Your doctor sounds insane. Do not go to her about any tattoos. And please do not get any other tattoos. Ever.

Blotchy red spots in black tattoo, don't know what's going on

By r0000r · Started Yesterday at 08:29 AM

Apologies in advance if this is more common of a thing than I know, I just couldn't find anything in my research. I got a calf tattoo a few weeks ago. Black & grey with large amounts of solid black shading. 2 days after I took my saniderm off, I went to take a shower and saw big streaks of blood flowing down my leg. Even though I moisturized before bed, I must've stuck my leg out in front of the fan while sleeping and it dried out & cracked once I got up. The spots this happened in3

Scab loves me and dont wanna let me go

Hi everybody, i got a tattoo 2 weeks ago, at day 2 it did look like raw skin on some spots as you can see here: Overworked? Bad after care? I dont know, but never happened to me on previous tattoos. As expected a big ugly scab showed up a few days later, and by now (day 14) its still there: When i showed it to my artist he told me to dry heal the thing so i am doing. What could i expect if the scab finally goes off? It will be fine with just a touch up? 3

Hi everyone. This is my second tattoo. My first tattoo was a hand poke tattoo and it went so well, I was completely fine when it was done which was about 10 days ago. It's in the flaking stage and I am not touching it. It's healing a treat Saturday, 20 Nov, I got a large colour flower piece done on my right lower arm. It goes from just above the wrist to a few inches below the elbow. The experience has been so much worse. The pain was quite something when it was being done but I manage3

how do you feel about tattoos from tv shows you like the images of but never watched?

By Asthma Inhaler Jim · Started November 23

i was considering getting a tattoo of a powerpuff girl. But unlike another tattoo of mine which is from a video game i played when i was younger, i have no personal connection to powerpuff girls. I never watched the show. i ike its art style though and thought itd be cool to get as a tattoo. What do you guys think about getting tattoos that you have no real special connection to, but like the image of? do any of you have such a tattoo? I suppose itd be like getting a bart simpson tat3
