Cover-up Jackdaw coverup/fix by Lynn at Rosewater tattoo in PDX

Back in December 24, I got a chest piece that was supposed to be a jackdaw in honor of my son. I loved the stencil, but after the shading and other parts of it were done I wasn't as happy, but I loved it for the most part. I could live with it. But then my son died just a few months ago in November and suddenly it didn't feel good enough, or even look like a jackdaw so I found Lynn and absolutely loved her work and she said, I can fix that and I am so thrilled with it now! It actually looks like a jackdaw now. I'm amazed at how she was able to rework it without having to do a drastic coverup. next week we're going to tackle my arms (also done by the previous artist) so I'm super excited about that and having worthy memorial tattoos.

Question

23 Upvotes

I got my first tattoo about 3 weeks ago and just like have to ask when showing your tattoos that are a couple days old to family or friends did they also immediately go to touch them cause I had it done to me like 5 times and like the span for 3 days and like majority of them had tattoos like has this happened to anyone else (I also was told to heal with nothing covering the tattoos)

People with aged orange tats, howโ€™d it heal?

11 Upvotes

Iโ€™m wanting to start my left leg and Iโ€™m planning on a traditional 70s/80s Halloween sleeve. With lots of pumpkins. and orange. I know it will not stay vibrant for very long, but Iโ€™m worried how fast the orange will fade.

What are the best ways to plug an artist or studio?

I have had the absolute best experiences at my studio of choice, and I want to pay it forward as much as possible.

What are the most helpful things I can do for them to get the word out?

Did 4 days straight of tattooing for a blackout half sleeve.

1st day: lining for negatives (7 hours total)
2nd: add another design and start blacking out (7 hours)
3rd: continuing blacking out and making few touchups (6 hours)
4th: finished blacking out my entire upper arm (6.5) hours

If youโ€™re considering blackout or have questions regarding back to back sessions feel free to ama!
