  1. stop looking at it with a microscope and enjoy it. I'm sure your mom loves it. wear it with pride and move on to the next tattoo.
  2. it's different from person to person and tattoo and ink used,for instance when I get an all black tattoo,there is no plasma buildup under the dermal film i use,and with color tattoos I get all kinds of plasma buildup,also another method I always use now is I always wait 15 to 20 hours after the initial application of the tattoo to put on the dermal film,there is no plasma buildup that way.Anyway,don't worry about "no" buildup,it's normal and just fine IMO.
  3. that price $$ makes a lot more sense,I was assuming you were paying by the hour, and btw ,that one turned out really nice !
  4. here is mine ( again because of broken links) tattoo by Jess Yen.
  5. LOL no,sorry,I couldn't resist,I have no clue !
  6. welcome to the forums ! that symbol actually means "naked fat man dancing on lily pad"
  7. yes ,and the haze will go away in a few weeks.
  8. wow !! all nice,but I really love the horseshoe and the topless lady !!
  9. tattoos on popeye characters from 1933 cartoon
  10. well,I love musubi,so I guess I'm a spammer.
  11. I lost both my parents and grandfather to cancer, my mom was gone at 59, I have been scared for several years now,I'm 57 and it's eating at me constantly.I think about all the F***ing time. CANCER SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. myself and my wife usually both get tattooed in consecutive appointments at shops and conventions, it's an awesome shared time together,we always have a lot of fun in those experiences. we always have a great time with the artists and usually laugh a lot and that also helps keep minds off of the pain a little.
  13. I would still try and use a product like Saniderm,have someone apply it for you and you can forget about any issues with healing,really this stuff is great.that way you can sleep on your back, ya,IMO it's going to be minor irritation to lay on it,but it will be safe for your tattoo and bed sheets to sleep on it. IMO the irritation of laying on a tattoo is different for all of us just like anything else,
  14. you could use a dermal product like www.saniderm.com and sleep on your back (if it doesn't irritate you to lay on it), and you can shower,wear any clothing,etc,etc,take off the Saniderm or similar product in 5 days and it's pretty much healed. this is a good deal ,I always get this one http://saniderm.com/product/personal-size-10-2-in-x-2-yd-roll/ how big is the tattoo going to be ?
  15. that's cool,thanks for rescuing,and that blend is a dog that's super smart ! we have a mini aussie and we call it "scary smart".
  16. this pic gets my vote for sure ! I love your sidekick !
  17. these are some of mine, this took about 4 hours in 2 sessions this took just under 2 hours,it's about 9X9" and this was a 9 hour "one shot" . this one took about 3.5 hours this one took about 3 hours this one 45 min this one under 2 hours here's one in 45 min 20 min
  18. cool tattoo, but holy crap ! that artist works pretty slow ! that took him 18+ hrs so far ? what is he going to do in 2 more sessions ?
  19. looks like it's in the flaky dull good healing stage IMO,it looks fine,I would use a daily moisturizer a couple times a day like Aveeno Fragrance free.
  20. it's a cool tattoo, but don't keep it so wet.whatever you're putting on it,apply it VERY lightly. keep it clean,and whatever lotion ,etc you put on it,keep it light. what are you putting on it BTW ?
  21. it varies,it's different for all of us,also depends on how much you are on your feet standing/walking, you can try an anti-inflammatory like Aleve or some form of Naproxen, and maybe try ice packing it, and sit down more and elevate your leg,treat it like any other injury to your leg, length of swelling ? my hands swelled after the tattoo for just a few days.but like I said it will vary from person to person.
