  • TLDR: Genuinely not trying to be mean; Find a different artist.


    As someone with alot of tattoos (and at least one bad one), I would seriously consider finding a different artist. There are much better ways to emulate the shine of silver without just going gray. And plain yellow for the gold with no highlights or sheen is just lazy. A tattoo done right and healed right doesn’t look like this.

    I made the mistake with my first tattoo of going to a reputable shop and just expecting anyone there could do my design. I got an apprentice and it was a disaster. It’s now covered up by an amazing artist I found online and agonized over his work.

    For this you want an artist that normally does large bold traditional pieces. A decent one will be able to make that look like real silver and gold.
