Hi lee n o mate ive not over worked it the black as just come out patchy not used to mags just yet and it hurt being on the front of my shin so i backed off a bit like u do,Anyway its healed great.But i dont want to scar my skin if its to early to go back and re ink the area in black..Any way thanks for replying mate nice one.
ok only other thing is then you dident go deep eneough are maybe you worked too quick with the pain thresshold kicking in on the other hand the ink pushed out as it healed what colour it heal as black are a bluey colour
If you go over it within 5 or 6 weeks, it will hurt like hell. I usually say around 8 weeks to redo a tribal. Black always seems crap at taking first time, and would love to know why from a pro.
Also, i always find that mags dont give a "bold, solid" colour they tend to be a more "faint" fill.

Thanks for that i will leave it for know even tho its a bit rough and i were shorts in this lovely weather were having mmmmmlol.I can sort it out,But i do prefere the round shaders tho.thanks again.
I have the problem the other way round, Done a few tats using 14RS and they come out patchy on myself. Although had no problems on tats Ive done for people. Used a 5MAG the other night and was really impressed on the solid fill and how quick it was. Hurt like hell and quite a bit of bleeding (which I didnt get with the round) BTW did it on my knee!!

Basic
I personally find mags good for shading and round for solid colour. But another mate of mine only uses mags and gets great solid or shading with them.
