17drchud17 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 About a week ago I got a bamboo tattoo on my left shoulder and it was a strong black color. Now it seems to be blue and I need to know if it could be a possible infection or really just why it no longer looks the way I wanted it too. Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rucus7 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 It sounds like they may have accidently used disappearing ink........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You must have washed it before vaseline hardened into it's protective shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wana Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) maybe there was no black ink left in the shop so they used navy blue and hoped you wouldnt notice Edited March 14, 2012 by wana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr78 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They probably used dark blue color instead of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wana Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They probably used dark blue color instead of black. thats just what i was thinking ,tattoos do fade but usualy its over years ...not 5 or 6 days i still dont understand why people let these guys in tourist areas tattoo them just because the prices are lower than usual when i lived beside kao san rd i met a girl who got a badly tattooed elephant on her shoulder ,it didnt look anything like the picture on the wall the shop refused to even give a discount shops like these really dont care since they get thousands of backpackers passing per day so they dont have to worry about reputation or doing it welll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are more good tattoo artists than bad ones (from what i have seen), so if one bothers doing some research one would end up with a good tattoo.

Bakeman Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Some peoples skin cannot accept black ink. I had my tattoo refinished 3 times. It took reds, greens and blues but no black. And the black faded to dark gray. At least you should have a unique blue tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17drchud17 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 It was just dead skin! Once I had washed it a few times and it had peeled it was back to its original black haha thanks everyone for your help. I trusted the artist because he was recommended to me by some locals and another tattoo artist had just had his piece finished before me which looked great. I payed good money and took my time when searching for a reputable shop in town. Here's how it turned out if anyone was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgs2001uk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Haha my next question was going to be what does it say Two things, as I mentioned earlier, you werent tattooed with bamboo, the needle had a bamboo shaft. If that design was ripped off from Ajarn Nu's website (which it very much looks like it has) then the writing is incorrect. The writing on the website is deliberately incorrect to stop people ripping off his work. Only you will know where the design came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
