the inside of a finger, you are basically handing a tattoo artist money to cause you pain for no reason whatsoever.

Very nice idea.
I'm missing a question here...
Share Answer: 
You are talking about 'negative' tattooes- where you tattoo around an area, and the place you left blank is the image. Some negative stars would probably look good around a Day of the Dead Marilyn Monroe. Maybe some kiss prints? It's hard to throw ideas out wihout seeing the tattoo, lol.

A+D ointment should only be used for the first 2-3 days after the tattoo. After that, white unscented lotion is best.
As long as you aren't pulling on the scabs or skin itself, it's fine- the inked skin will exfoliate off, and yes, when it first happens, you do freak out, lol.

I'm not sure about a 'lighter' shade of your skin, but black and gray tattoos are done with different shades of gray ink and no color.
Share Answer: 
It all depends on the artist, so I say just ask. I can say, if you don't know exact colors used in the tattoo, that can make it difficult for an artist to touch up another artist's work.
Share Answer: 
Either will work. If I were you, I'd give a completed drawing to your friend, shading and all, so they have the full reference to take to a tattoo artist. Just keep in mind, though, that the artist will more than likely change some things, to make it more tattooable or to add their own flair to it.
