 |
|
Hey Guys,
I just did a lettering tattoo a couple days ago with 3 words on top of one another on my ribcage.
The bottom 2 words seem to be fine up to this point, but the top one, the ink seems to be outside of the lines.
Should I be worried or is this just part of the healing process?
Thanks a lot.

do you mean the ink is spreading out?
if so this means you have blow outs in your line work from going to deep or staying in one place to long |

blow outs are the worst possible thing to happen to any tattoo artist or even a beginner for that matter, it can really bum you out..
try practising on pig skin with the depth and the consistency of the lines, i.e try going at a steady pace, not so fast that you miss the skin all together lol but dont do it too slow, otherwise blow outs happen..
hope this has helped.. |
