thanks for the advice guys, i do lose some colour because the thick scabbing cracks in areas that wrinkle a lot and then the cracks weep and re-scab. problem with cling film is it makes me sweat and then thats just a breeding ground for bacteria nad asking for infection. I cant use A&D cream as it has lanolin in it and im allergic to it.

Thanks for you comments, i wanted something completely unique, so glad to hear you say its something you’ve not seen before, Phil Webster is one of englands undiscovered talents in my opinion.

By the way how are you gonna cover the tribal?

I am having the tribal reworked and made to look like it is a metal plate structure raised off the skin with the bio mech underneath, should look cool, will post picures as soon as its done, although i think it will be towards the end of the tattoo so watch this space 😎

That is sweet and for an artist so young the work is amazing! You should be proud dude, looks the business! ive just started a bio/mech sleeve and chest plate, but mine is more like a guy aitchison style, mixed with realism.

If your for real i would really give it some thought, although i think people should be able to have ink where they please the social stigma would definitely be an issue! If you own your own business dealing with the public then it could even lose you business, (most people wanting landscaping are middle class, in there 40 or above) a social group who might not look on a face tattoo too favourably

If you find a competent artist sorting it should be fairly easy. You should do some research and find the best artist in your area, check out there portfolio to make sure you like there style, believe me there are artists out there who will give you a rocking tattoo you can be proud of, but be prepared to pay £50-90 an hour for the best artists. usually if an artist can fit you in straight away they tend to not be very good, where-as a good tattoo artist will have a 3-6 month waiting list.

If i was you bro i would take our advice and change artists, you say you only think the arm is wrong, but her face is ugly, her tits are uneven, there is no shading what so ever, the grim reapers arm and hands are wrong and once its fully done it WILL be hard to rectify! Cost should not come into it when having ink, its there for life and so worth the investment!

well if im completely honest, which is always the best policy i believe, the art work isnt great, the girls arm looks very out of proportion, her face is very uneven, the skeletons hands are solid,(instead of being bones) its right arm looks weird etc, personally i dont rate your artist but the concept is a good one!

That is easily fixed dude, and the line work is terrible, how can this person call themselves a tattoo artist. Also i saw that some one had advised you to use bepanthen or pile cream! NEVER EVER use bepanthen or pile cream, bepanthen has alcohol in it which will irritate your broken skin, and could affect the colour of your tattoo, bepanthen also has petroleum jelly in it which will block your pores and not allow your tattoo to breath. Pile cream is NOT designed to be put onto broken skin, it is designed to reduce swelling in the area by reducing the blood flow, something you do not want with a tattoo, as reduced blood flow to the area will only slow down the healing process. Savlon is ok although it is a bit thick and again can block your pores. I would advise just using a perfume free intensive moisturiser such as Vaseline skin rescue moisturiser, apply 3-4 times a day for a month (even if your tattoo looks healed the skin is still repairing itself below the surface). I am not a tattoo artist, however i have been getting tattooed for over 20 years, and suffer from skin problems which means i have researched what certain creams do to the skin, and found as long as you keep your tattoo from drying out it should heal without scabbing and retain the depth of colour it had when first done.
