hello,
dont rush into it, its better to get the right one that looks and fits just right 😉

welcome to the forum, im sure you will enjoy it here

i would use a none scented moisturising cream for the next week to keep the skin in tip top shape…. give the piece about another 2 or 3 weeks until it has healed up and then check the colouring, just give it a little longer before thinking on the harsh side… its still healing at the minute..

you could post a close up clear photo of it so we…[Read more]

a good strong detergent should remove the greasy stains, as you had the piece done a week ago then there should be no need to continue using a+d and just a none scented moisturiser should be sufficiant.

the piece does look off centered slightly when comparing to the reference, but to be fair, your not going to walk around and people caan tell the difference just by looking….. it is a nice piece in an unusual way lol…

as for the blood stains, as said already, you are going have to put up with it im affraid. just dont be tempted to recover the…[Read more]

yep, what they said 🙂

Hi there Mr H,
welcome to the forum 😉

the colour will change, when you first have the tattoo done the area will become bruised, this will look like a browny black colour (check the tattoo in one of the recent threads with an eagle, you will notice the difference in the wings from first and second sitting) this is natural, the work will look a…[Read more]

hi there and welcome on board the forum,
the best option is to get an apprenticeship, art college is great for the experience but wont guarantee anywhere in the tattoo world, and the last option of just buying the equipment and learning at home is not an option for this forum, if you are wanting unlicenced tattoo discussions then i would suggest…[Read more]

if i had any influence then i would stop you getting it on the palm, the reasons being are

1. it can fade there real quick
2. it dont heal quickly because of the movement it has
3. its a major public viewing area

the wrist aint as bad as you think, them veigns aint as close to the surface as you think they are.
and you can cover it with a long…[Read more]

the best way is to re -cream it in middle of the night, its only for the first full week that you should be having any problems, after that then moisturising it before going to bed and again when you get up in the morning will be suffice 😉

ps…. you should “never” overdo the amount of cream as it will make the scab soggy and come off on the…[Read more]

check the age of the original post…….. old thread !!

basically it is a minor wound, use a very thin layer of a good antiseptic cream such as savlon and rub it in …. dont use germoline or lanolin based creams. DONT COVER IT unles it is in a dusty or dirty work environment.

after about 5 days it should be ok to just use a none scented body moisturising cream.

once it has healed it can be touched…[Read more]
