Ok, I have this client where her skin is slightly blue after the tattoo is healed (tattoo was made 2 months ago).
I have no idea what this is, and it has never happened to any of my clients before! I asked her to go to a dermatologist to check it out.
Has this happened to any of you guys clients? Its only on the inner part of the forearm, near the dark blues. Ink is Eternal btw!
I have seen that before and tattooed over it. Not positive what it was but it looked like a bruise almost. I figured what you figured, that it had gone into the hypodermis and spread.
And the one I saw was done by someone else so I couldn't be sure of technique used that did it. But the other parts did look deeply done. Though yours doesn't look too deep
Thanks for the answer man! Yeah, the forum is pretty bad atm, thats why i only saw your answers today =/
Agreed....in my ealry days I had a few of these....and it is where the ink moves due to being paced in too deep.....it is a blow out. The area you described is famous for it due to the thin skin. We see this alot with older folks as well....and as our colleague wrote...with heavy concentrated colors. And unfortunately there is not much to be done now.
I will tell you that SOME individuals are more prone to having this happen ( I had n artist orking for me that is nottoriously light handed and his work always heals softly...) and his client had the worst case I ever saw.....so SOMETIMES you get set up from the start...and the client has no idea. My recommendation is watch ur speed and stretch in those areas to make sure u dont contribute to the issue.....work low and slow.
Sorry this happened to ya bud......our medium is super challanging sometimes due the to the variation in canvas
