Hey!
I have muscle pain, and it’s been like 6 months! It’s on my leg, it has colour and it’s the size of a full grown Koi fish in real life, so it’s big :). The pain doesn’t kill me and is not there all the time, but sometimes it is. I had no idea! I have other tattoos and they don’t hurt. Weird hu?
It feels like when you wo…

well the shadign around the right shoulder / top arm one looks like it could easily be extended out into a fuller sleeve.

what kind of stuff do you like?

Agree with buttwheat too. get them reworked in as part of the process to give them some more clarity and fit in with the overall tattoo / sleeve better

first things first. get medical treatment and advice from a professional. cold water and antibacterial soap is a good start but you may need antibiotics and an infected skin over a tattoo might well ruin it entirely.

after that i would consider caring for it like a regular tattoo keep it dry and moisturise to treat the damaged skin.

I’ve seen some amazing work to reduce the appearance of scars, carried out by people who do semi-permanent make-up type work not ‘actual’ tattoists. I think different technique, equipment and pigments.

Hope it heals as you want it to – good luck!

Looks awesome!!!!

you’re so helpful…

Best recommendation at the moment is to use Yelp as they have a good selection in Seattle with a lot of reviews.

Does anyone else have any experience using the tattooists in Washington?

the +- thing is a pretty cool idea. is also very personal so you dont need to disclose the reasons behind it if you dont want to. possibly build that into a bigger idea so that its not just a +- on its own which might look a bit sparse unless it was really thick lines.

Do however make sure to advise the tattoo artist that there is a possible risk…[Read more]

How did you get on?

You have SO much potential. I would love to see some of your original artwork. Keep at it!
