It'll be fine. I had an infected tattoo once, and it was nothing to do with the artist. After antibiotics, I got it touched up a few months later, and it is fine.
Going this week to get my knee touched up, some small tattoos to fill in my legs, and some stars and dots. I haven't been to see my friend/tattoo artist Josh in over a year, so I'm looking forward to it!
I don't know how well that will hold up, especially if you don't find an artist that has serious skills. I would try to make that less ... busy? There's just too much happening. Way too much.
You can post your stuff there if you want (after you've participated on a few other threads on the forum), but no one will buy it. There are no artists here anymore.
Just power through it. My artist won't work on anyone who takes pain medication. You could try some numbing cream, I guess, but check with your artist. I just don't think any numbing cream will help with the ribs.
