the old me vs new • (done by me) fix up job • Instagram : chidgeytattoos • Austin, TX

Coming up on 8 years now of tattooing I obviously wasn’t always good. My work heals & lasts but not every tattoo I did from 2018-2021 was my best, I was still figuring out color, my style, my supply preference, ink preference, you name it. This tattoo was done by me in 2021 during an experimental phase. It’s now 2026 & I’ve found my style fully / really mastered color packing for the most part. (Always room to learn though). Yesterday I fixed my 2021 tattoo I made on a client I love, you can definitely see what 5 years of getting better means. No, not all my tattoos from 5 years ago healed like this / look like this, some way older than this I did actually look just as good, I’m just way more consistent with being solid now!
