White Ink Tattoo's Fading Journey

Rat Fink Driving My Ride

This piece was done about a week ago and features the iconic Rat Fink behind the wheel of my car. I wanted to capture a wild vibe and give my artist, @velez_tattoos, the credit he deserves. It came out looking amazing!

Healing Concerns for New Ink

I'm considering a tattoo from an artist I admire on Instagram, but I'm concerned about the healed quality shown in their recent post. I'm wondering if this tattoo has healed poorly or if my nervousness is unfounded. While I know healing isn't solely the artist's responsibility, their pride in this healed piece makes me question their standards.
