Um, the aftercare of a tattoo?
Dont soak it for a few weeks (so if you have a bath, keep the tattooed area away from the water)
Stay away from caustic substances
Use Savlon to keep it infection free and moisturised. After the first day, apply whenever you feel you need it)
And wash with sensitive soap.
I dunno if thats…

DO NOT APPLY SALT TO THE WOUND

like you say, its a saying for a reason

but technically, salt does help to control infection, but there are better alternatives like honey or sugar…that is if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and have no pharmacy…

but there is no reason to use salt if you have honey or sugar…[Read more]

dude dont do it yourself period, its retarded, you will regret it later in life…

there are people you can pay to do it that do it professionally… you wouldnt tattoo yourself would you??

it is possibly the dumbest idea to brand yourself…

branding is just as complicated as tattooing (in its own way)… temp settings must be just right, amount of time on skin, pressure, ect… all need to be just right…

what you are suggesting would be like someone saying they where going to tattoo themselves with a sewing needle and india…[Read more]

most since you are darker skined a bit (compared to hers in the picture) the artist would have to use ink obviously (and not leave it negative)…

It is possible, but the light colored ink will fade rather fast (compared to darker inks and more stable colors like green or black)… I have seen people with white tattoos that they have re-touched…[Read more]

my wife also had really bad eczema for a long time, until about a year ago we discovered that she is allergic to the sulphates in body wash’s/shampoo (like laurelith sulphate, and all the others similar)..

since she has been using more organic cleaners, she has not had a problem with eczema…

not to do with tattoo aftercare, just a tip…

blunt needles can very much cause blury tattoos

i think he had a small……tattoo….. he was compensating for…

no tattoo is ever screwed up beyond repair, or at least re-cover… 😉

even for names (as i have one too) i wouldn’t get re-done or covered, (personal pref) as just because i am not in contact with them anymore, or even had a fight or whatever, doesnt mean that they where any less special to me when i got that tattoo, and that tattoo still represents those actions i made…

you can cover up the tattoo, but not the…[Read more]

blow outs will usually stay they way they where after they have fully healed for the most part. Alot of times blow outs can be cause by the artist doin the outline at too much of an angle… wait till it heals all the way, there is nothing to be done now anyway… then see what it looks like after it is healed

why does this guy feel the need to create multiple acounts just to spam insults… I think that he has a really small…*ehem* tattoo

you are a dick…. all i can say is I wish you lived in NYC… its real easy to talk crap when you are the big man behind the monitor holding your joke in your little hands… its another to have the brass to talk to someone in real life…and by the way… i cant see ips but you are not fooling me

i dont really think that anything isn’t going to change… but i have a similar attitude, I have a few tattoos that i got when i really believed in something, which I no longer do, but I do not regret getting them… They remind me of that time in my life… They kind of burn the memories of that time of my life into my mind… Also, i think of…[Read more]

breastfeeding can cause tattoos to become blury, as it makes the skin thicken… the same thing as having tattoos on areas that are used frequently that get caluses… its not that it pulls the ink out of the skin (like a hickie) its that the skin gets thicker thus making it less transparent above the ink…

looking pretty sweet man!

neither works, for me at least… try either hosting it yourself, or uploading it to this host… hosting from myspace is hard sometimes
