Correction of a tattoo by another tattoo artist 🌙
Lera had a tattoo with a snake and botanical elements, which was about 3-4 years old at the time of correction.
The task was significant because I needed to fix almost everything: update the entire outline, restore the snake’s face, add shading to the tattoo to separate the objects, and modify the tail so that its dynamics fit well on this part of the arm. Additionally, I had to draw the snake because a huge part of it behind the flowers and leaves was simply missing (why this happened, no one knows and never will :). I also needed to add a tongue to the snake, as well as leaves, flowers, and spider webs next to it 🌚
Any cover-ups and corrections are always more challenging than tattooing on clean skin. This is because the tattoo artist must consider not only the client’s wishes but also a number of technical factors: the placement of the existing tattoo, its composition, the state of the pigment under the skin, and based on that, determine how to correct the tattoo. Here’s what I done in one long session 🪴I’ve added several close-up photos to the post, as well as a photo with a small sketch drawn with a pen on the skin before the session.
thanks again for your trust and patience. I’m truly glad that the snake has now gotten a second life (if I can put it that way) and additionally has stylistically matched the other tattoos we’ve managed to create together 🖤
