Hey guys

So I got a new tattoo on friday on my ribs a bit bigger than my fist.
My artist told me originally that it would take about 1.5 hours but in the end it took 2.5 hours as my skin didnt take the tattoo well and he had to keep going over the same area again and again. He said had experienced this about 10 times in last 4 years.:(

I thought about this after and I’m on acne medication minocyline for my skin. Does anyone know if this would be the reason for my skin not taking the tattoo well?? He said it shouldn’t effect the outcome but I’m wondering if I should keep off the medication for next few weeks just in case.

40bucks?? I don’t know whats customary cause was on vacation when got it done. And I know the poor fella was in bits sweating like a divil. So any idea if this medication should affect the outcome??

No, taking an oral antibiotic will have absolutely no effect on the tattoo.

Good looking tat so congrats! I am a pharmacist and I have not heard or read any literature on minocycline to affect the ink from sticking on your flesh and/or slowing the healing process. You should be good!

Hello,
I think it looks pretty damn good.
What parts required going over? I’ve been told that I take red ink very well. Apparently on others red ink is a problem.

Whats the story?

Sam
