My tattoos have been getting bigger over the years. I start basic and then tend to add onto things as I get more used to seeing them.

I have one on the inside of my left forearm, saying DISAPPEAR HERE. I know that script is probably a bit oldschool but it's from a novel by a writer that I love. Also, the text is a little messed up. I don't want to name the studio as it doesn't really matter because the lady who did it has left anyway. I can get that evened out.

Questions are:

Would anybody have any suggestions for shading or outlines for this? Also, I've been considering trying a different studio, and have seen some beautiful work from Stigmata, in Swords. It costs quite a bit, however. Would anybody have any recommendations?

With small things like these, I can't imagine it would be too expensive. My boyfriend is always saying my tattoos look unprofessional and unfinished, but in fairness, I'm more into symbols and text than pictures. I would just like to get them polished now.

Thanks for reading.
