Wish I hadn't posted it now

Did anyone watch E4's tatttoo artist of the year ?......a UK version of Inkmaster.

Interested to see that their first task was to ink a pig skin,apparently an apprentice tattooist common learning tool.

You're taking it in good spirit though davel. Great idea for a tattoo though IMO, a nicely done, strong, good-loooking stag in proper colour. Better than all that tribal, foreign lettering rubbish.

What did you ask for?

Hopefully that deflects from the downs cow with antlers, cross eyes and a hitler moustache

Yeah, I caught it.

I don't really understand the concept...Are they looking for the best all round artist? Time management on pieces they're not used to, quality of work on subjects that's not their style?
Still, 2 tens is totally unforgivable.

This may sound like a stupid question but I assure you all it's a genuine one.

Are there tattooists that specialise in cover ups?

I've got an old 5" tattoo in red and black on my shoulder, and I'd like to have something more modern covering it. Do those colours present a problem? I'd go for something bigger and more colourful this time.

I'm in Essex (and occasionally London) if you know of anyone in those areas.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does rather.... naming a st beer on your arm for posterity
Still, there's always Tattoo Fixers - so long as you don't ask Alice to do a clock face with Roman numerals on it!

Quick look on youtube...Some great coverups. Gives you an idea of what can be done.

Thanks for replies so far.

So there's no special skills to cover ups? Any good artist can do it?

I know what sort of design I'm after. I assume the part that is the actual cover up will need to stick to the red and black that is already there, or darker colours, yes?

[Johnny]

Darker colours generally.

Most can do it. Not all will want to...

[PurpleAki]

What's the reasoning behind that? Surely getting someone who has fallen out of love with (their) tattoos, back into inking is a good thing?

[Johnny]

I agree.

Just seems some don't really like to do it.

Maybe they feel it restricts them a tad?

She's good, though it's not really my style. Leanne Fate does amazing realism stuff. Again, not my system but great tattooing none the less.

The ink work isn't done justice in the pic!

Can Alice draw a good downs cow with antlers?
