all2pot Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not the best of tattoo's by any means. If you look at the pic, the lines are all blown out which is either due to running the needle too deep into the skin, either via pressure or too much thrown on the needle also could be down to using lining ink which has gone stale and requires remixing, or even, the mistake of using shading black rather than lining. There is also a lack of definition which is down to the way it has been shaded, the light spots are not consistant which gives it too much of a cartoonie feel, although if this is what was aimed for, then its nearly there, mines the bad bits above. Actually, looking at it, its a coverup of an older version of the same thing, is it not? This may explain some of the line issues, but still doesn't explain the multiple light sources which confuse the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willowisp Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 All2pot - the Brian Sewell of tattoos ! My gripe with it is a litle simpler - theres too much going on! As the years go by and the lines spread, that'll just end up a blurred mushy version of it's old self. Though having said that - as its a cover up then you've done pretty well! Coverups are shite, its advisable to fork out for one session of laser removal to lighten the old tat and give you more scope for a better coverup.

all2pot Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Man......aren't you ever cheery about anything! Indeed, im cheery about most things, I just choose not be cheery if there is a reason to warrant being so. As for the "Brian Sewell" , im not an art critic by any means, but i do know the difference between good and bad tattoo's, i've seen and delt with enough of them.

I did mention that it could well be from the previous tattoo after misreading the OP. What would have been a better option is to have gone with thicker outlines and darker shading/shadowing around the outside which would have allowed you to use light better in the piece including more detail in the leaf and pipe. Its not a shit tattoo by any means, but it could have been a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhyrvus Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Nice enuff re-do, does the job nicely i thought .. old tattos are hard to redo, blurred old lines can sorta be cartooned/sculpted but itll never be great .. old colour tends to make the new colour sorta muddy lookin too . . kriss - your missis been tattooing long ? ?
