I feel like single needle tattoos are perfect for couple tattoos or people's names because if the relationship ends it's not too long until the tattoo goes too.... ;)
Can you talk about getting tattoo fillers in between tattoos if you’re collecting or getting different styles around the body- for those ppl who over think getting something because they want multiple styles
This would actually be dope .. I've been thinking about focusing on black and grey work but I still want to have both realism and traditional pieces on my body and I want them to be able to play off of one another without looking out of place.
As an artist (not a tattoo artist, just a regular degular illustrator) I tend to prefer very tiny, fine lines in my work. I have to admit that it kind of fuels my nightmares to think if anyone would get single needle tattoos based off of my work. It hasn't happened often, but when I do get asked to design tattoos I always, always stress that I will do a base design but the client needs to listen to their tattoo artist and be ready to have changes made based on what the actual expert says. And if I don't think someone will do that, I let them know that I'm not comfortable designing for them. I LOVE these tiny, intricate lines. that's why I gravitate towards them. But I just. Knowing how badly they blow out and blur, I sometimes get Very Stressed about the idea of contributing to that, laughs.
I’m the very opposite. Although I’m not a professional artist, i still draw a lot of illustrations, and I just can’t do little delicate lines. I love thick bold line work, idk why
I wanna see more healed single needle tattoos so badly. I'm so glad that one of my clients got pretty flowers on her arm before she came to me and she wanted to send me pictures. Tbh, she got them about 3 months before and sadly some lines or shades areas were faded already
what do you think about tattoos by zihwas.tattooer or zihaes.tale on Instagram? I love their work and they're pretty famous but I don't know how they would look after a while
@@FleurDeCersier Maybe I can help you a bit there (just a bit...) ; I have a tattoo from Zihwa, but it's only been 8 months. I don't know what it'll be like years from now. Anyway, it's healed by now, and I can tell you that it has healed very well. Not blurry, nothing like that. It's single needle but a big one though, so that must have helped.
I follow a couple single needle artists and one posts healed pictures very often and talks about healing and stuff. I think hers heal quite well and appreciate how she can post a healed pic compared to fresh and mention that she can see where to improve.
@@этокакрелигия It's called "I covered up my embarrassing early 2000s tattoo" but you can always look up" as is tattoo cover up" and it's the one with the butterfly and Chinese symbol tattoo
Black boxes with a few pretty thangs. It wasnt great. I have a coverup and i have to tell people thats what it is. You could plainly tell that it her tat was covering something. Not to mention its the actual tattoo i asked for with a few pretty details she added that makes it better.
Yes. The girl getting the cover up wanted trees which I feel like would be so easy to have a black silhouette of evergreen trees for the cover up and add a backround but no. She just decided to do a black box with flowers. Wut
It took me seeing the picture of when it was first done to realize the blue was supposed to be there and it wasn't just a stain from her hair being dyed blue
Okay but at 13:25 am I the only one who is staring at the anatomy and proportion of that Egyptian women’s legs and cringing??????? Her back leg (the left one) starts way too far down! It needs to be way closer to the body.
Im only 13 and obviously dont have any tattoos but let me tell you I AM SO HAPPY THAT I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL.I just want to thank you for saving future me from making A LOT of mistakes.Ive always had a basic knowledge but i feel like ive learned so much on this channel.
i have a 7 year old fine line tattoo on my forearm that looks just as detailed as when i got it. while i have a 3 year old normal tattoo on my side/ribs that looks blurred. so it’s not necessarily the case that fine line will blur. i think it just depends on where you get the tattoo, skin health, and how much you can protect the skin.
I had the intention of having a thin lined tattoo and after seeing your video talking about them, I changed my mind. I really like detailed and thin lines but I prefer to have a tattoo that would last longer. Oh and I love your red eyeliner :D
Find an artist and look for good healed portfolios. Im workin front desk at a tattoo shop that specializes in single needle tattoos. They can design something intended to heal and age well. Not anyone can properly tattoo something so fine. Do your own research, and talk to a few artists. Ive got traditional pieces with large, thick lines. And single line pieces. The single lines are my favorites and have healed the best.
