No, this is not a British thread, I want to see your in progress, bleeding shots of your tattoos! 

Maybe it's just me but I love getting pictures of this because I bleed a crazy amount when I get tattooed. Like "oh god, please wipe me again, I'm dripping on the floor" kind of bleeding. I found this kind of old picture of a tattoo I finished about a year ago and that's what inspired the thread.

I also took this one last night. That yellow smear is some ink that rubbed off on my forearm, so you can see the blood ran all the way down to my elbow.

looks great on that skull

The artist said my blood actually inspired him to add to the design. :8_laughing: As he was shading and I was bleeding, he got the idea to add some pink around the mouth of the skull and the skeletal horse he's riding on, like there was still some tissue left on the bodies.

My tattoo artist told me to keep the wrap on for 7 days, not to take it off at all. Is that normal?

4-5 days at least for tagiderm or similar. definitely not for saran wrap or similar.

what he said /\

 I might also add that if the dermal film was applied right after the tattoo,there will be plazm/liquid buildup that needs to be cleaned,by removing and re-applying a piece of the dermal film.

I always wait  12 to 24 hours with saran and washing and whatever ointment and  then put on saniderm for 4 or 5 days and there is no more liquid buildup and that works great for me.

there is also shit loads of reading here https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4431-tegadermsanidermtatuderm-healing-process/

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.

      Good luck. Job hunting sucks. I got laid off from a company after 20 years and it took six months to find a job. I was in the dreaded “middle” management role at an IT company. A little over two years later my new company was  bought out and they did a “restructuring” which means the people doing the work get fired so the people sitting on their fat asses get fatter.  I couldn’t find what I really wanted so I just retired. Might be a good time to think about switching fields.
