I had a number 3 tattooed on my hand about 5 weeks ago, and I have some serious smudging around it. There's too much of it to incorporate it into the design. My question is: will the smudging fade in time? If so, does anyone have any idea how long it will take? Thanks!
Cool

That or he tried shadowing it and failed. Can you put a link to a pic of it?

I Think it doesn't get any better with time. You should find out how the artist fix it with ink.

Sorry to here that.

Thanks, everyone, for answering my post. I went to see the artist today. She and the other 4 artists at the studio said they had never seen a tattoo "bleed" like mine. The only explanation they could come up with is that my skin is older (I'm 65!) and therefore thinner and so the ink just drifted away from the tat. It's not blow out - it covers a much larger area than that. It looks like a bruise about 1/2" by 1/4". She asked me to come back in a couple weeks and in the meantime she'll research the problem to see what if anything can be done about it.

Hopefully they will be able to fix it