Our knowledge of single needle tattoos has improved drastically from even just a few years ago. Don’t discount a style just because someone told you that it won’t last. There are many artists who stand by their single needle tattoos (there are also many uneducated artists) but if a single needle tattoo is done properly it will have the staying power. Technology has come a long way!
Good research hunting down the video of the old tattoo to do a side-by-side 3 years later. Well done! People need to see what tattoos look like after they "settle." I know you talk about that a lot, and it's definitely important. Boo on micro-tattoos.
I saw this video the other day, and I just KNEW you'd make a video on it. So, I didn't watch it, so I could react with you. Thanks for another great video!
I personally think the tinkerbell tattoo looked better than the bird. I mean it was easily recognizable and was just an outline so even with the blurring you could tell that it was tinkerbell. I think the bird was a mistake
marcelkat the bird looked pretty when it was just done even though it was still a bit cramped together, it was just when it aged it looked shit honestly
My mom wants to get a single needle tattoo on her finger as a wedding band and I tried to explain to her it’s not gonna hold up well but I don’t think she gets it lol
Reese Oneill I have tattoos all over my fingers. There is lettering on the sides I have had for ten years. Looks great still. It’s all about the artist, they really need to get the ink in there and not pussy foot it. I don’t think my finger tattoos were single needle tho, they’re pretty substantial. Just tell her it doesn’t need to be single needle and she can still get it.
Honestly girl, thanks to your videos and guidence I managed to start my tattoo journey with right foot so to say, so keep doing your thing cuz you're amazing and really well educated and great at educating others. We love you!
13:53 tbh I can't even tell which way that butterfly is supposed to be looking. The wings are pretty, but the body is a complete mess from an anatomical pov. The 3 body segments just look like one black blob. It only has 4 legs (???), 3 wings instead of 4 (I can't tell if the actual butterfly wing is supposed to be a forewing or hindwing) and they all look like they're on the same side of the body
Her proportions seem to be all over the place in general. The wings on that bird were wildly different and wtf is going on with the hip joint of the Egyptian goddess? Yikes!
My deer is a “single needle” tattoo and it’s right above my rather bold peony and I think it looks fine! But I’m also the type of person who likes to mix up patterns with clothes so...😂 I was aware that single needle tattoos don’t last as well(thanks to you!!) when I got my deer but it is a good size(almost takes up my whole upper arm) so I hope she lasts awhile bc I love her soo much.

Speaking of relationships and tattoos, haha, reminded me of a joke/meme that has stuck in my head so well and it goes like this: Someone: Why do you have tattoos if you are afraid of commitment? Me: Well a tattoo won't wake up one morning and be like - I don't love you anymore. :D
I have one single needle tattoo, it’s really pretty. I’ve had it for about four years and it still looks the same as when I got it. I live in Southern California and always cover my tattoos in sunscreen. I get compliments on my tattoo all the time, it’s a flower on my arm and it’s by far, my favorite tattoo that I have! I love it! I can send you a picture of it, if you want to see it! I don’t know where the tattoo artist is or I would have him touch up some of my other tattoos!🌺🌺🌺
I liked the outfit to begin with and then you put on the glasses and I died 10/10👏🏼 Also does anyone else sing along to the outro now or is it just me? Haha
I love the fact you readjust your bra straps, that’s SO real, happens to me CONSTANTLY and I’m a teacher so never know if my students (adults) are thinking “WTF is she doing?”
Uh the bird tattoo. The green smudge ugh, I thought it was the tattoo underneath cuz it's so random. And you can see in the before and after, the edge of tinkerbell's wings. Yikes.
Could you please make a video showing your viewers’ fine line tattoos and how they aged? I just got a detailed tattoo yesterday and now I’m worried about how it might age...
