Good news, the antibiotics are done as of yesterday (7 days of 500 mg Kephlax 3x a day).  Today’s pic is day 10 after the tattoo and day 8 after starting antibiotics).  
 
The tattoo looks like it’ll be ok 🤞🙏 once it got infected I stopped putting anything on it and washed 2x a day, letting it air dry.  I did cover loosely it at night and if it was oozing with nonstick pads.
just sharing in case anyone else had a similar issue. 

I mean, you do you.
You're right to protect yourself if you think that's what's needed. Better safe than sorry.
But unless you actually think it's not as good a tattoo, and unless you've reason to question his ability, I see no reason to question the work.

do you want to stick with that style?
Might be tough to do a cubism nature scene, but you could always add more animals.

Making progress on sleeve number two from Scott Ellis at Triple Crown in Austin, Texas. 
5.5 hours of coloring yesterday. Next appointment: April 2020!

mine is a bit different, but I got it well after she died. it's a minogame: a Japanese folk turtle with seaweed on its back, surrounded by waves and maple leaves. it represents felicity and longevity, and for me it represents my mother who liked fall and the ocean.
death sucks, death sucks so much, but at least we can get nice tattoos

after how much it hurt, i don’t know if i’ll be brave enough LOL 😂 and thank you!

I'd say it heavily depends on the font and the general style. Would you post a picture?

Very nice. Now you're ready for your back piece!

just got my second bigger tattoo on my arm and i’m already in love with it!!

Garver, January 2020. It's on!

i'm getting a planchette from a ouija board tattooed on my arm this saturday with my best friend!! woohoo!!!

Freddy Corbin in February. It’s been a while since I logged on.

that's going to depend on the ability of the tattooist who might change the color - but imho it can only end up quite dark

Nice!
I hadn't seen this thread previously, but my backpiece is of Jikokuten, the Buddhist god protector of the heavenly musicians, mentioned in the Lotus Sutra. I could use some protection.
Cheers!

everything you're describing sounds completely normal for a healing tattoo

here is another music inspired piece of mine, small but I like it.

hi guys i’m new to tattoos and my mom got me into them. i made this account because im concerned about my current tattoo but i had to make this post first 

It's peeling. normal. Tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal.

I actually really dig this but please let it heal properly and see how it ends up. Are there quality issues? yes. As previously stated, I also would recommend a different tattoo artist. With that being said, I promise once you get more and more tattoos around and make a sleeve, you won't notice the issues that you are bringing up now (or atleast you won't notice it as much). Just gotta own it and move on  

I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel worse. It's kind of funny and bad in good way. Just keep it and get more (better quality) tattoos.

this for sure 100%  /\
