Maybe have a sticky post at the top of the initiation board that has the top FAQ for healing/blowout/regret... @SStu

Side profile Lord Ganesha, made to fit by Robert. Another awesome tattoo located in a place that I will never see it.... 🙂

Welcome, Late to getting tattooed at 29? Good heavens, no. My advice...pace yourself and make good decisions, grasshopper. 🙂

Let it heal...breathe. Looks good! Nothing can be done about a little blowout. It happens. Skin is not a piece of paper. In a few years, it will all mellow out anyway. 🙂

Hi. You need to keep your tattoo VERY CLEAN. How are you cleaning it during the day? Night?

Hahahaha...dying. @Hogrider

Welcome! Lot's of good people here, most don't bite. 🙂

I am out of my area of expertise but I would find an artist for a consult. Maybe you need some laser first.

Nope, not me.

Way too soon to tell but looks normal at this point. What are you doing for aftercare?

Well, I got a little excited at the end and didn't get a "done" photo of the tattoo but you get the idea. 🙂 The Garver pottery...OMG, I cannot believe that I own a couple of pieces. As far as I know, this was his first sale of his pottery. The shop, Ninth Wave, is owned by Dave Shoemaker and his wife. Very cool shop and super nice folks. It was an "Adorned" weekend. Side note: Bryan ended up with most of Adorned's flash and library. Pretty rad.
