So I had to run to the pharmacy and bought some tegaderm. They only had the smaller pads so I had to do piece work over this tattoo on my thigh that I got yesterday. This is the second bandage. I took the first one off this a bit before applying this one.
There are allot of overlapping areas to make it fit. Should I be fine? Are the areas where its overlapping 1 or 2 times not able to breathe because of the extra layers?
Right now it feels pretty warm to the touch.

I've been busy recently! First up I got this really cute cat and umbrella from Wendy Pham at Brighton Tattoo convention. I've been after this piece of flash for years so happy he's now mine! 
Next up (and also at Brighton), I got the side of my knee done by  Jody Dawber. This was the most painful tattoo I have ever got. I was whimpering like a baby (and I usually never make a fuss). I had to dig deep to get through it! Thank god she's fast.  
And last but not least, my latest addition (again on the side of the knee) from my super talented co-worker Lucy O Connell. Had my eye on this babe for well over a year, so happy to finally give her a home. 

I just used a combination of tegaderm and saniderm on a large arm tattoo 4 weeks ago as neither were big enough by itself.  I couldn't tell the difference when I took them off, so I think you will be fine.

Just got this hannya giesha from Jeremy Lamos on my thigh. So happy with it. The actual tattoo didnt take long but it was a long sit. Felt pretty sick by the end of it. Had allot of fun with the eyes.

When removing any of the -derms, pull it in line with the skin, not away from the skin, kind of like when you remove those 3M "Command" hooks adhesive from the wall. If you pull it straight in line down with the wall it pulls off without damage, but if you try to pull it AWAY from the wall you'll damage the drywall. The -derm film is similar to that, and if possible grasp both sides of the film and pull apart, like stretching a rubber band, and it will lift off the skin, just like the wall hook adhesive.
My problem this time was that it was on my arm, so I needed someone to do it for me in the parts that weren't already starting to peel. Where it wanted to stick I used coconut oil and worked it into the skin and it slid off. I use this stuff at work so that's how I know a few tricks!

I have a thing mostly ironed out with Dave for the convention, too!  Pretty excited.   He does great hannyas, really expressive.

Totally love the Cash piece, @oboogie! I'm team tegaderm/saniderm as well. One week later, mild flaking and no itching for this girl. One of my pieces didn't even flake/peel/nothing. Score!

Three new ones last night by Will Lollie! My wife and I got "matching" swallows and I also got the bison head. 
I've also added a quick picture of my healed foodog.
 

Ooooh great thread. I've just uploaded loads to the gallery but I won't post all at once. Here are some hands I've painted :

I'm trying to figure out if I have the money for it, flying domestic in Canada is stupid expensive. I can get from Vancouver to NYC for less than to Montreal...

The center of the chest was the most painful for me. Right on the sternum. It was a 4 hour sit and I was a huge bitch about it. The best way to describe it is that it was flavourful. I could feel it in my mouth and tongue.  Right at the coccyx and at top of the sternum, bellow the neck was the worst.

@shaga85 your tattoo will lighten up - they all do - if you arent happy with the design and execution - it'll just sharpen your eye for researching your next tattoo and artist - i wouldnt suggest adding to it - not every tattoo needs to become something more - just leave it be - i'm sure it hit the mark with its meaning - good luck with future tattoos 

Flying in from New Brunswick for this one! Basically hopping a plane after work on Saturday afternoon, spending a night and flying back after the con is over. Already booked a hannya on my arm from Dave Cummings, waiting on an email from Stace Forand for an oni on my knee, and hopefully a banger from Lucas Ford or Ryan Halter if I have time left. Going to try and grab some japanese refference from Gomineko as well.

I sorta assumed he would be haha Im not to worried about it though. It will turn out fantastic, and If it hurts allot that just means I earned it haha

I believe it. Mine felt like a hot knife carving me for 4 hours.

Rad! A tattooer buddy of mine just got his foot tattoed by Chad in July. He just let him do whatever he wanted. Turned out great!