Hey, I got a fine line tattoo yesterday as well. Do you maybe have a picture of your tattoo today? My name on instagram is esreibtsichdiehaut would be so nice, if you could tell me about how it wen for you.
6:03 I got my first tattoo about a week ago and your content helped me know what I needed to research and what to consider when choosing a tattoo, thank you so much for that! (:
I'm getting my first tattoo this year and thanks to your videos, I have learnt a lot. No rushing into it for me. Going to make sure my first tattoo isn't one I'll regret.
what do you think of "get what you get" tattoos? where the design is random and comes out of a gum ball machine or something? I have one, it's a rose and i love it
How fun! With my last tattoo I told the artist the basics I wanted and he freehanded it. I love giving the artist your trust, as long as they deserve it!
Lol @treacle tatts could you look at the buzzfeed video that is titled something along the lines of “I cover up my embarrassing 2000s tattoos”. It features the same tattoo artist, and I must say you might just get entertained by the final design of the coverup. It was SO BAD. Nobody spoil it!!
When you were saying watching was making you want another tattoo.. honestly same. I found your channel when I was waiting the 4 months till I could afford my next tattoo and your channel just made me want the time to pass faster with all the tattoo videos you review. Finally got it done Wednesday. I think I’ve become an addict because I’m already trying to figure out my next one.
Everything I would’ve said myself. Thank you for explaining it in such a constructive way. I love how you went back and looked into the timeline of the other tattoo behind the ear-more food for thought for this style of tattoo.
When I saw this video, as an artist and a tattoo enthusiast myself (I may not have many, but I have done my research over the years), it made me cringe. Not during the whole video, but I cringed. I am very curious how these will look in like two years. Especially after seeing that coverup bird aged (I saw when she first got the bird). With that one, Jesus take the wheel. I definitely wanted to address what you said about color helping hide shaky lines. From personal experience I agree. My very first tattoo consists of a set of six angel wings, and a couple of the feathers in them have slightly shakier line work. The gray wash in my tattoo does help camouflage that even though I'm aware it's there. Am I mad at that? No. Like you said, the artists are human. They aren't perfect. And this may be me, but I actually like the slightly shakier areas. I feel like it falls in line with the idea of real feathers. And yes, this video makes me want a new tattoo. Even tho I just got one 2 weeks ago. As for single needle tattoos, they just aren't my style. I like a bold designs, whether the style is traditional, Japanese, new school, etc.
Tbh as soon as I saw the video you’re reacting to in my recommended, I immediately thought of you & was hoping you’d review it!! I love your tattoo criticism videos!
I've noticed that a lot of people are leaning towards this style. I personally don't have any. My artist doesn't do them. I am going for a large piece on my upper arm tomorrow though! 👍😁 My artist said it's going to be a long day 😯 I'm nervous but still excited! 😃 Great video!!👏😃
Hi! I had a single needle tattoo made a year ago, and I think it is healing nicely. At least for now. The white highlights are gone, and I can see that the lines are a little thicker, especially in the eyes and beak, but the rest is looking fine, and I'm still really happy with it. It's a penguin on my ancle 😊
could you make a video about travelling to get tattoos? i know youve done vlogs on going to london and getting tattooed but im talking about tips, things to bring, experience, etc?
I have a fine line tattoo on my arm, but it takes up most of the backside of my upper arm so I feel that the sizing my artist chose definitely helped it stand healing. It's just over a year old now and still looks pretty amazing! Any little blurring is barely noticeable because of the space my artist left in. Definitely would get another as long as it was bigger and spacey 😂
YES I’m SO excited to watch this video, I saw the thumbnail for the original video and I was like “Uhm seriously” and immediately thought of you. Didn’t end up watching it because I wanted to see you react to it! ❤️
I have a honest question about this tattoo style. Can the aging issues be handled with semi regular/ maintenance touch ups? Or is it that once line work has gone softer it cannot be effectively cleaned up?
