Hi all 🙂

Quick update;

Tattoo has healed beautifully, nearly all the scabs have fallen off now, i went to bed last night with a very itchy, flaky tattoo and woke up this morning with a RIDICULOUSLY itchy tattoo, it was almost unbearable

So i gave it a gentle wash with some soap, lathering up the soap and very gently giving it a wash, loads of…[Read more]

hmmm well the worst bit seems to have totally peeled (and the scab was very much moist) and has left a perfect tattoo beneath it. Now i am sort of regretting not leaving the clingfilm on longer. But it was affecting my skin massively so i suppose i just have to hope that it has done the job in the time its been on

I dont think my skin would…[Read more]

I think your right, i think i will need to get another artist locally to touch it up for me, it shouldnt be too hard to match the colours?

ah okay, that makes sense and does make me feel better. This is my first colour tattoo so sorry for the novice remarks/questions!

I am looking at it now and there is a bit that has not faired well, it is just between my boobs and its clear that the scab has gone soggy and half peeled off, leaving no ink beneath it. I havent picked it or…[Read more]

Really pleased the clingfilm has come off, all the scabs have formed properly and its stopped feeling uncomfortable like its not…[Read more]

she was a lady 😉

but yeah she said leave the clingfilm on for 5 days ‘to be sure’

Thanks for the links, i had a really good look through them last night (but on my other computer so i couldnt respond then)

Unfortunately we live in a tiny sleepy city, there are no hard buggers around tattooing people that would be able to help me talk to him.

I wouldnt condone beating him up, but certainly threatening him with it if he carried…[Read more]

It was REALLY sore in certain places, i was suprised actually, perhaps its because there is a fair bit of ‘meat on me bones’ anyway, but i found the areas over the bone were not as bad as the area between my armpit and my neck, that was Really Really sore.

The most painful (still) is the bit that licks over my breastbone – not visible in the…[Read more]

Yeah that makes sense, when Gilbert was doing my dragonfly, he was REALLY heavy handed because he is just a beginner, it was his first realistically sized, PROPER tattoo and he went far too deep (so deep it blew out in a number of places quite massively) And i remember feeling okay about it after about 20mins and then after 30mins he said he…[Read more]
