I went in for a cover up of a few scars. Five small one inch scars. Messaged the tattoo artist in November regarding my needs and set up an appointment for the following February. The tattoo was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. No looking at the scars that I wanted to cover up ever. No pics prior. No looking at the scars once I arrived to the cover up appt. The tattoo was ready to go upon arrival. I took the decal and ran with it with it (with my nerves. My fault, I know) I think maybe one scar might have been covered up by happenstance and the other 3 or 4 were actually accentuated by encircling them. The tattoo itself is really pretty, if it would've been on a fresh scar free arm. But as far as a custom scar/tattoo cover-up, it definitely didn't happen. Just make sure you're your own advocate. If you are doing a nice tattoo on fresh skin and not looking for a cover-up, then the tattoo will be lovely and beautiful and I def recommend . The lines are lovely. If you're looking for a cover-up, Either go elsewhere or make sure you're advocating for yourself and doing your own due diligence, unlike myself. As someone newish to the larger piece tattoo world, I did not really realize that i couldn't put my trust into the "professional" regardless of planning ahead 3-4 mos in advance read more
