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.
If a scab rips off before it's supposed to, there is a chance you'll have a loss of ink in the final healing process.

Darker dots, yes. Lighter dots, no.
Share Answer: 
Tattoos on the bottoms of the feet and palms of hands don't last long- that's why most artists won't do them. The skin is tough, and because the feet and hands exfoliate skin at a rapid pace, the tattoo does fade more quickly and needs several touch ups in short periods of time.

Once the tattoo is fully healed and the skin is no longer shiny looking, it can be tattooed again.

I think that's perfectly fine.
Share Answer: 
Fake skin is much durable than real skin. When I was apprenticing, the artists bought us some fake skin to practice on, and we tried like hell to destroy that stuff, and nothing worked. Human skin is nowhere near that durable, and you can seriously hurt a person if you aren't tattooing correctly. So, from that standpoint, that you can't even destroy fake skin, it's not an accurate substitution for human skin at all.

Nope. Wear a tank top and you'll be fine. I have a word under each of my collar bones and I just wore a tank top and then tucked the straps under my arms while it was being done.
