We should time our tattoo sessions so that we can peel together.

Alright let’s do it! 😛

My leg has lizards and plant life. It will morph into an aquarium / undersea theme as it wraps up my right side. I never thought about oysters until peter’s comment.
Oysters or scallops could be interesting. Hell, I’m already planning a lobster.

My fiance would LOVE that! He works two jobs; one with exotic reptiles and the…[Read more]

I think an oyster tattoo may be viable. Have it open exposing a pearl. Perhaps a black pearl at that.

Oh no thank you! lol. I want to fix it first, or try… I’m not good thinking of tattoos when they don’t have any specific meaning to me.. I would love a half sleeve, but I don’t think I could ever come up with enough…[Read more]

I like French Onion Soap! (LOL)

[lang=lt]That photo looks kinda same as mine, you have those pimples, but there’s already scab ont the tattoo, mine is still healing. Just washed it with anti bacterial soap and use bepanthen cream and i don’t feel any pain. :3[/lang]

Months??? I didn’t realize it could take that long.

Welcome to the forum!
I have blue ink tattoos that healed fast, others have taken months.

How recent was yours done?

I think it’s second opinion time. Check out another tattoo artist.

Quoted for truth. Find a more competent artist.

My penis tattoo.

When soft is says “Shorty”

When erect: “Shorty’s Bar and Grille Tallahassee, Florida”

Amateur.

Its supposed to be “Shorty’s Bar and Grille, Albuquerque, New Mexico”! 😉

Research is one key to a great tattoo. another is a good tattoo artist. Give them your idea and utilize their creative ability. You’ll get a fucking awesome tattoo!

I have no piercings yet. I do have a few tattoos. I have hundreds of examples of objects, animals, and other tattoos in my working file.…

Sir butt. Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. I should have stated that when the plastic wrap was re applied I put nothing on my tattoos.
I applied the tea tree oil and other products AFTER the plastic wrap was no longer needed.

I swear on a stack of dead tissue that the dry wrap method has worked the best for me.…

I’m an old fart. What’s a D20?

I believe the D20 (and basically any of the multi-sided (that’s more than 6, mind you 😉 ) dice) was designed/marketed in the 70’s with the birth of Dungeons and Dragons and other roleplaying games. How old are you anyway? 😉

After showering I would dab the tattoo with witch hazel, when dry I gently applied tea tree oil.
After the third day I used Aveeno mixed with tea tree oil over the whole tattoo.

I did dry wrap it.

No sir you didn’t it is called DRY wrap not witch hazel, tea tree oil and aveeno wrap.

I didn’t know the either 🙂 look like a cube with 20 sides:confused:

This is the Anthurium at about eight months old. (note lightning bug)

This Anthurium flower was done over the winter. Some of the red / purple got “thick”. It took six months to look anywhere normal. The lizard has some of the same properties.

It must be my reaction to the colors. End result is good, but the Anthurium (raw steak) flower took…[Read more]

Looks pretty good. My exceptions are with when the tattoo is done. I don’t get bandaged. I use the dry wrap method. Also I’ve been told MANY times, at least three weeks before swimming.

Thanks, I’ll have to research that,…[Read more]

Before the tattoo is started, ascertain that the lubricant used during the tattoo process is non-petroleum based (like A&D ointment). I use Redemption, but there are others. This will allow your skin to retain all the ink applied to your tattoo. With me, the healing process is about a week shorter.
