Q: So I have a tattoo and I'm just curious about artists and who will work on what... Here's the deal: my tattoo is black and white and although I was very pleased with it at first, after a long while I realized it wasn't as detailed/shaded as good as I thought. Now I know tattoos fade, they need to be touched up and whatnot, but I've came to the conclusion that I'd maybe like another artist to touch it up/add more detail. The original artist wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I'd hoped in detail. Then oneday I happened to see another artists work and loved how he does his shading. Would it be wrong to ask this new artist if he could add more detail/shading to another artists work? Would a tattoo artist even do that? Any answers appreciated. Thanks.

yes a tattoo artist would and it's not wrong you are paying for the work so it's not a big deal.

Hi, thanks for coming to my column.

The name is Diamond but Dia is fine.

20, female, jersey girl at heart. mixed race taurus natured woman.

So...the reason I made this was during the start of my senior year of high school I had reached a point in my life where I didn't want to live anymore. I was tired of fighting and didn't see the reasons to fight. It was a random stranger that made me realize I would be stupid to take my life and to stop fighting.

So if you think I'm going to tell you life gets easier, I'm not. Let's face it, it doesn't get easier. Through pain you get stronger and learn to open your eyes to those things that give you strength to live.

Mine happen to be music, writing, dr. pepper, anime, the color black, the way rain sounds, and an amazing boyfriend. What gives you strength to live?
