Has anybodys home tattoo actully turned out good?

Question

i have been looking this up a long time today, and it seems like they all turned out pretty S****y. does anybody have a success story? and maybe a pic lol? im not gonna do it, im just curious.. or if you have any pics of bad ones, can i see? thanksss

Answer 1

theres not really ever such thing as a good homemade tattoo unless its done by a really good home artist. I do all my homemade tattoos myself and the only one that came out "good" was A small heart I did on my right arm

Answer 2

My sister and her friend got theirs done by a guy they worked with out of his garage and they both turned out fairly S****y.  I've seen worse, but yeah, they're not good.  My sister actually went and got hers fixed and added to, so it looks better now.

I don't think I have any before pictures of it anymore though.  Only after.

Answer 3

Its rare but possible. Mine turned out horrible, and I had to pay alot to get it covered up by a professional.  

Answer 4

some may look good at first, but because of the ink used over time they all fade and become quite blurry,

by home tattoo do u mean artists that work out of their home or tattoos done by homemade guns or needle pricking? because i was speaking of the latter.

if you get done by a proffesional artist that does them out of his home (like i do) the tattoos look just as great and will cost you less because they dont have to pay shop dues.

Answer 5

Definitely! My tattoo of a broken butterfly knife with the year I stopped cutting, covers my whole left shoulder and it looks great. A friend of my family did it at my cousins house and he was awesome! Very sanitary and professional. He did some great freehand tats and even did a nice cover up on an old ugly dolphin tattoo she had done over 20 yrs ago.

I think it depends on how experienced the artist is. My guy has been tattooin for over 15 yrs and he just does the home visits as a side thing.

It's simple if you settle for someone who's not experienced and use them because it's "cheaper" then you get sh1tty quality.  

Answer 6

it really depends on what you mean. if you mean making supplies yourself and doing it, yes it will look S****y. but if you mean just going to someone who knows what they are doing but doesnt work in a studio then no they usually look good. i used to go to a guy that was a paramedic for a living and did tattoos on the side. he did a large tattoo on my back and it looks great. i would attach the photo but not sure how....
