Love it! Look really cute 😀

Sounds good 🙂

I like the idea of turning into a quarter sleeve! And its nice to hear that someone is getting a tattoo because it means something to them, rather then just a random design! The people with tattoos who I am friends with in the area im from, they all have pin up girls and random butterflys that mean nothing to them!

#1. whats the best sun cream for tattoos? personally, I love Tattoo goo!
#2. does healing cream effects old tattoos in a bad way? I very much doubt it.
#3. what can damage a newly done tattoo and whats the best healing simple method? Try and wear loose clothing around the new tattoo so it doesnt rub, dont pick/scratch. Treat it as if its a broken bone, so be really warey of it.
#4. how to recognize an infection? When you first get it done, ink and plasma will ooze out for the first few days and it will be very sore (depending on body placement) but infection is usually yellow puss leaving the tattoo, red raw blotches of skin and a bad odor.
#5. how to apply healing cream? I had my biggest piece dond 3 weeks ago and im still washing it every morning and evening and applying cream, and will do for atleast another week.

When first done, wash with antibacterial unscented soap (I used johnsons baby bath), lather it in your hands, rinse slightly if its too heavy/thick/too much soap and rub on the tattoo softly, pat dry with kitchen roll (best to use as a: toilet hand towels harbour many germs and b)loo roll fibres stick to the tattoo surface) and then softly apply the scream so it has a very very thing shine, dont over apply

I understand people will be expressing their opinions, but it doesnt hurt anyone to be a little tactful.
Evidently Xfiles4ever did take the comments as rude, as I would have if people were saying the following about something that will be etched on my flesh forever. It isnt just a sketch on a piece paper after all.

‘The diferance between these two turtle cover ups are night and day the second one is well done and thought out. the first one is just a blob of shit’

‘Dude from those pics it looks horrible. Your next cover up is what a long sleeve shirt?’ – A little hostil, no?

‘The mistakes people make you would think one was enough’

Its very rude and inconciderate for the people above to say your tattoo is ‘shit’ etc. Some people just feel the need to use language like that, instead of simply giving an opinion.

The first pictures werent great, obviously, but from the last picture I think its cute, a little big maybe but thats cos it was to cover up the previous tattoo. I really like the purple detailing!

I personally wouldnt have it done, as it must have hurt like hell! But fair play to ya!
