I agree with most of the people on here, keep washing it, air drying/pat drying it, and then put some lotion on it. It should come out fine, it’s a beautiful tattoo.

However, if you are really worried about it, go and see your doctor. What harm can it do? And also, don’t read google for stuff like this. You’re best talking to artists and GP’s,…[Read more]

Enamik inimesi soovitavad oodata kuni tätoveering on paranenud enne teeme kontakt sport uuesti. Vältige ujumist esimesena. Jooks ei ole liiga halb, kui tattoo on oma sisemine reie või oma suu. Põhimõtteliselt lihtsalt oodata tätoveering paranema.

I know you’ve heard it all before and you like it and whatever but to me that still just looks like a black blob with some pattern in it. I suggest just waiting till you get a decent picture, because that just makes the tat look even worse.

Maybe turn that into a skull of some sort with flames coming up from below it and around the sides. And how about a “dark” style pinup below it that could incorporate the gambling theme, cards/dice etc with the flames around that too?
