Hi Salt

Yes some shedding is to be expected as the skin starts to heal beneath it will flake away the dead skin and scabs above.
Losing a bit each time you put cream on is normal just don’t rub it vigourously or pick at it and it will be fine.

touch ups are the same healing process as when you first got the tattoo

Sherav has a good point. I apologize to the O/P for continuing the arguement with you, In the beginning I did just say my opinion about your tattoo. If you like it that is really what matters, it is your piece of art,the hell with peoples opinions. 🙂

yeah I understand, once I got my first one I was hooked so I think that is why I am wanting another one so badly already. I’m saving my right arm for a quarter sleeve of a moray eel and a reef scene ( I have been keeping moray eels for over 3 years and saltwater tanks is my hobby) so that is gonna be expensive, maybe I should just start saving up…[Read more]

hello everyone…

just got back from getting my touch up done, looks much better now 😀

quick question, the aftercare is the same as getting the tattoo the first time?

wash with soap and water 3-4 times a day then after you wash put the cream on it?

I also got a price for “family” so I will have to think about what I really want to get then go…[Read more]

thanks marcus I apreciate your input as well. I have been leaning towards “family” more because I feel I can do more with it in the area I want it, I don’t like the idea that it isn’t original but I have some ideas to make it more personilzed then the usual family in the common script writing. thursday I go in for my touch up so I’m gonna get a…[Read more]

thanks sherav I apreciate your input, that was the first quote I came up with a while back and it has stuck with me so I am leaning towards that one the most, what do you think about “family” though? too basic?

I called the shop just to see how they work in the touch ups, he said just call him the day before and that is pretty much it and he said its free:D, should I tip him?

and is “my family is my strength” better or worse than “with family comes strength”

yeah I see what your saying…

2 more questions having to do with my first tattoo…

1. I am still getting some small dry looking spots on parts of the tattoo, when I put the cream on it it goes away, is this normal?

2. Some of the line work needs to be darkend up, is 2 months after too late to ask for a touch up? will he charge me?

you should really wait until your atleast 18, your body is gonna go through ALOT more changes which might make your tattoo look shitty after your done growing.

hey thank you for the suggestions and the response. I agree that the quote I put doesn’t capture the full meaning of a family and that is why I am stumped on it. I like the second of your suggestions, the first one does sound depressing lol…

hey everyone, just a fast updated question, this wednesday will be 6 weeks since I got my tattoo, should I stop putting cocoa butter on it and when I go outside start putting sun screen on? part of my tattoo is still getting dry, is this normal since it hasn’t healed all the way? the rest of it looks great it’s just one part… TIA

what does you living in netenya or whatever have to do with it? And what type of tribal is that? I wouldn’t say your tattoo is “pretty”, but I do like the skull, I don’t think roses will go well with those snakes though, I also agree that the snakes need to get some more detail.

not to be negative but I agree, you should have waited. Does this tattoo have a meaning or it is just a design you liked? just curious, not intended to start anything.

since I have already been using the cocoa butter should I just keep using it? after the 3-4 days, is cocoa butter still ok to put on it? or should I use another cream? and when it is flaky like this and rub cream in on it, is that bad or picking it is bad? when I rub in the cream some comes off, but I…[Read more]
