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.

its healed black with shades of grey i know ive gone in right but i think were the tattoo is ive sort of shaded as well roughly know what ive done wrong plus the mags had something to do with it,well truthfully ive only just started using them.Ive done other tattooos for friends ect come out great but like i said i used 14rs brill going back to them.Anyway just want to know how long before recolouring......cheers mate

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!!

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.
