Default Got A Cover-Up Done

Hey Folks, newbie here.

I have been reading the forum for some time, and enjoy the info and Art.

I got a cover-up done, just finished about an hour and half ago, and man o man, she is burning..

Got it done on my Forearm, would post a pic, but wrapped right now, and pic will do no justice, so maybe tomorrow I will snap a pic.

This isnt my first, but its been 17 years since my last, besides a touch-up job done on my calf last week.

Out of curiousity, how long should I leave the wrap on? I hear 2 hours, my artist said 6. Just wondering..

Im also using Tattoo Goo, as my ointment

Any way, look forward to continue following the forum, and the great art.

Personally for healing, I use Aquaphor by Eucerin. It works MAGIC!!!

And Tattoo Goo is more for after it's healed.. IMO

I use aquaphor too! Works very well my brothers recommended it, wish I would have used it on some of my other tats.
