Take a look at my album, I have 2 paw print tattoos. I don’t know if that’s what you are looking for, but this topic caught my eye for that reason so I thought I’d chime in.

Good luck =)

Wow nice! I love the kitty skeleton added in. I work with animals too, so I totally get it =)

Congrats on your first piece =)

She only looks grumpy because she has an ungodly malocculsion (underbite) which is a conformational defect in cats.

She looks happy enough, but I hope they are not breeding her.

Personally, as a female, I don’t like wings on guys. But that’s just me. Obviously its your body and get what you want… if you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that its what you want.

Maybe we could see a sketch of what you are thinking of doing?

ah gotcha, thanks =)

Looks nice =)

What does that symbol on her arm mean? The upside down pentagram with the rounded top?

No I haven’t gotten a tattoo on a whim, and will never. I’m far too much of a plan-y type person to ever do something permanent to myself without a lot of forethought and research.

Though my sister got a tattoo on her foot during a vacation in Florida, and she’s never regretted it 🙂

I had a similar problem with little red bumps around my tattoo about 5 days post. They were itchy so I assumed it was hives or some allergic thing with the ointment or lotion… although I had 2 smaller tattoos previous to this that I used the same ointment and lotion for and I never had a problem.

However, I stopped with the A&D ointment and the…[Read more]

I LOL’d several times reading that.

This thread is the reason I come to this site every single day. Keep em coming =)

Its body paint =P

Wow I love the colors! Can’t wait to see it finished. You must be very happy with it =)

I personally like it disconnected. I don’t think the 1st “fixed” photo looks quite right for some reason. The 2nd is better than the 1st, but I still like it the way it is personally.

But its your tattoo, so its really up to you 🙂

Update:

The red spots are almost all gone. There are a few left but they aren’t as red.

I took 50mg benadryl yesterday (which knocked me on my ass and I slept for like 2 hours lol), and was applying benadryl and hydrocortisone cream. Washed it again right before bed and left it without cream except for the tattoo itself which I put lotion on…[Read more]

Yeah I’m super happy with it. I absolutely love it =) I changed my mind about extending the corners after I posted about it here… you have a good memory! Way better than mine lol

Thanks kitty =)

At least I’m not the only one who has had an issue, even after having other tattoos with no problems at all. It just sorta freaked me out because I want it to look nice, not all red and spotted lol

Good thought, thanks for the reply. I guess it could be pimples, its just weird they would be itchy. But maybe its just the tattoo itself that’s itchy since its healing.

Never had this issue with my other tattoos, though they were a lot smaller than this one.

Definitely isn’t like goosebumps, and does not resemble keratosis pilaris, imo.

I have only tried the benadryl cream last night and today, and just took some of the benadryl tabs, so we’ll see what happens.

also, should I keep putting on the aveeno lotion? or just stop for now? I know the aftercare states to keep it moisturized, so I don’t want it to get too dry if that’s bad for it.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys =)

I didn’t think it was a reaction to the actual ink itself, or I would’ve reacted a lot sooner than 5 days post, and also to the other tattoos I got previously. So I wasn’t sure..

I definitely haven’t been itching them at all, especially since I still have a few scabs left on the tattoo, and some of the red…[Read more]
