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.
In a way, yes. Lighter colors can be added to the tattoo or around the tattoo in a way that tricks the eye into seeing an overall lighter tattoo. But, can you put white ink over top of black ink and have it turn completely white? No.

You should always be able to find an artist who doesn't mind generic tattoos because it's money in their pocket. As much as I hated doing things like stars, hearts and names, sometimes it's a necessary evil.
My question to you is, with all of the possibilities out there of gorgeous pieces of art you could have tattooed on your skin, why would you choose something generic like a star. A million other people have star tattoos. Just think about it before you get it permanently inked on your body.

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.

I have no idea. The paperwork you sign before your tattoo (if done correctly) will release the tattoo artist of all liabilities involving that tattoo. I'd seek a lawyer, and definitely find a new tattoo artist that knows how to spell.

Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?
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.
Share Answer: 
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.
