      It wouldn’t hurt to get another artist to look at it and give their advice on what you should do.

      I’m not sure I understand your question. If you want to cover up that tribal tattoo than keep in mind the tattoo that you get to cover it up will have to be at least three times the size of the tattoo you already have.

    ok. how come some tattoo is greenish colour while mine black ?

      I really don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with the ink your tattoo artist used or your body could of had some kind of reaction to the ink causeing it to look black and not green.

      Well If Their Tribal Looks An Off Color Such As Green And Not (BLACK) For One The Artist Could Have Sucked, Secondly The Ink Used Could Have Been Low Quality. And Last But Not Least The Tattoo Could Be Old And Done Long Ago And With Any Of The Above Factors Could Be Why There Tattoo Looks Green As You Say But I Think Your Meaning More Of That Faded Black That Looks Blue…. Anyhow TRIBAL In General Is Supposed To Look Black Thats One Of The Main Aspects Of Tribal… And The Best Ink For The Blackest Tattoo’s Is (KURO SUMI) And That Is Fact.. Until Next Time…ROCK ON!!!
