A small one-point tattoo of about 5-6cm, done 2 years ago.

By Aiko · Kanagawa

A small one-point tattoo of about 5-6cm, done 2 years ago. The second photo shows how beautifully it healed. It's incredibly small, so my honest feeling was, 'I'm glad it remained so clear!' However... I received a consultation with the request, 'I want to cover it somehow!!!!' The design Chappy made was too difficult, so I adjusted it as much as possible to create the current design. Even if a tattoo is applied beautifully, excessively small tattoos may blur or fade over several years⚠️ (This is not always the case). Therefore, when getting a small tattoo, it's necessary to be somewhat prepared for this possibility. Regarding cover-ups like this one, honestly, it's not a type of cover-up we usually do. Generally, cover-ups involve tattooing a larger design over the original tattoo. So, please don't think, 'I can get a cover-up in a similar way!' Also, I don't necessarily have the skill to design things perfectly. However, if you have a consultation like, 'Can something be done about this???', I will do everything I can, so please feel free to consult me. By the way, it just occurred to me, is this a cover-up? Or is it more of a brush-up? I feel like it's the latter. Either way, I'm glad it was completed successfully. Thank you as always!
