@victoriatattoos: We started this tattoo 2 years ago and just finished it! I wasnt sure if I wanted to share this experience, but I feel like it’s helpful for beginner tattooist to see why its important to design big instead of small. Also a factor as to why the piece healed the way it did was numbing cream! If applied incorrectly (usually left on too long) it can cause the skin to feel blubbery and be hard to tattoo. Ive personally tried numbing cream so many times and can never get it right so i just go without! #tattoorework #oldtattoo #animetattoo #fruitsbasket
