Re-touched

Not very happy with the old tattoo. After much deliberation, on one fine day, I decided to revamp the whole thing, so I retouched my tattoo.

Old ink. Taken after the inking session.

Too small, too much details. No focus point. Bad.. bad.. If scrutinize closely, the work really.. :roll: :roll: I lost quite a lot of ink after it healed, and the weird thing is that the left side lost more ink than the right side. :lol: The size of the tattoo also not proportionate to the body, a bit too small. Damn!

New ink, taken after the inking session.

You can see the different shades of colour between the old and new tattoo. Need to go and touch up again somewhere in the future to even out the colour and refill the lost ink. :roll: It is kinda hard to work around the old tattoo with all the ‘limitations’. I must thank Kong Meng, the tattoo artist for his work, saving my back side. :roll:

Moral of the story: Pain is necessary. No pain, no gain! Nyahahahahahaha!

ps: Getting a tattoo is just like getting a skin massage, believe me.. It feels good.:up: It is addictive too.

  1. Addictive huh? LOL that’s what I heard from everybody around me who got their tattoos done… so we’ll be expecting to see more ink on you in time to come eh? And yes, the revamped look is much nicer! :up:

  2. yo! hahaha glad that you liked him..haha else i be like ๐Ÿ™„

    anyway yeah, this looks nice. ๐Ÿ™‚ not as small as the other..oh that reminds me, yesterday, saw this gal with a few tattoos.. ๐Ÿ™„ on her finger and both wrists.. but then I think either it didnt heal properly or something coz the ink is not even. Some parts are darker than the others and then the words are all blurry like someone had painted it on with a wet water brush..mm.. i think its more of the artist problem than it aging and then losing color coz… she is damn young.. ^^; haha

    anyway yeah.. moral of story.. XD want a good tattoo, dont cut cost too!

    oh btw, how much did u get it done for this time? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  3. the new one looks like it has the face of a stylised dragon with wings spread out…much nicer….more dramatic than former one! noiceee! (aussie accent for nice!);P
