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 you are getting the bracelet to look like it's a realistic bracelet hanging on your skin, then go black and grey for authenticity. Otherwise, color vs. black and grey is completely up to the client.
And, in reading further into your question, Irish flag colors might be overkill with the celtic knot and celtic cross. Stick with black and grey, or just green. But that's what I would tell a customer if they came to me with that idea, so it's purely my opinion.

I recommend starting small, but I've seen people start with huge rib pieces as their first tattoo. It all depends on your mindset. If you start getting tattooed, though, and find you absolutely hate it, would you rather sit there for maybe 30 more minutes, or 3 hours, before what you've chosen is finished?

I'd be happy to help you with ideas for your cover up. I'm not familiar with anyone in the Chandler area, sorry. Head to my website above (The Inklings of Life) and find my email address in the Contact & Disclosure section! =)

It all depends on the original tattoo and area. Not every tattoo can be covered. If it's too dark, too big, or on the edge of a body part (like covers the entire top of the hand), it makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to cover.

Go back and talk to her about it. That's about the only advice I can give. Don't be surprised if she isn't slightly offended, though.

Scabbing can happen when an area of the skin is overworked, or if the person bleeds a lot during the tattooing process. Redness around the tattoo is normal during the healing process. Without seeing your ankle, it's hard for me to judge if it's healing properly, but if it were infected, it would smell horrible, would hurt like hell, and you'd have a greenish or yellow ooze coming from it. So, if you don't have those symptoms, you are probably fine.

Okay... did I miss a question somewhere in there? If you aren't satisfied with the artist, then don't go back to them. If they botched it in the first place, chances are they will just continue to mess it up in an effort to "fix" it. If you are comfortable with them fixing it, they shouldn't charge you, so get it done. If you aren't comfortable, talk to the shop owner to see if another artist can do it free of charge, otherwise you'll have to pay for a cover up or rework somewhere else.
