Thanks for the warm welcome Mark!
I’m really loving dot work and geometric pieces, I’m thinking of a combo of mandala/floral and having the background filled with some dot work.
What kind of tattoos do you have?
I am truly a newbie in all regards – just completed my first tattoo. I’m in week 3 of healing after some…[Read more]

replied to the topic does my tattoo look infected? in the forum Tattoo Aftercare 7 years, 11 months ago
I am a relative newbie – both to the forum and to tattoos. I got my first about a month ago. From my own limited experience and what I’ve read here and other places, how much you use is just as or more important than how often. Make sure you only use a small amount of moisturizer – some folks advocate using none at all – and rub it in gently but…[Read more]

The design I chose has some tribal lines in it. To many, tribal is considered to be old hat….but not old hat enough to be “traditional.” 🙂 The only one, though, who has to be content with it is me…and I love the result.

Personally, I like the idea. But, the key is that it is what you want and what makes you happy. Your artist can refine it to be exactly what you want.
I just recently completed my first tattoo. Some people consider it outdated – but it is a design that spoke to me and represents what I wanted it to say about me as a person. If the design is what…[Read more]

Are you looking to use the same poison ivy theme? I think you have a great idea – just need to have your artist finalize it.

replied to the topic Is my tattoo healing okay? in the forum Tattoo Aftercare 7 years, 11 months ago
Assuming you are not allergic, you might try a little Benadryl and see if that calms it. But, if it starts to feel hot, spreads or you get discharge from it definitely have it looked at my a medical professional.

replied to the topic What do you all think about this tattoo? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 7 years, 12 months ago
It is well done – I just don’t get the rose theme as it’s designed. Maybe tie it to the Rose Bowl and include that trophy and logos of some of the winning teams? Or, as was already recommended just accept it for a quality piece and love it.

+1 on the Aveeno!! I used it as the post Aquaphor lotion beginning on day 3 and have continued to use it since. And, it is also great on the sunburn I got on my non-tattooed arm parts. 😎

Welcome to the forum! I’m a relative newbie here so I am sure the experienced folks will also chime in. I just had the last work done on my first tattoo this afternoon – timed the completion for the upcoming swim season since we love to use our pool. Your artist’s recommendation jives with what I was told and what I found in my research. My…[Read more]

I went with black and gray for my first and am really happy with it. Also on my left upper arm. Of course, you can’t have just one. My second will harken back to my service in the U.S. Army and I am leaning towards color on this one.

replied to the topic Long Term Care for Tattoo in the forum Tattoo Aftercare 8 years ago
It seems to me that using any type of vinegar would be counter-productive to good care. Vinegar is an astringent and so it would cause the skin to dry and contract. Exactly the opposite of what you want to do – moisturize your skin.
Parabens are still found in a lot of skin care products – although some companies produce paraben free products.…[Read more]

I am so very sorry for your loss. 🙁
I agree that copying the heart she drew on your forearm, with her name inside written in her handwriting, sounds like a perfect way. They are both things she did – what could be more representative of her?
