Rad Kelham Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I got tattooed today on my knee and am going back into the same tattoo tomorrow with perhaps a bit of overlap. I'm thinking I should wash, ointment, and rewrap a couple times, and come into the appointment wrapped, so that the tattoo doesn't start dry out and seal up. Any advice on this?

RoryQ Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 When I'm doing two days back to back I unwrap and shower at the end of the day... The rewrap overnight... Shower in the morning to get rid of the blood / plasma and then wrap again before heading to the studio. Personally I don't bother with ointments / barrier creams if I'm going to be wrapping. For me it's partly about the tattoo and mainly about not leaving massive bio leakage on the hotel bed sheets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beez Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Keep it clean and wrapped and you're good. Those back to back appointments can be rough! Ibuprofen helps keep the swelling in check. Good luck and let's see pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Kelham Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks guys. I changed my game plan and decided to remove the wrap and not re-wrap, because I can't stand having plastic on my body. Plus there is very little to no blending between today and yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Kelham Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 And boy, getting the kneecap tattooed is so easy compared to my armpit/head/palm tattoos of recent. xcom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Kelham Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks @xcom! I figured I had to get a piece from my mentor (besides the initiation banger) so I found this in his sketchbook from 2003ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
