Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
Nope. Wear a tank top and you'll be fine. I have a word under each of my collar bones and I just wore a tank top and then tucked the straps under my arms while it was being done.

I don't recommend white tattoos for any skin color. Black and grey tattoos tend to show up more on darker skin than color tattoos do, but colored inks such as reds, greens and sometimes blues show up on darker skin.

It's hard to give an exact time frame. It's not an instant thing. It took 3 years for your existing tattoo to fade to what it was when the new black was added, so it won't take a week or two for the two to match.

Darker dots, yes. Lighter dots, no.

You can put UV ink where ever, just keep in mind that UV ink only sticks around for maybe a year. And, if it's the colored UV ink, and not the clear, it will look strange on your skin when not under UV light, and can splotch out badly. UV ink is only FDA approved for tagging fish, not for human use.
