i personally have two tattoos and i never experienced this… i hope that it is just the ink on the top layer of your skin and that they didnt mess it up on you..
probally the scabs don’t pick it it look kack if you do
the scabs have came off.. its completly healed im just stuck with ink stain?!!
I’ve got 5 and none have done that does it look kack
i know that when i got my tattoos… the artist doing them… did little things to them other than the pictures that i brought in… its a way of making it his or her own… are you sure that they didnt do this to yours??
it looks ok it just when artificial light is on it you can notice it, no its deifnatly not to do with the artist.. i have never seen this on anyone before.. starting to get a little worried!!
were is it
just above my pant line, on my hip
what about getting it touched up or adding to it i now getting tattoos is addictive :)
yeh i would but i think if i have it extended to cover the smudgin it would look **** because its like a love heart pattern with wings.. my dad designed it for me aswell dont really want to change it but if this stain is permanent then im gonna have to aint i lol.. have you ever heard of this before?
i think you should go back to the place where you got it done because that is not normal
well a mates went like it but i’m not sure if it was supposed to be like it…..but it put people off going to the artist and it did look shxt
there not gonna be able to help me tho are they??.. its either there forever or is gonna wash off! no point and the man scares me lol
did it ever come off??
no….you’ll may to have something added were did you get it done
sorry not very good with typing
my friends uncle did it.. he did 2 of my mates the same day and theres is perfect i dont no if it was because i did any thing wrong.. this might sound abit stupid but do you think if it would fade a little if i put fake tan just over the smudged bits?? im going on holiday with my bf soon and want it to look nice in my bikini..
adding something to the tattoo where the smudge is sounds like a good solution. maybve you should get it done by somebody else
i don’t now about that never used fake tan lol
yeh a wud but it wudnt look right extending it because of what my tattoo is if that makes sense.. and hehe i havent ever used fake tan either cuz im olived skinned anyways.. my dad reckons it cant stay there forever because its nt tattooed into my skin but as time gooes on im more worriedd!! x
batterys goin on ma laptop fankss anywayss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ill go into a place and see what they fink xx
it may fade and or it might not notice as much as you think it does
seeing a professional for advice would be the best thing and if you have olive skin do not use fake tan you will be orange
poor girl
that smudging happened to me too. it was gone when the tat fully healed.
ah, i just read the rest of the posts and i see that yours is already healed. uh oh, now i don’t know. that’s definitely not good, and i agree that you should talk to the guy who did it, or just go to any tattoo shop and ask them. good luck!
wat do think about the fake tan thing :)
well, it’s a temporary solution for a permanent problem. it may help it look okay in a bikini, but it might wash off it you get wet. or you could try concealer cream in your skin color.
its not my tattoo all mine r good but i think she should have something added maybe cover it a bit
oh sorry! adding to it would work, or she could get the smudging done all around it so it looks like it was intended to be part of the design. or, if you have the money, laser removal of the smudges?
btw, to charlie: did you happen to put vaseline on it right after getting it done? i’ve heard that it screws with the ink.

wish i had known that when i did the tat. vaseline is pretty much a miracle healer :)
How old ws the tat when you posted this? If it was in the first few days, its normal. The needles are dipped in the ink, some of the ink will sluff of the dead skin it produces.
Where did you get this tat done? Was it done by a professional?
if your concerned you should go and ask the person that did the tatoo 4 u.
I had a tattoo about six months ago on the inside of my upper arm .Ive got the same as you an ink stain underneath it. The tattooist said its called ghosting and very rare . Its something to do with the fat under your skin that absorbs the ink .he told me not to worry it will go but it takes time.
I had a tattoo done last week and the smudging is awful! in the same place as u, on my hip! i am panicing it will never go! did yr smuding ever disappear?
I’d actually like to know the answer to what happened too… I just got one on my hip yesterday and it looks like it’s smudges around most of the entire border! Also when I clean it with hot water (like I was told), some of the ink like comes off on the gauze I use… normal?
i had my first tatto on my wrist about a month ago and the first star is qiuet small and it looks smuged..and im worried that it will stay like it forever :(
