thanks for the help guys. You’re probably right. The only reason I applied the lotion this long is well..see for yourself – just snapped this pic two minutes after washing the area with anti bacterial soap and pat-drying with a towel. its dry all over .. Am I to let it stay this way? and not apply anything anymore? seems weird, I thought the…[Read more]

i’m applying it because everytime i look at it, there’re these tiny dry flakes so I thought its still drying out. But my main question is whether its supposed to take this long to surface or whether its just alot duller than the first day you get it after the healing period.

thanks a bunch!

great..i’m guessing this amount of peeling isnt normal? took this pic just now, after removing the bandage, washing and pat drying with a towel.

I want this one above on my arm so as to be concealed by a teeshirt sleeve.. upper quarter…[Read more]

yeah I think i’ll head back there with the same dragon and have him customize it a bit so it doesnt look crap after a few years. I just liked the side pose and wings 🙂

cheers!

thanks again for the help 🙂

*sigh..back to the drawing board. I want something with meaning. This was my zodiac, i was gonna replace the symbol inside to the one for ‘struggle’ and underneath chinese symbols for ‘existentialist’. was gonna get ‘luctor et emergo’ under the dragon (struggle and emerge).

any idea where I could find subtle bicep…[Read more]

great! oh well 😀

this is the only other one i had in mind, again for the bicep but i’m guessing the same would apply to this.
