The level of tiny detail is going to look like a big blob of color in 10 years.

Yeah. She's a coverup queen - or as they call it - a turd polisher, haha.

I will post updates for sure - I am already so happy with it.

She said at least 50% of their clients are cover ups. So I guess after all this I'll have to offer up some fresh skin.


edit: I like how you can still see the scorpion atm in the feather there, lololol.

Just out of curiosity: How much does a tattoo the size of Jenny's cost?

Most artists charge by the hour. Any good artist will be 100-200 an hour. I'd imagine the level of detail of hers would probably be about 4 hours because the line work looks rushed.

a couple grand I would imagine, probably more depending on the artist.

It depends on the artist/their experience. She normally charges 150/hr but only charged me 120/hr, and for only 3 1/2 hrs. But I paid her 500 hundred anyway. So another couple of 4 hours sessions will end up costing me 1500 bucks. Very reasonable.

Not if you take good care of your skin. Sun is the number one cause of them fading so if you properly use sunblock they should retain their color a lot longer. I just say that with hers because it's such a huge level of detail in a very small area. That's just not going to age well, and most artists won't agree to do something like that (unless they just don't care) because they know it won't look well 10, 15, 20 years from now.

lol 150 for that work is overpriced for sure. The skill involved in that whole piece (depending on the color work) probably shouldn't cost much more than $1,000. I hope that "artist" isn't calling that custom work, because I've seen that exact tattoo many times.

Well, the only reason I say that it fades is with the first tattoo I got was on my arm and I am not the type of guy that walks in the sun without a shirt and it is never exposed and then I didn't get another tattoo for 10 years but on the same arm making a mixed match type of halve sleeve and you can see the fadedness of the first one since they are right next to each other.

It's just the years, it doesn't look bad but it looks dull compared to.

That chicken's got an awfully long tail.

Well you don't just get a tattoo and leave it, duh. If you want it to look good over time, you can expect to go back for touch ups eventually.
