Continue to do what your doing. You may want to take a damp paper towel and blot the spot every so often to soften the scab so that it will fall off on it’s own. It may take longer for that spot to heal but what you’re doing is fine.

It will look good if it’s done right.
Everyone’s pain tolerence is different. You’ll have some discomfort.
Yes, it will stretch and can possibly ruin the tattoo when you get pregnant.

I always let my artist run with that part. They’re good at judging what colors will look best. If you want it to be more realistic looking you will want colors of an actual snake and lily. Maybe find a certain snake you like and use that desgin/colors from it, as well as a lily.

A&D tends to pull out the color. It doesn’t do it drastically and A&D is the most common ointment to use right now.
Aquaphor doesn’t pull out the ink as much. People have allergic reactions to different products.
Truthfully, if you clean the tattoo every 4-7 hours with cool water and pat or wipe dry and apply any ointment or nonscented lotion your…[Read more]

You should be following your artists aftercare instructions.
This means washing the tattoo with cool water only and lightly dabbing or wipping off blood beeds and peeling skin.
Your tattoo will “bleed” some color and peel. This is completley normal. The outer layer has been penertrated by the needle thus the skin has died and is peeling. The…[Read more]

Sorry I don’t know anything about them. I’m the the Madison area. How far are you willing to drive for a great artist?

Polysporin and A&D ointments pull color out of the tattoo. It’s best to use Aquaphor. It doesn’t pull out the ink.
LA Ink reccommends it:

Just keep it moisturized. After the tattoo has healed use coccoa butter lotion to keep it moist.

Wash the tattoo every 4-7 hours and put a very thin layer of the ointment on. The ointment shouldn’t stain the shirt. If there is alot of ointment it will be sticky. A very very thin layer is all that’s needed. If if feels dry later put another thin layer on.

It’s very possible. Thing is, that it’s a bit harder to cover up black tattoos. you may have to choose darker colors. All depending on size, and how fadded it is. Check around with local artists that specialize on tattoo over-ups. As always check out the artists work before you go with them 🙂
