WOW I love the corset piercing but I just wouldnt dare go for it. Looks beautiful though.

hi there,

ive got 3 on my innner forarm (all making up the same tattoo) and its not so bad. Bit tender but I wouldnt call it painful at all.

😀

hey 🙂

Wow thats some first tattoo! What was your inspiration if you dont mind me asking ?

Hey,

Vaseline does block the pores, and Ive never use it. ‘Vaseline intensive care’ is a lovely thick moisturiser that is chemical and fragrance free and is excellent on dry skin and healing tattoos. I used it on 3 of mine once they’d scabbed over and its brilliant as long as its only a couple of times a day. I also use tattoo goo which…[Read more]

Hi Pauly, Hi to you as well. Im new here but like to give people a welcome. 😀

Hey there

I agree, first photo looks great. The others look like its still healing and is way to dry. What have you been using to help it heal?

Id suggest vaseline intensive care 3 times a day on it to help the scab come off and heal the edges to stop it shrivelling up.

THanks thats really kind of you 🙂

Personally I dont think someone of 12 should be having anything more than a basic ear piercing.Its totally my opinion and I dont wish to upset anyone. Im totally against it! I know were all individuals and each to their own but at 12 I just dont think we know what we want. Stick with what you have so far until you understand why you want it doing…[Read more]

Whooa that doesnt sound goodl. Ive had my nose pierced 16 years (and another 2 that I took out) and although my very first piercing caused some trouble and went septic Ive never had a problem since. You should have the original stud (without a back on) in your nose for 6-8 weeks to allow full healing. Then chance it. I prefer straight backed ball…[Read more]

For your first tatto I seriously wouldnt advise the tongue or inside of the lips. I know someone who had her lip tattood and seriously regrets it and she looks ridiculous. My personal choice is its hideous but also that its not something you can cover up when youre 65 should you feel you’ve made a mistake and Im sure lasering on a tongue doesnt…[Read more]

Hey there

Ive never had one infected but the single star I had on the inside of my wrist went more than scabby for my liking and weeped a little then it got a candle was like film over it and went all white !! Ive never had this before ever.
Ive used many different creams and goo over the years but this time was advised to use Bepanthen which was…[Read more]

Hi there

My current tattoo artists charges £20 minimum for any tattoo, theyre both amazing and very pro. An hours work is £60. All artists are different depending where youre based and what you want etc. Colour should make no difference what so ever. THey may charge a little more for your own design rather than one they already have. Any decent a…[Read more]

Hey Rob,

I LOVE the lettering, its really nice! Looks good. Thankyou for commenting on my cross, its not a great photo though!

Glad youre swelling has gone down!

Id have to say Id be angry because I designed my own wrist tattoo and its unique. However, I love to share photos of it and Id never have a clue if someone else had it done. Ive also checked out other peoples for inspiration but would never copy them!

Hey there,

That is an AMAZING piece of work. The design is so different and the colours are great. 😀 Im sure you feel its been worth the time and pain !

Hey, thats an outstanding tattoo. Id personally go with a deep aqua colour as its a dragon but I guess dark orange and black for the koi standard would be good too 😀

Hey Rob,

I really have no clue as to the answer on this one. Id personally have to say I would have thought the writing should be the same as I didnt really think tattoo’s shrunk with the healing process that much but Im no expert. Hope someone helps you out.

Welcome to the fourm, Im new too 🙂

Youre very lucky to have Louis doing you a tattoo. Id love Phil Kyle to tattoo me though. 🙂

Ive just started using tattoo goo, its a mix of natural oils and lavender and is amazing. thin layer, not to much rubbing and keep it from cracking 😀

Hi there,

Ive got 9 tattoos and the one in my wrist had exactly the same thing happen to it. It got soggy in the shower and cracked and the colour was faded. I use moisuriser and tattoo goo and its healed lovely but the colour is pale. Be careful not to let it dry out or you may have to have it re coloured. 🙂
