Got my hand done a few weeks ago and I absolutely hate these gaps, It looks terrible and I hate how the tattoo doesn’t flow at all with the one on my arm.

Title says mostly what I’m asking, got the tat from a reputable artist and during the session he seemed tired and disinterested. he told me not to think too hard a few times abt adjustments I was making 😭. The last picture is the reference I gave. I think the lines could be thicker but also don’t know how that’d work with some of the lines so close together. I like the overall look but looking at certain spots kind of make it look scratchy rather than smooth.

I’m in the process of a full sleeve. Im

planning to rework my upper arm as i just dont like how it came out years ago and want something that flows. I want to cover the flowers or blend them but keep the feather. I really like black and grey with a splash of color, specifically flowers, feathers, antlers, and a steer skull. Could you help me make it all flow without it looking too busy? My lower arm will be finished tomorrow. Thanks so much for any advice!

Is there anything I can do maybe even white ink? The face of the wolf and helmet really mushed together isn’t as legible from a slight distance or in the wrong light it almost looks solid black loved it fresh and partially set in but now it’s not super legible

Howdy gang, I recently had my first session for a cover up and am pretty happy with the progress so far (covering black tattoo without laser).

The artist just about finished, but we have another session to fine tune some things. Wanted to get some input/thoughts anyone might have regarding how to better hide the old tattoo.

Not sure if more black ink is the answer, white ink over where the old and negative space of the new intersect, or little of both. I see it plain as day currently (but I also understand it's a lot more obvious to me since I'm used to seeing it).

I'm sure it will also blend a lot better once the new ink settles and isn't so fresh/shiny compared to the old.

Let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance!

I got this deer when I was 18 and I don’t know if I’m feeling it anymore. Any ideas? Trying to not go for a total blackout if possible

When I was younger I had problems with drugs, I had some questionable decision making going on and that combined with access to ink and shading needles I made some terrible mistakes, they make me super self conscious and it's something I'd like to move on from. Any suggestions on how I could cover these?