Best thing to do is have good spacing between the lines. Some artists are very good at single needle tattoos and their work ages well. So doing extensive research for this style is a must. If your tattoo blows out too much there's not much you can do to save it.
I actually took a one needle tattoo almost 10 years a go. My tattooist told me, its gona look shit in 5 years and he was wrong. It took less time. It says "Life is waiting for the one who loves to live" and now its a black blob. So I'll have a cover up with large stamp over it.
I was hoping for this as soon as I watched the Buzzfeed video! As soon as I saw the TITLE I was like "ooohhhh Lauren's gonna have summin' to say about this!' Honestly I thought their tattoos looked great but the video should have mentioned how they age differently.
My first tattoo was a single needle tattoo since I wasn’t educated. It got extremely blurred and horrible and because of your videos I changed completely, i am currently building a tradicional sleeve. Thank you because if it wasn’t for you i would be filled with tiny tiny tattoos
I had a single needle tattoo which contained a bunch of details, though sadly over the last year, has blurred out a lot. I've gotta admit I didn't know how these tattoos aged when I got it done, so I'm glad the word is getting out there. Still love my tattoo, just wish I knew more. Great vid :,)
Regarding the cover up: Recently I was looking to get a rose tattoo behind my ear. The artist said she wouldn’t do it due to the skin in that area. She recommended some kind of a bolder tattoo e.g. a symbol rather than something fine and delicate like a rose because the skin behind the ear couldn’t hold the ink very well and all the lines would eventually blur.
I got a beautiful single needle tattoo of a scale draped with flowers not too long ago. At the time i got it, i knew it probably won't look too good in a few years but for the time it does, i absolutely love it and already have a cover up plan in case i don't like the way it looks anymore
if i hadn't done any research, i may have gravitated towards single needle tattoos, but i'm so glad that i found youtubers like you who have taught me so much about tattoos before i even get any. while i think they can look really nice, now that i know they don't hold up as well as other styles, i would no longer consider getting one, personally.
What you said is so true 💜 I wish I found your videos before I got tattooed! Let’s just say the tattooer didn’t even tell me any basics like to make sure I eat or anything to do to prepare at all. And it turned out bad :( at least now I know for next time!!
Another reason why the cover up might be so extremely blown is because at that exact point is a lymph nodes which is part of the imune system. Scientific researchers have found out that the tattoo ink will be transported into the lymph nodes. Maybe it is so blown out because there is one of thouse directly near to it and it is a single needle tattoo
I think for these fine lines because of the size and because of the nature of tattooing they’d make for really cool geometric pieces over like detail realistic ones. Like mandala n stuff
i think it’s unfortunate that single needle tattoos became such a trend. yes they look nice when they are first done, but the only photos people ever see is when they are fresh. i think the popularity of single needle tattoos has caused people who would have never been drawn to tattoos to go blow a fat bag on a tattoo that won’t even last.
I researched my artist and he's very well known. So i figured heeey let's do it. Little did i know that tattoos always fade... I just figured only bad tattoos faded ... So yeah i've got a single needle one lol... Only 6months healed. Still looks nice but im already dreading it disappearing since it has such a personal meaning haha. My own fault 🙄🤣🤣
I feel like single needle tattoos are perfect for couple tattoos or people's names because if the relationship ends it's not too long until the tattoo goes too.... ;)
Quotidian Panda lmaoooo
Perfect idea😂😂
Now this is big brain time lmao
Thats brilliant!! Also easier to cover up or laser remove!
Oh my gods brilliant
Can you talk about getting tattoo fillers in between tattoos if you’re collecting or getting different styles around the body- for those ppl who over think getting something because they want multiple styles
Yes please
That would be great. I know that I am going to get different styles and I have no idea how to make then look good.
Oh ya totally!!!
