Tatted Mom
Tucson, AZ
Female, 32
I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.
A good, honest artist would. I don't do portraits. I wouldn't even begin to do portraits. I've had people come to me, asking for portrait tattoos, and I've pointed them in the direction of a portrait tattoo artist. Every artist has a "style". Some don't mind going out of their comfort zones, some stick to what they know.

Please don't use Neosporin to heal a tattoo. It causes the skin to heal too quickly, resulting in a loss of ink. Use A&D ointment, Aquafor or white, unscented lotion.

Without seeing it, it's difficult to answer. You could add some tiny roses to the beginning and end of the date, which will camoflage it, maybe? That's a tough one.
Share Answer: 
Tattoos on the bottoms of the feet and palms of hands don't last long- that's why most artists won't do them. The skin is tough, and because the feet and hands exfoliate skin at a rapid pace, the tattoo does fade more quickly and needs several touch ups in short periods of time.
