Uncle Tys

I'm reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's The House Of The Dead, it's about his time

locked in a Siberian political prison camp. Not as exciting as I'd expect as its more about the prisoners mental state and hierarchy as opposed to things that happened while he was there (that I was hoping for). If you want a great trilogy (adventure) The Left Hand Of God trilogy was amazing and highly recommended!

I keep the artist applied saran wrap on for the first 4 hours,then wash & apply new saran wrap & cocoa butter,then wash and one more clean saran wrap to sleep that night,then start with

washing with this soap every 4 hours for the next day in a warm shower scrubbing with the palm of my hand,

after each wash I apply a very light coat of the cocoa butter,

starting the next day, shower normal once a day and keep a very light coat of the cocoa butter on 24/7 for the first 4 or 5 days,

once it starts peeling & itching after the first 4 or 5 days I start using the fragrance free Lubriderm.

Your crazy. If you are using the correct creams and washing it consistently it probably won't even end up stabbing and getting itchy. Cocoa butter has to be the worst thing to put on it as its fragranced and is really bad for an open wound. Stick to Bapenthem or something someone else above has suggested like the OP has suggested above.

By the way the less you wrap it the better as it needs air to heel. Your basically doing everything you shouldn't

It's probably not the worst thing but when healing my first tattoo on my lower back, I somehow managed to sleep on my back the first night, and when I woke the bed sheet was stuck to it. I ripped off a lot of thick scab when I sat up that morning, it hurt like hell. This was a solid black tattoo and it forever imprinted on my bed sheet.

Ever since I have been healing my tattoos moist btw.

This happened to me in a hotel bed, got the top of my back done (shoulder to shoulder) went to sleep and woke up to a bloody/inked bed sheet. The hotel tried charging me for the sheet to clean it, I couldn't believe they wouldn't just chuck it out. Pretty disgusting

Anyway, I love waking up and seeing all the blood from a fresh tattoo makes it feel like I've earned it

Beli never be scared to ask what for what you want, your the customer and there boss on this job. They are serving you, don't be shy. In saying that don't be rude or pushy but suggestive and you'll find that most tattooists are really easy to work with, within there own skills set that is. Good luck and love the idea please post a pic once completed!