This would actually be dope .. I've been thinking about focusing on black and grey work but I still want to have both realism and traditional pieces on my body and I want them to be able to play off of one another without looking out of place.

Jeanne Chaudanson such a good example to prove her point!!!

You should make a video about artists that make good single needle tattoos !
Alice Thirel Grace Neutral is one of them :)
They avsolutely exist! Its a very niche style to go into. Some people who do it well do it really well, but the artits are few and far between.
Yes they exist !
Lots of research. Took me a while to find some artists I think are trustworthy.
oh my, when you were describing the "egyptian" tattoo of the artist, I got chocked my the anatomical error of the leg... that is a bit violent :o
My mom wants to get a single needle tattoo on her finger as a wedding band and I tried to explain to her it’s not gonna hold up well but I don’t think she gets it lol
Maybe show her before and after pics of finger tattoos. I'm sure all she has seen were fresh ones.

Finger tattoos never hold up anyways, she would have to get touch ups often
Ray Ascione that’s not true. I’ve had mine for 10 years and I have tattoo artists that have fingers tats for 20+ years 😅
Thank you for digging out that before and after pic!!! My GOD that really convinced me, I feel so bad for her

And if you wake up and suddenly realize you don't love the tattoo you can cover it up, remove it, or change. Fun fun fun!

Are we just gonna ignore the Egyptian girls leg lol. Where tf is it coming from
I completely missed it at first, but you're right, wtf happened there?? ^^'
I was thinking the same thing😂😂
Also I don’t think the wings match up like if you put a ruler at the top of each wing, one would be lower then the other.
plus the arms are as thick as the legs too
This is what traditional eygiption art looks like! It's not a mistake of the artist or anything
Uh the bird tattoo. The green smudge ugh, I thought it was the tattoo underneath cuz it's so random. And you can see in the before and after, the edge of tinkerbell's wings. Yikes.

I didn’t even bother watching the original video cause I knew you’d cover it! Saved myself some time. 😂
6:03 I got my first tattoo about a week ago and your content helped me know what I needed to research and what to consider when choosing a tattoo, thank you so much for that! (:
I'm getting my first tattoo this year and thanks to your videos, I have learnt a lot. No rushing into it for me. Going to make sure my first tattoo isn't one I'll regret.
Can we talk about that egyptian goddess's leg being totally detached?

Updated tattoo tour please ! ! !
what do you think of "get what you get" tattoos? where the design is random and comes out of a gum ball machine or something? I have one, it's a rose and i love it
I personally would love getting a random tattoo design by an artist whose work I like
How fun! With my last tattoo I told the artist the basics I wanted and he freehanded it. I love giving the artist your trust, as long as they deserve it!
Lol @treacle tatts could you look at the buzzfeed video that is titled something along the lines of “I cover up my embarrassing 2000s tattoos”. It features the same tattoo artist, and I must say you might just get entertained by the final design of the coverup. It was SO BAD. Nobody spoil it!!
I’ll add that to the list 😄
@@treacletatts someone posted a link under another comment :)
When you were saying watching was making you want another tattoo.. honestly same. I found your channel when I was waiting the 4 months till I could afford my next tattoo and your channel just made me want the time to pass faster with all the tattoo videos you review. Finally got it done Wednesday. I think I’ve become an addict because I’m already trying to figure out my next one.
This is why I like to do research/ watch youtube videos of different types of tattoos before I get my own. I currently have 3 of them
Everything I would’ve said myself. Thank you for explaining it in such a constructive way. I love how you went back and looked into the timeline of the other tattoo behind the ear-more food for thought for this style of tattoo.
When I saw this video, as an artist and a tattoo enthusiast myself (I may not have many, but I have done my research over the years), it made me cringe. Not during the whole video, but I cringed. I am very curious how these will look in like two years. Especially after seeing that coverup bird aged (I saw when she first got the bird). With that one, Jesus take the wheel.
