rejuvenated

beforeafterI love doing repairs. I like old tattoos, too. The texture of them, the way they soften and blend outward. I like finding the hidden image under the layers and bringing it back to the surface, crisper and fresher than it was.

I have seen this usmc tattoo flash often over the years but never tattooed it fresh. I’ve actually repaired this exact same design several times on several people…

I decided to get a picture of it this time.
