Question 1

How wide should a solid black armband be?

Accepted Answer

Most sit between one and three inches. The width is chosen against the arm it is going on rather than picked off a reference — a band that looks balanced on a slim forearm reads as a stripe on a heavy upper arm. It is stencilled and checked on you before anything is tattooed.

Question 2

Does solid black hurt more?

Accepted Answer

Packed fill is a longer, more repetitive sensation than linework rather than a sharper one, and it is the part of a session people most often want a break during. Breaks are taken whenever you ask for them.

Question 3

Can blackwork cover an old tattoo?

Accepted Answer

It is one of the most reliable cover-up approaches, because solid black and heavy line can absorb an existing design instead of competing with it. Feasibility is assessed free at consultation.
