There's just something about old flames. There's no getting rid of them, especially if you have them tattooed. The good news is you can fall in love with an old tattoo and bring to life the thrill of the original ink job.
Old artwork can really look bad, especially if it wasn't up to par to begin with. Rather than live with old tattoos that bear insignificant meaning why not consider a tattoo redesign?
Redesigning a tattoo is not an easy feat. A talented artist is the most important aspect of this challenge because incorporating an old design into a new one can look terrible if it's not done right. This is why original tattoo placement and art selection as well as artist skill level are the most important aspects to consider prior to getting inked the first time around. Live and learn.
Should you be stuck with the initials of an old flame or perhaps a fictional character depicted in a lifeless form of flash art that you haphazardly chose without much consideration, you should consider redesigning your tattoo with a trusted artist.
Covering up or changing your old tattoo is worth the consideration if you're unhappy so don't hesitate to consider the process. Just take your time this time around and choose the artist and the design carefully. Make sure you do a proper shop inspection and check out finished work portfolios. Don't be hasty.
You can indeed breathe new life into an old tattoo by retouching its color. Maybe you didn't practice proper aftercare of exposed yourself to sun without protection, either way you can refresh your color and add vibrance to your old artwork and it's not that expensive to do. Go into the chair with the attitude that you made the choice to get the tattoo and now you need to maintain it. Even if you drew the line at your own personal tattoo mark you can get back into the studio to keep it looking fresh for a lifetime.
Redesigning and refreshing your ink job are two ways you can restore old tattoos. You don't always need something new. Just fall back in love with what's in front of you; it will be there for a lifetime.
