I buy spray on sunscreen by the carton. My dermatologist says that applying it outside may let the breeze make it distorted. I got a mini paint roller and apply the spray to that, then I roll it on! The same with lotions and moisturizers. (doesn’t waste the spray in the air either)

I use the dry wrap method for new tattoos. Wrap with plastic wrap. Remove wrap and wash tattoo with antibacterial liquid soap, and re wrap several times daily. One exception was when close to my arm pit. The plastic wrap put me into a continuous sweat mode. It was nasty so I did not re wrap it.

Everyone kept going on and on about how this spot is horrible, but I found it pretty sweet.

It sure looks sweet to me too!

Can’t go wrong with a lot of color!

Sweet piece.

Welcome.

I’m not fond of it either.
I had a tattoo gone over recently. It wasn’t until afterward MY WIFE said she really didn’t like it before. Very few people will tell you to your face that you have a poor tattoo.

I don’t want this to be my tattoo. I want my tattoo to be something with a design laid out similarly, but done by an artist who is an expert on making art look good on the human body.

Awesome! Love the colors!

Looks like a great statr. Keep us posted.

If the artist put a stencil on her, or drew it on her, and she said something like “that’s fine” or “that’s okay”, she’s shit out of luck.
