Question about healing/tweaking

[LagartoAzul]

OK - I got a new piece this weekend at AON. There is a small star in it, and I decided to have it fading from dark at the bottom to light at the top (matches the lettering around it). Now I am wishing I had made it a nautical star. 2 questions: 1) is it possible to retro nauticalize it? (yes, I made that word up). I'd hope we could just add white to half of the darker parts. 2) do I need to let it heal completely before doing that?

Its a great piece and I definitely dont want to eff it up. Once it heals I'll write up a testimonial and post a pic. Thanks for any advice.

yes they can work some magic Im sure and yes it has to be VERY well healed before climbing in on it.

just swing by the shop in a few weeks and discuss!

Done - thanks Brandon. This was my second piece there and i'll definitely be back. Both experiences were fantastic, and the work is just phenomenal (got Tim O and John L - who's next?). The new shop is great!
