Got my tattoo fixed

Draco · Jun 17, 2015

2 years ago, I got a tattoo in dedication the battle I went through from my Thyroid Cancer =

The first photo is the before. I was not happy with how it came out. the lines are too thick and not straight. The artist didn't want to 'fix' it.. so I said screw it.

Yesterday I found another artist by rep and great reviews. We talked and designed together and this is the final result. I am happy with it. I may go back and get some flowers added.. not sure yet.

Wow - love it

The new version looks so much better :nod: I think it looks great just as it is.

I like it! They did a nice job.

I agree. It looks great!!! I wouldn't change anything else!! My BIL had thyroid cancer, too. He got it from going down into the wreckage of the World Trade Center after 9/11. A lot of first responders got cancer after that.

Fortunately, they caught it early and he's OK too now other than the fact that he no longer has a thyroid. I'm glad that both of you made it through your battles

He did a great job fixing it! :clap:

Draco · Jun 17, 2015

thanks all! I am happy with it

@Kat0121- thanks. I hope your BIL is fairing well. It's not easy to live without a thyroid!

MoochNNoodles · Jun 17, 2015

It looks great!! I don't think you "need' to add anything else. They did a great job altering it!

Nice, Draco!

Norachan · Jun 18, 2015

Nice! I really like the colours.

Is that your only tattoo? I think they're kind of addictive, once you have one you start planning what you'll get next.........

pushylady · Jun 18, 2015

I think it looks good too. Nice fix!

Thanks. He is doing OK. He has to take meds to compensate for the lack of a thyroid. No, it's not easy at all but he's alive and we're glad about that.

I agree. I have four and started thinking about #5 as soon as #4 was done.

I gotta wait though. DD is working on her bachelor's and after that she will start for her master's so once that is over and she gets herself into a career I can go into ME (and furkids, of course! ) mode.

the colors are the Thyroid Cancer awareness colors (though it didn't turn out exactly.. ugh)

Tattoos are addictive. I have 3, and I want to add on to one of them.

That is great. The artist did an awesome job fixing it.

@Norachan I've always been told they are addictive. I know several people who want to get more and more (my daughter for one, LOL)

I have one on my left forearm for my daughters (a red heart with the kanji symbol for soul in the middle of it) and I want one more for my beautiful baby boys that I lost (George, Raven & Ghost). I am planning on getting a yin yang symbol with a black and a white cat for them.

George was a tuxedo. Raven was solid black and Ghost was solid white. I figure this will be good for all 3 of them.

I have a large tattoo on my shoulder of a lotus flower but it's faded--I've talked on and off for years about getting it recolored. This thread is inspiring me--maybe I'll finally go get it done!

That's a beautiful tat. I have 7. One for each of my grandchildren. I have dumbo, a unicorn, a cat on each arm and one on my hand, a little dog on my left beast

That's a beautiful design. In Japanese the kanji would be pronounced Kyou Zon, which means co-existence. I guess it has a different way of being pronounced in Chinese but the meaning would be the same.

Wow, that's impressive Stewball. Did you get them all done in Israel or the UK?

I have two small ones that I had done while I was living in England and a big back piece, that took three sessions to finish, that was done in Japan. I'd love to get another one, if ever I have any spare cash.
