So after my questions about a camcorder and purchasing one it decides to run out of battery within the first few minutes and I couldn’t get it charged, so I only have the pics Jeff took and posted up on instagram. I’m sure you have all already seen them but I thought I’d post them up incase anyone has missed them here they are.
Just like to say really cool guy and had a great experience at his shop, Off the Map Northwest. Great people there and other good artist such as Canyon Webb and Tyler Jones. I’ll try to get healed shots put up once I stop flaking.

obviously very nice work you only have to say the name to know it’s amazing. Very nice piece take care of it.
Thanks I will be taking very good cae of this one ;). Seeing as we are on the subject I would recommend the wild rose herb products, the ink balm in particular. I usually heal with bepanthen but will be using the ink balm in the future as it has aided healing this tatoo very well so far.

Do you not find that you scab a fair bit by dry healing? I did dry heal at beginning with my tattoos but found it more irratating. I think this stuff could be quite good when used lightly as a moisturiser, I think its pretty much coconut oil with a few smellies. Although I’d like to say I have no prior expertise on skin conditioning :).

I prefare to scab than to me all sticky, if you scab it’s more likely to heal better because it’s got a hard protected layer over the tattoo.
That’s the irratating part of bepanthen, very sticky and quite viscous. But I found the wild rose herb stuff to be much less sticky. It doesn’t soak into your skin to leave it dry but it is a lot less sticky and it’s natural which is a plus for me. Although I’d like to say i’m not trying to convience you (not that I could) just expressing my experience. As I think healing is a very individual thing.

Awesome work! Great colors!
I recently switched to “Redemption”. It’s a non-petroleum lubricant no doubt similar to what you use. It is used during tattoo process, then I dry wrap too.

Jeff is awesome! And dry healing is better but scabbing is NOT better. I use the dry wrap method and I rarely scab.
Just want to add: Your ultimate goal is to peel fast. Faster peel equals faster heal. Scabbing prolongs that process and you have a MUCH higher chance of losing ink after scabbing.
