Seeking Artist Advice for Second Tattoo
I'm planning my second tattoo and need help identifying a skilled artist. I'm looking for guidance on the work of the artist I've shared, as I'm unsure how to differentiate quality. The tattoo will be small, similar in size to a shell tattoo.
Allergies Affecting My New Tattoo
I experienced severe allergies during the healing of my new Medusa tattoo, leading to bumps and potential scarring.

Cardinal and Snowdrops Memorial
