We really need an "ignore" or "block" option on this forum.

Why are you even asking then? Obviously you KNOW it all already. . . You are not a TATTOOER, drop the bit..... 
I tattoo ten chicks a week like you, you know better, be my guest..... But you know, you really don't know otherwise this convo would be ...  
Sorry guys I am sick of people asking for advice then belittling the people trying to help.

It is the center of the compass that has to do with the Sword of Fudo.... Immovable... The place that keeps all things in their order.... I believe... The Book "immovable" is what we referenced... When we were drawing the piece up...
Weldon was the only person I knew Richard wouldn't be mad dogging the whole time.... Richard fell asleep on the shop couch.... I really love the piece. Never thought I would get anything above the boobs....

Self taught tattooers..... HUMMM..... I can list a few people that I know, personally and professionally, that started on their own, in their houses.... and I know a few of those guys tattooed Richard out of their houses.... But they aren't typical examples of "self taught", they essentially hooked up with very well known and respected tattooers, who took them under their respective wing... and smoothed out their roughness and broke their bad habits...
Ehh, to each their own... 
And this folks is why it's important to buy from supply houses that actually check credentials... 
Trevino, Degan, Deutsch .... just a few. 

Yes to everything @Dan said. 
To add on the lotion front, even skin care products that have Alpha Hydroxy in them won't impact a healed tattoo!

a fragrance free lotion is good for a tattoo when it's healing because fragrance has a small amount of alcohol products in it and can dry out a fresh tattoo a tiny bit,
but a scented lotion will have no affect on a healed tattoo,or ANY lotion.
and yes,a good 30 or 50 SPF sunblock is a good idea when in  a lot of sun,
only time and the sun will fade a tattoo.

Thats correct, please click 'report post' instead of responding to them and I will ban them if deemed a spammer.
 

if you hover over the upper righthand of the post you can report the post, and then I guess the admin will take it further if need be

well that escalated quickly

This. How sad and lame.

It's not just those two choices. That's a false dichotomy. ;-)
If you knew you would be hated on for being a scratcher I guess I'm not seeing what you are trying to accomplish here. This isn't a "learn to tattoo" forum; "how to" questions are discouraged and not answered.
It's your body, if you want to ruin it, it's your choice.
