My personal process is leaving the bandage / saran wrap on 24 hours after completion of tattooing. Remove wrapping, clean with saturated paper towels (Soap and water) in hot shower, end with cold water, let the tattoo air dry for a few hours, apply saniderm with an inch or so extra on all sides in case you need to cut any edges that roll up / cause irritation. Leave on 4-6 days depending on the area. Remove in hot shower to help loosen the adhesive. 

I think this is what I'm going to do for the color fill on mine:  clean after a few hours at home, re-wrap with plastic overnight, next morning clean again, then saniderm application.  This stuff is tenacious to remove (even after 4+ days), I'd hate to disturb things so much with only 24 hours passed.

I'll be missing it unfortunately! I'll be with Nava on the 6th at Davinci and O'donnell 7-8th though in NY!

When you're getting tattooed and while getting tattooed, you're thinking of stuff to fill in new gaps formed by the tattoo you're currently getting. 

Hey ! I've been so busy with work, haven't checked back in on the forum. I wish I could make that party, but I'm not getting there til an hour and a half before my 7:30PM Acetates appointment tomorrow night.  I've got 4-5 hour sessions start of Saturday and Sunday though, but you can only walk around a convention so many times haha. I'll definitely be stopping by the booth to shoot the shit.
 
 
Anybody else coming out?! 

Planning to fly down for the day to see at least Siebert and maybe one more!

His painting/original collection at the shop is so insane. He put a small rose filler on me from an original Rollo sheet that I absolutely love. Said he'd never done anything from it, so I had to ask...haha.

Pharoah's Cats by Scott Sylvia.
Four hour one shot
 

Here are 5 of the 7 I got last week. Unfortunately, that rose isn't gonna be that pretty once she finally heals lol. Looking rougher than hell right now. Will upload some pics of other two once I take some.

Any of you guys or gals do instagram at all? If so, shoot me a follow! @bearcat_78

So great meeting and hanging with you guys and gals!  Still having a hard recovery from that Sylvia ankle hahahaha. Maybe one day I'll get tattoos in places that aren't super dumb to get tattooed! 
I'll get around to final pics, but my list is:
Flaming Eagle Talon from Grez
Switchblade from Mike Wilson
Lucky mallet from Acetates
Kintaro Mask from Dan Sinnes
Rose and barbed wire from Sylvia (ouch!)
Robo-Tiger from Lehi
Ended up getting a small Hot Stuff tattoo from Todd Noble at his studio a couple days later thanks to a missed flight hahahaha.
Time to mentally prep for Bay Area!!

You got two AMAZING pieces! @Kevinb52 The Baku with the Oni really is one of the coolest tattoos that I've seen. It's funny that we were both in with the same guys on the same day (great minds).
This weekend was: 
Grez - ray gun (the entire neurosurgery team today lost their collective sh1T when they saw it today)
Dan - kappa 
Stewart - hannya
Nick Colella - Chicago gorilla (great story on that one)
Hendricks - panther head and rose
I'll say it again...I LOVE Pagoda. When I was walking out, I was thinking that I was able to get tattooed by artists from three countries, as well as three different regions of the US all while in Wyomissing, PA. Makes me a little giddy. 

Haha, man. Watching @Bearcat78 get after it was truly something. After I got my stomach done, I was cringing at the thought of getting tattooed again. Impressive, sir.
