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.

How much would it cost to get mermaid scales on my mid thigh?

Asked by Silent_singer over 11 years ago

I don't price quote. It says it in my description above. Tattoo prices depend on the artist, the shop, the area you live in, etc. It's best to ask an artist who will actually be doing the tattoo.

Can a misspelled tattoo be fixed? For example I just got a script tattoo where the word "Guardian" was misspealled "Gaurdian" the a and u were transposed. Can this be fixed?

Asked by Gloria about 11 years ago

Nope. Sometimes spellings can be fixed, and the 'u' could be turned into an 'a', but the 'a' can't be turned into a 'u'.

is it true a lot of tattoo artists won't touch up another's work? I got tribal work done on my ribcage and the outlines ended up blurring. The original artist is no longer nearby and i would like to ask my current artist to do it-- is it ok to ask?

Asked by rocky almost 12 years ago

Ask away. Many artists will touch another artist's work, especially if the original artist is no longer available.

I was wondering I have a black tattoo that's pretty dark it was ca cover up. So can we put lime green on a black tattoo will it show up

Asked by marisa over 11 years ago

Probably not.

I've noticed that some tattoo artists put some kind of clear liquid in the tattoo ink and mix it up before tattooing. Do you know what this liquid is and why they add it in?

Asked by Lynn almost 11 years ago

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.

I got a tattoo for my dad who passed away and got it in roman numerals. I asked my sister the date because my mom isn't a big fan of tat's and she told me the wrong year. Now I have an extra line at the end. How can I cover it? I can send a pic.

Asked by Idiot. over 11 years ago

Without seeing it, it's difficult to answer. You could add some tiny roses to the beginning and end of the date, which will camoflage it, maybe? That's a tough one.

I just got a new tattoo last night for the first time wondering if I can use Neosporin to keep the moisturize that's all I got

Asked by Chris Mackenzie almost 11 years ago

Please don't use Neosporin to heal a tattoo. It causes the skin to heal too quickly, resulting in a loss of ink. Use A&D ointment, Aquafor or white, unscented lotion.
