My zombie squid on my right forearm has got to be my favorite, but the sorest was, hands down, my wrist gauntlet.

my favorite so far is the reaper i have on the back of my leg…it also turns out to be the sorest…most of the tattoo is red, and i happen to be allergic to red ink. 😮 it was swollen, and took a very long time to heal.

me too…i’m ready to get more work done! but I don’t want to get anymore done while its still swollen.

i actually had a thought, i think the reaction may be caused by the lotion i’m using (curel fragrance free). I stopped using it today, and it hasn’t seemed to be so swollen. i’m going to give it a day or two without the lotion, and going to call my tattoo artist in a bit and see what he reccomends.

Ive never heard of an allergic reaction to ink but I would have thought it would have happened straight away..is there anyway you might have injured yourself doing a sport something or maybe even been bitten or stung by a bug??

PS: Dont post a picture of your percings haha!

LOL the initial piercing did hurt…but the stretching did not. And not to worry, i don’t plan on posting pics of my PA.

i have one on the inside of my arm, a heart a gram. the other is on my calf, its a grim reaper. i will get pics of the reaper when it heals up all the way.

A PA is a prince albert.
