How do i make my healing tattoo really lighten up so it can be re-done?

Question

i dont hate it, just the artist i went to did i kinda have @ss job, and rushed it, its kinda uneven, and the shading isnt the best..

on the plus its all done in greyscale and will lighten up alot, so the artist who did my other tattoo which i love.. i will get her to kinda re go over it and make it look good..

i just got it on tuesday, so should i not put the pointment on or something to get it to lighten up more, so she has more room to work with.. thanks

Answer 1

Get good tattoo goo and lotion for it. That's what i've been using.

Answer 2

don't expose it to the sun i think that increases your risk for ink poisoning

soaking it (without picking at it) is probably your best bet

Answer 3

Soak in the bathtub. It draws out the color.  

Answer 4

If she did a crappy job the first time, why would you want to go back? I guess it's your choice, but I wouldn't. If it's not as good as you want it, just go talk to her and find out if you can get it touched up for free.

Alot of places will do that (so you don't talk bad about their shop).

Expose it to the sun if you want it to fade. But NOT alot. I think (don't quote me but I think I heard this somewhere) that your most prone to skin cancer when it's healing.

Good luck! :P
