What is the deal with the UK artists and thier “clingfilm”? Do you not realize that clingfilm used to cover fresh tattoos is a bad idea. When you use it, it keeps the wound from getting air and breeds bacteria. I believe that the only time your tat should be covered is on the drive home and then it should be covered…[Read more]

I recomend 7 days. clean in the morning add your normal ointment, and then again in the eve. keeping it covered with clingfilm… blah blah blah. stay out of the sun. and the pool.

Nice guns btw, you made this girl very happy.

Yay for getting a cliché tattooed on your body that everyone and their brother’s all ready got! Meaningless twaddle for the win mother fuckers!

(oh to be young again) A friend of mine requested a tattoo over strech marks… the skin did not take too well to being tattooe’d and I had to colour the whole thing with an outline… Depends on how bad it is tho. 🙂

Again din’t see much difference between using the two. AfterCare is way more conviniet to carry in a bag and wont attack you eveytime you open the lid…

Hi Apes

Not a tattoo artist but from my research a few pointers to improve your office/studio. I say this even if it is for skins/fruit/practice as will get you into a good habit for if/when you get your own place or rent.

First of all no soft furnishings. The reason for this is that droplets of body fluids (saliva, blood…[Read more]

Instead of healping people learn they just blast them!

nicer pointers would have been nice. what you should I do to make it more ‘acceptable’ by your standards. and not to just assume I am a certain age and a certain classification. I have…[Read more]
