Philly asked:


I have a tattoo that I would like to cover, but it is dark so I need to probably get it lightened a bit first. Has anyone here gotten one partially removed and got a new one? I am worried about scarring and I had laser in 2005 and it left a little scar. Has there been much improvement in laser since then?
damiano thanks, but obviously you didn’t read the question…

I really want to get a tattoo, but I have absolutely no clue for what type of design to look for. There is just so many things that I find interesting, but I cannot decide in which direction to go. But I definitely want something that is fresh and unique, not something I will see on the next guy walking down the street. Please help!

Ray B asked:


In time does the original tattoo fade to make the cover up look better.
Not fade but less noticeable.
I can still see it. When the new tattoo fades does it blend in with the original.

Seb asked:


I am thinking about a career as a tattoo artist but i want to make sure I won’t go broke in the process. I’ve always been detail oriented, driven, and interested in an art field. I know I would be good at it but I want to know if it’s a good idea or not.

Also what type of classes should I take in high school and college?

Jeni asked:


I am taking a vacation in which I want to wear tank tops. This exposes tattoos that are not normally exposed to the sun. They are in great shape and I would like to know which sunscreen I should use that would provide the best protection for these tattoos against the sun, that will protect from the sun yet not harm the tattoo’s color in any way.

ftxriotboi asked:


I’ve been researching tattoos because I want to get one, but my biggest concern is how clean the process will be. I want my tattoo to be an expression of myself, not a reminder of some disease I contract. What are some ways to tell how clean a parlor is, and is there any rating system avaliable (similar to a food inspector) that would tell how clean a parlor is?

Beth asked:


I live near Corpus Christi, TX. I am looking to get a really nice portrait tattoo of my Father who passed in Feb.. I know they are hard to do so I want the best in the area. Does anyone know a good website, forum or anything where I can do some research? I have been calling and visiting local shops but they all claim to be good at portraits. I don’t want to just trust their words for it and end up with something I will regret the rest of my life.
Help please!
