Hiya, tattooish people. I've just found out about this forum and it looks like a friendly place.

I have a couple tattoos - one in progress - and although I'm not an expert or a scholar on the subject, I do have a deep interest. I have a personal preference for traditional work, and the style works its way into my own artwork (which I do for fun, not for a career). However, I appreciate all kinds of tattoos and am looking forward to getting to know people here and seeing/discussing one of my favourite subjects.

I don't know if I'll end up being a proper collector or if I'll be content to stay with what I've got and enjoy tattoos vicariously.

I live in the Norf bit of the UK, where I work full time as an editor in an office full of nice people who do not appreciate tattoos.

Welcome! I work as a copywriter in an office full of nice people who don't appreciate tattoos (save for a few), so I just keep 'em covered for the most part. They're conversation starters, and that's not always a conversation I wanna have.

Hello, Hogg, Alanna, Lochlan, and RockelMan. Thanks for the nice welcome. I didn't mean to introduce myself and disappear so rudely! It's been a bit busy.

Lochlan, I agree: tattoos, the workplace and colleagues could make an interesting new discussion topic.

Hogg, luckily, my colleagues are really lovely and not judgmental. Some are really intrigued and want to talk about tattoos from the perspective of "I'd like one but I don't know what to get." The others just don't particularly understand, which is fine. Getting drawn upon isn't for everyone.

Anyway, I hope to be spending even MORE of my life online now that I've found this forum. So thanks again for the welcome. I shall see you again in the nether regions of the forum.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
