This project is taking longer than expected at no fault to anyone. Sometimes you get a tattoo and discover something along the way, like possibly a change in your body. This is still missing browns, a yellow green and then white (and any touch ups).
I won't be a Dr Nick and try to diagnose, but as a tattoo artist it means I have to have the skills and patience to change my approach. In this case, I have to run my machine very low and slow, among other things.
A bad tattooer won't either know or care, and will drill colors into you... And then the colors might just fall out completely or worse - scar. I've seen enough photos like that on FB of panicking clients regretting who they chose.
I've worked with many different skin types and skin conditions at this point and I appreciate learning something new yet again.