I definitely wanted to address what you said about color helping hide shaky lines. From personal experience I agree. My very first tattoo consists of a set of six angel wings, and a couple of the feathers in them have slightly shakier line work. The gray wash in my tattoo does help camouflage that even though I'm aware it's there. Am I mad at that? No. Like you said, the artists are human. They aren't perfect. And this may be me, but I actually like the slightly shakier areas. I feel like it falls in line with the idea of real feathers. And yes, this video makes me want a new tattoo. Even tho I just got one 2 weeks ago.
As for single needle tattoos, they just aren't my style. I like a bold designs, whether the style is traditional, Japanese, new school, etc.
Tbh as soon as I saw the video you’re reacting to in my recommended, I immediately thought of you & was hoping you’d review it!! I love your tattoo criticism videos!
Can you do another video reacting to subscribers tattoos?
Maybe host the entries of Instagram or Twitter (And not the Facebook group).
Much love ♡
I'm watching this on my television and I can't see a dang thing on the paper
Thank you for talking about this. There are many comments on the video saying how these single needle ones wont last, including my own lol
I've noticed that a lot of people are leaning towards this style. I personally don't have any. My artist doesn't do them. I am going for a large piece on my upper arm tomorrow though! 👍😁 My artist said it's going to be a long day 😯
I'm nervous but still excited! 😃 Great video!!👏😃
What are you getting done?
Hi! I had a single needle tattoo made a year ago, and I think it is healing nicely. At least for now. The white highlights are gone, and I can see that the lines are a little thicker, especially in the eyes and beak, but the rest is looking fine, and I'm still really happy with it. It's a penguin on my ancle 😊
Honestly being a tattoo virgin , you have helped me being more confident in finding the artist for me !
Really want to skip these ads, but you deserve the watch/no skip for sure! Honestly, you deserve it more than most on TH-cam. Love you! 💕
Ow you’re so sweet 😩 💕
could you make a video about travelling to get tattoos? i know youve done vlogs on going to london and getting tattooed but im talking about tips, things to bring, experience, etc?
Girl your make up is POPPIN’ in this vid, luv it 💕
I have a fine line tattoo on my arm, but it takes up most of the backside of my upper arm so I feel that the sizing my artist chose definitely helped it stand healing. It's just over a year old now and still looks pretty amazing! Any little blurring is barely noticeable because of the space my artist left in. Definitely would get another as long as it was bigger and spacey 😂
YES I’m SO excited to watch this video, I saw the thumbnail for the original video and I was like “Uhm seriously” and immediately thought of you. Didn’t end up watching it because I wanted to see you react to it! ❤️
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!! The moment I saw the video I immediately thought of what you would think of it
I have a honest question about this tattoo style. Can the aging issues be handled with semi regular/ maintenance touch ups? Or is it that once line work has gone softer it cannot be effectively cleaned up?
Best thing to do is have good spacing between the lines. Some artists are very good at single needle tattoos and their work ages well. So doing extensive research for this style is a must. If your tattoo blows out too much there's not much you can do to save it.
I thought about getting a single needle script on my neck but after watching this I don’t think I will. Thank you so much for all those information!
This blue hair red lip and eyeliner is sooo nice. I think this is the prettiest look you ever had.
I loved the tattoos artists work for the skull !
I actually took a one needle tattoo almost 10 years a go. My tattooist told me, its gona look shit in 5 years and he was wrong. It took less time. It says "Life is waiting for the one who loves to live" and now its a black blob. So I'll have a cover up with large stamp over it.
I am always impressed with your makeup, Lauren. Your colours are always bold and you certainly have a unique style :)
I was hoping for this as soon as I watched the Buzzfeed video! As soon as I saw the TITLE I was like "ooohhhh Lauren's gonna have summin' to say about this!' Honestly I thought their tattoos looked great but the video should have mentioned how they age differently.
