After taking the wrapping and bandages off. It’s complete, however you can tell the areas that have healed versus fresh ink. Looking forward to it completely healing and settling in. Hard to get the whole thing in one picture. I’ll get better ones once healed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just finished my first portion of the lower part of my sleeve! Can’t wait for it to heal... I figured I’d wait until it healed to post photos! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m assuming I’m over thinking this because it’s the first tattoo addition below my sleeve line which I see all the time. The ink just appears to clump up or look crusty (2nd photo). Not sure of the right word. It’s been about 3 weeks and all the major peeling is over with. Some areas are starting to peel slightly again. Should I continue applying lotion or leave it alone for a little and let it do its thing? In this photo, you can see one of the crusty/clumped up ink areas. Not sure if that’s the right words to describe it.

My police department’s tattoo policy finally changed... so starting on my sleeve. Have most of my forearm started. I think I’ve shared it somewhere but I can’t remember to save my life. If I’ve already introduced myself, I apologize. It’s been a rollercoaster. Rock on everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d see you being able to cover that up... only one main dark spot but I’m definitely not an expert. Go talk to one. Research. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sooooooo I know I’m late to this... but I wanna see this damn 3/4, 3/8, 1/4 of a 3/4 sleeve. Whatever the f**k it is [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They recommend about 8 weeks between laser removal sessions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tattoos can take up to 8 weeks to completely heal. I’m going through the same thing and had my tattoo about 2.5 or so weeks ago. It looks fine to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are so many different styles of “sleeves.” Some prefer smaller tattoos with fillers and some prefer the opposite. I got one, have a big tattoo on my forearm and plan on getting me symbolic fillers and shading to finish the full sleeve. Since you already have the one smaller one, your options are pretty open. Do you have any ideas for other tattoos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can only speak on my arm. I have a sleeve on one arm and the worst spot was near my armpit on the inside of my bicep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would it really hurt to miss a week? The healing process of the tattoo is more important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every tattoo I’ve gotten, the artist has wrapped my tattoo with both a type of bandage and cling sort of wrap. I was told to leave it on for 24 hours Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Such a hard question the answer. Some tattoo artists will charge by the hour and some by the design. There’s plus and minuses for both. Totally depends on the artist... I would try and find recommendations. If it’s a good, and reputable artist, it wouldn’t be cheap. I’d guess anywhere from $500-$800 for a renown artist Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel lucky because I think I found the best of both. HOWEVER, I would much rather spend several hours with a f**ktard and get a perfect tattoo than the opposite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on what you’re trying to do with them. Connect them for a sleeve... just got new ones like them? Where are they? Pinterest is great but you never know where they came from. Most artists I know have instagram pages... maybe start there? I know I’m a bit late to the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drink water before and LOTS of water after. Just my 2 cents Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I’ll have to get photos of my upper arm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally pulled the trigger and am finishing my sleeve. Session 1 of 3 down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone. Excited about getting to work on the rest of my tattoo sleeve tomorrow. Almost there... can’t wait to share the final piece and get to know others here.
