Is white ink enough to save this?
Hi all. I got these pieces to go together, they’re each half of Anor Londo from Dark Souls. For those unfamiliar there’s a daytime theme as well as a nighttime theme, and I wanted each leg to be one of those. My problem is my artist, who I’ve gone to for over 10 years and love, went super heavy with the shading. In my opinion, the nighttime leg looks like pitch black, and the daytime leg looks like it could be nighttime.
I had done some laser sessions on some other tattoos but my body had a bad reaction so I’m very hesitant to get more laser work done. I’m wondering if just blasting each side with white highlights will be doable. To be clear, I’m not looking for super bright vivid highlights, my goal is just to made shaded parts look unshaded by adding white and adding contrast to each piece. From any more than like a foot away, the nighttime leg just looks like a huge black blob.
I’ve also attached a reference photo that has more contrast like I was imagining. Thanks for your help!
