In this thread, we commiserate about healing our fresh tattoos.
SStu replied to Pugilist's topic in Tattoo After Care
Yeow! Glad it seems to be getting better. -
absolutely on both counts.
-
Not necessarily, unless you don't want our input on ability. Not necessarily "specializes", but you'll definitely need one who is proficient in black-work AND cover-ups.
-
looks like it's going to heal perfect. nice job.
-
Newer ink is always more bold than those settled in. It'll take a year or two, but they will gradually get closer in tone.
-
For me, if the accumulated time in the sun throughout the middle of the day was going to equal more than 30-45 minutes then I'd be applying sunscreen once in the morning and then again early-mid afternoon. It would take literally 30 seconds and I'd feel protected.

It looks a bit overworked, which would account for the redness and swelling. If it persists, gets hot to the touch and/or puss-y then you've got a problem.

how does buying and using Flash from an artist work?
SStu replied to Asthma Inhaler Jim's topic in Tattoo Advice
I haven't. Sizing is an easy fix with a good copier. Most tattooists have one. -
There is lots of surrealistic imagery to chose from . . . or a Dali portrait?
-
What @Dan said. Anyway, it's going to be 4-6 weeks before it's fully healed and you know what you've got.
-
Your tattoo image doesn't have to be laid out so that passers-by can necessarily read what the intent was. This tattoo is for you. Pick an image that specifically reminds you of a favorite memory with your mom. In another direction, realism = portraits, too.
-
too early to tell. give it 4-6 weeks and you'll know.

I hope you'll show it to us again in a month or 6 weeks. -

SStu replied to wolfx's topic in Initiation
how fresh is it? that's not the same artist that did your side stomach piece, is it? -
yep, the background and teeth, too. that's a strange one . . . have you asked the artist about it?
-
likely just a slow heal. What part of your body is it on?

Sorry, but I'm not clear and what is what here. We've got 4 pictures. Which one(s) are your new tattoo and are the others references that your brought the tattooist? -
Take a day trip to St. Pete. There are 3-4 excellent artists here: https://www.amulettattoos.com/

That's not a difficult area. If you are wanting a very simple depiction or line drawing of the shell (?) your artist is going to need a VERY steady hand. Very capable people are in high demand and you'll have to be patient. Often it takes months before your appointment come up. Where are you located?
-
lol. it'll stop hurting eventually.
-
All 3 of those pictures are great! Poor Dusty . . .
