There are a lot of tattoos out there that tattoo enthusiasts have acquired through their lifetime that they regret, or wished could be improved. There is hope for some of those situations, it just takes a little time to consult with your artist and figure out a solution. Whatever the situation, do not rush the project. Research and due diligence is worth your time and effort. Our studio handles all kinds of issues and problems with existing tattoos. The key is trusting your tattoo artist and being open to suggestions. Total cover-ups may be the answer to some projects as opposed to re-working an existing tattoo to look brand new. Don’t loose hope if you are in that situation, often solutions are there, you just need to find the right tattoo artist for the project. Keep in mind there are some projects that an honest artist will admit that he cannot work with, it happens, so listen up. This particular tattoo circulated the internet and had a happy ending for the customer and his artist, thought you might find it interesting.

Charlie Spencer, Studio 21 Tattoo artist and owner, spends his spare time creating black and white pointillism artwork. Pointillism, a popular 19th century French painting technique uses small dots of pure color placed next to each other and when viewed from a distance tones appear to blend together. This style goes back to the neo impressionist art movement, Georges Seurat, being one of the most popular painters of this era. Charlie has chosen this style of tediously applying dots over and over with Micron pens to achieve the darks and lights of tonal value desired, creating great detail. In black and white pointillism the two dots placed next to each other create “optical mixing” creating a perceived single tone. His artwork has been displayed at various themed art venues and events including Cornerstone Gallery and Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery.
