Lightening

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this but I'm going to give it a shot and let admin move it if needed.

I have two questions (and I'm not an apprentice). A few years ago I had a tat done and discovered that my skin doesn't take red well. The tat is of a Pegasus and was supposed to be lavender. The artist mixed blue and red and white and tested the color on his rag and it was perfect but when it went on my skin it turned out dark blue. About 6 months later I had a test spot done using an actual lavender ink and it came out medium blue....Red just doesn't like me...lol). Is it possible to somehow lighten the Pegasus? And if so....how?
Whoever said that anything's possible never tried slamming a revolving door.

Re: Lightening

wow...
I have never heard of red coming out as blue in the skin - possibly blue remnants left over in a dirty tube?

Re: Lightening

yeah thats weird but i have a friend that has a tattoo done by a professional machine but he must have used shitty quality ink because it's an eagle and he said it used to be brown, but its now green. plus the lines look like shit.
