LOL. No, i took these saturday while i was in the chair.

just got off the phone with my tattoo artist, I am definitely going in tomorrow for my first session for the sugar skulls. I will post some pics after i get it done.

decorative skulls made of sugar used to celebrate Day of the Dead in Mexico and Latin America

i went to the tattoo parlor today, but my artist had not finished the design. I saw the drawing of the skulls and they are sick. I will (hopefully) be going in on saturday to get the outline work done.

i figured i should update this. after a little over a month, the swelling went down, and the red is healing just fine. it still itches like a mofo, and i have had a few bumps on the red…but overall it is healing fine now.

its been three weeks since the tattoo, and the soreness is just now going away. I discontinued the lotion for a couple days, and it didn’t help. the swelling seems to be going down in the past couple days. the black portions of it are pretty much healed…the red is still flaky and looks like it wants to peel again. I started applying lotion again since i ruled that out as being the cause of my reaction. I wash my hands every time i apply lotion and i try and wash it twice a day.

thanks for all the replys guys. 🙂

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.

haha…i just worked in Tarboro…i lived in Greenville…ECU baby! I had to leave there because i was getting in way too much trouble. too much partying.
