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.

This past weekend, I took a little road trip to Asbury Park. It wasn't planned but I had a great time. Ended up being Bryan Kienlen's first tattoo in his new shop on Grand Opening day, had a consult with Robert Ryan then hit the Paper and Clay show at Ninth Wave Tattoo where I bought a couple of pieces of Garver's pottery.

Reva, be good to yourself and don't over think or over analyze. Breathe. Most of all, ENJOY! The more stress you put on yourself, the more the experience can turn sideways. No regrets. You got this. Now, go have a good time!

Little lilac turned into...

Get some black in there and I think you'll be happy! -
Welcome! You need to give it time to settle in, heal and mellow. Don't obsess over something that isn't healed yet...give it a solid six months to settle in but I think it looks great!

@Oiocha I found a great relaxation app that I can send to you. It will ALL be worth it! @Baboom You continue to kill it. I have to get to RoA next year! (Oh, and confirmed with Kahlil - thanks for the help!)
-
^^This^^. Find an artist and let them work something up.
-
@SStu I'll most likely have to pull if from his flash and it's a small spot. I'm pretty open!
-
So...maybe in with Robert Ryan and definitely in with Kahlil at Old Soul Weekend
-
I am guessing this is your most visible and largest tattoo?
-
EM!!!! Listen to @Dan. He is wise.
-
Me, I think it will be very difficult to read...
-
Hey, overall nice tattoo. There could be a few little issues but in my humble opinion, no one will notice except you. Talk to the artist to get their input. Sadly, blowout happens for a variety of reasons including skin type. I think it looks okay but tattoos are not perfect. 🙂

Old Soul in Canonsburg, PA released their line up for Oktoberfest weekend. Is anyone planning on going? It's a crazy time!

Glad that you called a medical professional. Did you get an oral antibiotic? -
It will be fine! Looks 100% normal.

Follow @oboogie advice. 🙂

@Cosmo It's way too soon to tell anything. Keep it clean and lightly moisturize...and don't pick at it. 🙂 If any area gets red, swollen or you see pus then call a doctor. Otherwise, it looks like a tattoo that is in the process of healing. Leave ANY scabs alone!
