hii sorry for the likebombing lol just been obsessed with tattoos lately and loving your art

currently been focused on like a dark orange to black gradient, would that be something that would interest you?

I’m glad you’re enjoying my art! I’ve actually recently started at a new shop…but they’re making me start from the bottom again, which for a tattoo artist is stick figures on people 😅 so I’ll be taking a break from color work for at least the next 6 months. Sounds cool though, I’d love to see it if you get it done!

It’s a pit you can rot in 😎

You gotta think of the skin like an organ- it’s supposed to move and swell and sort of “breathe” as an artist works on it. We have techniques and technologies designed specifically for this. When you use numbing cream, it stops the skin from reacting properly and greatly increases the chances of overworking the skin, which can cause scarring, or the ink not taking correctly and muddling color.

For a small tattoo in a delicate area? Probably fine, ask your artist. Larger pieces on the ribs and whatnot… maybe not. If you’re capable of handling the pain it’s much less risky to just sit for it.

oh that’s not… that’s not the word, sweetie
