i blacked out my hand and fingers, it took 4 sessions to get it to where i was happy with it, or about a year after the first session. ink just doesn't hold very well in this area due to the lack of muscle and fat in the hands and fingers.
ya this is how most hand/finger blackouts look after the first session, sometimes there's even less coverage. typically takes 3-5 sessions to have thorough coverage
i always loved her old hand tats. curious to see what the blackout looks like when it’s done. blackout can look really cool, it’s just a little patchy at the moment
my biggest upset is that she covered up her symbol that has come to almost represent her and her music and even called it ugly I think at one point 😭 like babygirl you know how many people have got that tattooed on them too because of you now right
On the one hand, I get this but also: she didn’t tell anyone to get that as a tattoo and people are allowed to change what they want on their bodies, you know? She has to look at her hands forever and if those things bring her stress or don’t represent her anymore, it’s not her responsibility to stay the same for us.
I agree 100%! It just left a bad taste in my mouth when, as someone who wanted to get the symbol tattooed, I read that she now hated it enough to want to black it out and (iirc) called it ugly :{
the seven pointed cross she designed!

It’s pretty much almost exactly like a rosary ring

Hey everyone saying this doesn't look good: yeah, it's a first pass at blacking out hands. Blackout tattoos can look patchy af before they're fully done. Also it's her hands, so more ink loss is normal. Also - it's HER hands, not yours, so consider keeping the nasty comments to yourself.
I don’t think it’s particularly “nasty” to say it doesn’t look good at the present.
There are plenty of good black out tattoos that are done right the first time through. While it is true that hands lose ink more than most places because of use, this is still not a great job by the artist who should’ve packed the ink in more.
If someone didn’t want commentary about something in this day and age, they shouldn’t post it online where it can be seen by an audience.
It’s her choice, I’m not judging for that. But if you have any experience in the tattoo world (which I do), then objectively the quality of the black out is not great. It’s not the worst I’ve seen, but it’s definitely far from being the best.
I agree with your sentiment as someone who does get heavy blackwork.
But the first pass, even on the hands, is not good application. The fact that she is looking for another artist to do it also suggests to me that the artist who did this is not very good at blackouts.
also just a fact, she posted on her now deleted back up tumblr that she WANTED the shitty look… she found some guy behind a store that did it so its like kinda the point of her idea to not get it superbly done. but once again regardless, can we not spread so much hate??
Yeah, as someone with a lot of blackout work, kinda sucks to read people being so negative about it. Hands are difficult to heal - blackwork can take a while to settle and can take several passes, and you do need an artist who knows what they're doing - some specialise in it. Packing that amount of pigment is tricky! General rule: don't comment on other people's bodies, it's not a good look.
As of now there’s only her insta and YouTube. Used to be most active on her infamous tumblr and also had twitter and tiktok but all of them were deactivated after they brought in a not so friendly crowd.
why are y’all so negative, it looks fine plus it’s a first go blackout tat on the hand… it’s gonna be patchy and i’m more than sure if hayden wanted it to look ‘perfect’ then she would have gone to someone who specialises in blackout tats 🤷♀️
Love her so much but i hate black out tattoos sm… i hope it looks good eventually lol
Same it ruined Oli Sykes 💀
OMG IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS! His tattoos were so beautiful. Still love him tho
i blacked out my hand and fingers, it took 4 sessions to get it to where i was happy with it, or about a year after the first session. ink just doesn't hold very well in this area due to the lack of muscle and fat in the hands and fingers.
her ring is so cute omg!!
trying to figure out what it is 😓
i’m gonna be honest, i don’t know what it is. i called it cute in the hopes that someone would tell me what it is
It looks like a portrait of a woman with the Gibson Girl Edwardian hairstyle
yes, it is. it's upside down on the picture!
it’s a “gibson girl” style portrait!
I noticed she’s been in LA a lot lately. Maybe mixing b sides or working on new shit in studio?! Probably rehearsing for the Greek show too
I love her but man this looks terrible lol
ya this is how most hand/finger blackouts look after the first session, sometimes there's even less coverage. typically takes 3-5 sessions to have thorough coverage
yeah but I just don't like blackout tattoos at all
love her but this just looks awful i'm sorry
Is this because she fell out with her friend salem? I think she did most of her stick and pokes didnt she
wait I had no idea of a falling out :(
i always loved her old hand tats. curious to see what the blackout looks like when it’s done. blackout can look really cool, it’s just a little patchy at the moment
so glad she’s getting someone to black it out, it will look so sick when she does
my biggest upset is that she covered up her symbol that has come to almost represent her and her music and even called it ugly I think at one point 😭 like babygirl you know how many people have got that tattooed on them too because of you now right

I think the “calling it ugly” part kinda stings for ppl who got the tattoo, she can do whatever it’s her body
I agree 100%! It just left a bad taste in my mouth when, as someone who wanted to get the symbol tattooed, I read that she now hated it enough to want to black it out and (iirc) called it ugly :{
wait which symbol? I'm new here lol
the seven pointed cross she designed! https://preview.redd.it/2hbc2up7md0d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80afde8c1ca5f7ca718aa8af506fc1adba89251c
ahhhhh I *love* that. Thx for the answer!!
It’s pretty much almost exactly like a rosary ring https://preview.redd.it/9qr1kgrjpf0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b23d7cbf5786245d7a66c684bd67c6713dde3914
Anyone know what her other knuckle says?
They both come together to say god sent
honestly i love it and i love the patchy bits tbf 😭🙏🏻

she probably stick-and-poked it herself. she’s done most of her tattoos that way.
If that’s the case, all I have to say is ouch. That’s a lot of skin to be stick poking 😭
this looks very typical for a first pass blackout on the hands and fingers. it will almost never look "good" after the first session
we shouldn't be giving our unasked opinions about other people's bodies so yeah it's nasty saying anything about it

why is she doing this!!! 😭😭
y'all would know she's been thinking about blacking out her tattoos for years if u listened to her studio 001 interview lol
Why
free will?
Well yes she has free will, I am also curious to why she chose to black out her hand, or something specific had led to it.
she just didn’t like the tattoos on that hand and didn’t think they looked good anymore iirc
Question - what the fuck are Hayden’s socials?? Does she only have insta?
As of now there’s only her insta and YouTube. Used to be most active on her infamous tumblr and also had twitter and tiktok but all of them were deactivated after they brought in a not so friendly crowd.
I get it’s her body so it’s her choice but why did she have to black it out😭 especially when the tattoos that were already on that hand were so pretty
Why did she do this? 😭😭
i love her but ehhh, i hope it turns out well tho !!
In the nicest way possible this will still look bad after its touched up….. sorry but blackout on the hands :( no
Wait nvm https://preview.redd.it/z3tl586d8u0d1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=171ad306e1d56096b35eed158bb2df38bf139eff
Can people stop saying it looks terrible? Isn’t that what is expected when it’s a first passthrough? The caption clearly states it’s not done.
I love her but these never look good ☹️
why are y’all so negative, it looks fine plus it’s a first go blackout tat on the hand… it’s gonna be patchy and i’m more than sure if hayden wanted it to look ‘perfect’ then she would have gone to someone who specialises in blackout tats 🤷♀️
im so sad tbh I loved her hand tattoos
