hanwyz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi Just thought I'd say hello as I've been lurking for a few days reading various posts. I've just got my first tattoo (attached photo was taken by the artist just after he finished, it's currently in the peeling stage), and am already planning my second (but will probably wait a few months at least). I'm based in the UK and come from a family that definitely frown on tattoos. Really happy with my first and I'm glad I waited and that I got something that was a decent size and can be added to in the future.

hanwyz Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the welcome 🙂 Daft question... Its almost finished peeling I think and was done a week ago. Is it still too soon to have a bath? I just want to soak my shoulders and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Having a bath is one thing, but I would only "soak" once it's 100% flat (no scabbing at all). oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll stick to a shower and a hot water bottle then for the time being, thanks! Determined to look after this and help it heal well oboogie and SStu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross.anderson.58 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi. I'm uk based too and also from a family that would give an earful if I told them I had tattoos. I had my first one in basically the same place as yours. Easily hide-able. Then I had a second in the same area which now covers half my thigh. This month i had one on my chest/collarbone. Good luck keeping them hidden now you have the bug. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