My first tattoo was a single needle tattoo since I wasn’t educated. It got extremely blurred and horrible and because of your videos I changed completely, i am currently building a tradicional sleeve. Thank you because if it wasn’t for you i would be filled with tiny tiny tattoos
I had a single needle tattoo which contained a bunch of details, though sadly over the last year, has blurred out a lot. I've gotta admit I didn't know how these tattoos aged when I got it done, so I'm glad the word is getting out there. Still love my tattoo, just wish I knew more. Great vid :,)
Hey look, it’s Boa Hancock
Why did I know this was going to be your next video?
Red eyeliner on point!!!!!
Regarding the cover up:
Recently I was looking to get a rose tattoo behind my ear. The artist said she wouldn’t do it due to the skin in that area. She recommended some kind of a bolder tattoo e.g. a symbol rather than something fine and delicate like a rose because the skin behind the ear couldn’t hold the ink very well and all the lines would eventually blur.
YOUR EYELINER IS SO SO PRETTY!!!!
I got a beautiful single needle tattoo of a scale draped with flowers not too long ago. At the time i got it, i knew it probably won't look too good in a few years but for the time it does, i absolutely love it and already have a cover up plan in case i don't like the way it looks anymore
Hahaa i fully saw the original video on my feed & avoided watching it cause i knew you’d make one reacting to it asap ;) 😂🙏🏽
if i hadn't done any research, i may have gravitated towards single needle tattoos, but i'm so glad that i found youtubers like you who have taught me so much about tattoos before i even get any. while i think they can look really nice, now that i know they don't hold up as well as other styles, i would no longer consider getting one, personally.
What you said is so true 💜 I wish I found your videos before I got tattooed! Let’s just say the tattooer didn’t even tell me any basics like to make sure I eat or anything to do to prepare at all. And it turned out bad :( at least now I know for next time!!
HOLY CRAP damnnnnnnn. Thanks for this info. I’ll make an informed decision about my first tattoo because of you. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
finally I get sometime to watch this! u know... yesterday I was busy with the real thing! LOL 💛💛💛
I'm sure this video is as great as all the others, I'll update when I'm done with the video.
Edit: Yup! great video as always
Why comment before watching the video?
Lauren!
Your makeup artistry has improved so much lately! You’re proof that practice makes perfect 😍
As soon as I saw this video I thought of you. Love your new hand tattoo!!
I love enthusiast reacts! You’re so funny and relatable. Would love to see more of these x
Love how quick you did this! I thought of you & what I learned from you when I watched it.
Holy fucking cow!!!! The before and after on that tinkerbell cover up!! 😱 Christ!!! Just woooow!!! Omg love your content 😊!
Red lip + red eyeliner + blue hair = LOOOOOVE IT💕✨👏🏻
Love the red eyeliner! You look stunning.
I watched the original video and wanted to send it your way XD glad you made this!
Another reason why the cover up might be so extremely blown is because at that exact point is a lymph nodes which is part of the imune system. Scientific researchers have found out that the tattoo ink will be transported into the lymph nodes. Maybe it is so blown out because there is one of thouse directly near to it and it is a single needle tattoo
"Oh no wheres my phone" - Me, a dyslexic, 24/7.
Also all that pain/money, for it not to last as long is. Eh.
I think for these fine lines because of the size and because of the nature of tattooing they’d make for really cool geometric pieces over like detail realistic ones. Like mandala n stuff
i think it’s unfortunate that single needle tattoos became such a trend. yes they look nice when they are first done, but the only photos people ever see is when they are fresh. i think the popularity of single needle tattoos has caused people who would have never been drawn to tattoos to go blow a fat bag on a tattoo that won’t even last.
I researched my artist and he's very well known. So i figured heeey let's do it. Little did i know that tattoos always fade... I just figured only bad tattoos faded ... So yeah i've got a single needle one lol... Only 6months healed. Still looks nice but im already dreading it disappearing since it has such a personal meaning haha. My own fault 🙄🤣🤣
