It varies depending on a number if factors, but the flaking is the dead top layers of skin falling off to be replaced by new skin. It happens slowly all the time, not during any particular process.

Yes, I understand that but is it fine for it to come off when washing it, dabbing it dry with towel, applying cream or sleeping…[Read more]

There is a big difference between healing a wound and healing a tattoo.

I think it totally depends on what the tattoo is actually of, saying that anywhere visible will cause problems 99% of the time for employment.

When I was growing up in the 70s the only things you would see on peoples hands or neck would be prison style stuff, the cobwebs, the old sailors with swallow tattoos, the classic LOVE and HATE across mens…[Read more]

Very good.

I just hope you’re using liquid soap, because soap bars carry all sorts of nasty crap you don’t want in your open wounds 🙂

Plain standard anti bacterial soap..never had any problems with any of my other tattoos.

I need to know how to use computers more I’m hopeless with the thing for working it.

Amazingly enough Wardy wasn’t being an ass. He was attempting a conversation with you and raising a valid point.

Why on earth didn’t you think about this BEFORE you got tattooed? It’s pretty late in the game to have it already happen and being completely unprepared for the problems at hand. (unintentional pun, there)

I wouldn’t wear gloves within the first couple days. After that, maybe some loose work gloves would be ok, as long as they don’t rub the skin. Otherwise you could probably put a little piece of loose saran wrp or something similar in between your hand and the glove. It’s not the best thing for breathability, but better…[Read more]
