Thanks for all your input guys!

To be honest I’m not going with dry wraping, but i’ll keep it in mind for future tattoos. Just by researching on the internet I see that even tattoo studios recomend things that other studios say you should not do etc.
For this first one i’ll stick to what my tattoo guy has told me. I took of the plastic wraping 8 hours after the session, cleaned only with water and i’m aplying a cream on it every few hours, not to over do it but not to let it dry either. I’m gonna drop by the shop today and check with him and all.

As for swiming, exposing the tatto to sun and all that, I would never do it in the first weeks of a new tattoo. No reason to… I can enjoy swiming and sun all year round, and I still don’t, so why once I got a new tattoo?

Is that wraping with bandage?

Hmm… I don’t see any answer about the tissue traume being able to get me an infection… Before yours that is. And that’s why I asked. Still, there was more i’d like to know, but google seems to be more effective that asking in a forum.

And again, i didn’t ask about self-piercing because I wanna do it. I just wanted to know about how people don’t traumatize any nerves or other vital stuff. A video, by a professional piercer, on youtube pretty much answered my questions.

And for a last question, before I go get the piercing, if you don’t find it offensive!
I’ve asked for a price at 3 studios, the price being very different in every shop… I suppose the one is just being expensive due to a good reputation and being the oldest around here (and maybe due to good relations have a lot of work with tourists), the other one is a little pricy, don’t know why, and that last one seems (to me) to have a logical price. They all have clean shops, sterilize their equipment, open the needle in my presence, throw it once we are done, had no issues in showing, explaining and talking about anything i asked.
Any reason not to go for the chepest of the three?

So… I suppose that kind of info should not be on a forum…

anyway, I’ve decided to get my ear pierced. Anything I should keep in mind while choosing a shop? Is there anything that can be different?
And for the aftercare, anything i should take special notice of? Or just follow whatever the piercer tells me?

What is myspace? and why would anyone still be on it?

Is this your way to judge a professional?…
C’mon man… You can even see it’s tottaly inactive… (As is most myspace profiles)…

I just don’t feel like it… It’s not the way i imagined it… Weired or not, i like the simpler tattoos…

I’ve looked at that, and the guys on there are totally wicked artists! But they do tattoos that are very realistic, colorfull, detailed etc. Great and all, but i don’t want such a detail and color on this one.
For the Viking face I want, or for the portrait of my dog, I’d make sure to make an appoinment with one of those. But for a little bee, that I don’t want to be detailed? Is suppose this guys wouldn’t even agree to tatto me with such a “poor” tattoo. I’d be bad name for them…
