I am kicking off this open discussion series with Part 2 of “Whats Wrong With This Tattoo?” where I find some of the world’s worst tattoo’s for us to voice our opinions openly on what we feel is wrong with the tattoos!
The idea behind the series “Whats Wrong With This Tattoo?” is to help raise awareness on what bad tattoo practices and applications look like. By reviewing and sharing our thoughts and opinions we can gain knowledge, understanding, perspective, and potentially change the choices one would have made along the way.
Drop a comment down below on what you feel is wrong with this tattoo? Remain professional, relay your insight and voice your opinions. Constructive criticism is welcomed.
Being super new to the industry, and with what little I know, I’d say they were trying to cover up a freshly healed wound and during/after the tattooing a infection took place and the appearance of scarring has occurred.
The tattooist may have over worked some of the blacker areas, it is hard to tell from the photo and until it is fully healed we can better understand what the artist did.
I think this could have been avoided if the artist refused the tattoo until the wound has fully healed, or chosen a different area, the artist could have done everything right and the infection could have just came from the wound the client had.
From the picture we have, the line appear to be solid except maybe the lines near the top of the picture, they look to be blown out, but it could the the picture quality rather than the line work.
It looks like there is a staff infection/cellulitis that has developed.
