Fire has always fascinated me. My father always said if you play with fire, you’ll piss your bed.
I became a pretty fair metal worker and for a while a steam locomotive fireman / engineman. (driver to those in the UK)

A tattoo? Endless possibilities.

Apparently “Swarley” didn’t work the first time.

I hadn’t thought of tribal as that is one style I hold in high regard for special circumstances. This is certainly one that would apply. Perhaps a reverse sleeve on the other arm.

Didn’t think of the reverse sleeve, I’m soo glad I can learn from the experts in here 😉

Awesome work! Great colors!

I recently switched to “Redemption”. It’s a non-petroleum lubricant no doubt similar to what you use. It is used during tattoo process, then I dry wrap too.

Yeah I think it probably is, Jeff uses it during the tattoo process too.

@Sam-I-Am 128160 wrote:

The redemption is used only in the actual tattooing as a lubricant to replace A&D ointment. It leaves your skin dry. Then the plastic wrap is used.

(With the A&D ointment a lot of ink would come out with the first washings. With this, no ink is pushed out)

Gotcha ya …

I pretty sure that wouldn’t be a dry wrap but a wet wrap. When I dry wrap I use nothing the saranwrap traps in your own moister and no external moister is needed.

Hah! That is true! Well if the Atlantic is a pond, I guess Australia can be an island… and Eurasia perhaps a small country?

I’ve considered a tattoo like your fishing lure only hooked on my nipple. The line would go over my shoulder to a fisherman on my back. I’m probably going with a velociraptor though.
