I still wonder how people got tattoos back then.

"It appears Ötzi’s tattoos were made by using either a piece of bone or copper awl."

.

just keep it clean with anti-bacterial soap and keep the lotion on it a few times a day, it will heal.

you could also try a light coat of https://www.walmart.com/ip/Palmer-s-Cocoa-Butter-Original-Solid-Formula-7-25-oz/602195518?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1150

I doubt anyone would notice, If you want Japanese, get Japanese. I think mixing is probably more common than having 100% of your tattoos the same style. I think I'm the exception. I'm about 95% done with a Japanese body suit.

I'm a mix of different styles all over my body, it works just fine for me.

Back at the shop again today! 

Two tattoos from Binger; a flaming skull from his flash and a reverse mermaid that he drew for me. I was meant to get this last year but the universe was against me.

These are both on my right leg- lower calf and outside ankle. 

 

So bloody happy with them both! He also touched up the axe and swallow for me .

March is my birthday month, so it would be rude not to pay him another visit then😁. 

 

 

 

nice !

the addiction is real  😁

😭 it's gonna suck balls. But I want them done. Thinking I'll do the left elbow soon too , before I get to the "awkward gap" stage, so I have a bit more freedom in what to put there. Though I'll probably just go with two elbow flowers anyway 

at least for me, my elbows were not too bad.Don't over think it, you might be surprised how it's not that bad.

the only person to ask for that info will be the tattooer you choose to do the work,

it depends on how big, where it's going, etc etc,

you also need to research tattooers that do that style, making sure that tattooer is good,

once you find the right tattooer, setup a consultation to talk in person about your idea, it's a process,

personally I am not a gambler, I throw my money away on enough crap. LOL

Hello, in my youth a friend tattooed me with a sign, I never learned what it meant, you do not know what this sign means or where to find out more about this sign. I apologize for the quality of the photo.

no way to tell, find a good cover up artist and get it covered up.

just skip a week, pretty simple

I love both images and vectors. It's all very beautiful and shows us a lot of new things.

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objective, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

so, keep it clean, put a little Aveeno on it a couple times a day, and look at it again when it's healed in 6 weeks.

It looks fine, don't scratch it or pick scabs.

how long ago did you get the tattoo done ?

Hello. I really don't think so.
I don't know the frequency of your sessions, but with a certain regularity, everything should return to normal sooner rather than later.

WTF are you even talking about !?  are you just posting non sensical posts to be able to post spam ? or what ?  because your post makes no sense to me. if I am wrong then explain it to me.

it looks fine,

leave it alone, doing anything to it will F*** it up for sure.

A friend of mine had the name of his copy tattooed on his arm with mahogany oil. It was super bad and embarrassing. Worst of all, his copy left him because of it.

WTF ? what is a copy and what are you talking about here ? "with mahogany oil."

yes it is,let it heal for a couple months, the scabbing and milky look will go away.  don't pick at it, put on a light coat of Aveeno a couple times a day. it will be fine.

Hi everyone, I don't know if my question belongs here because I don't know where else to ask, so I'll try. My girlfriend (28 years old) has been thinking about getting a big thigh-to-ankle tattoo for a long time. I myself have full legs tattooed and the healing was relatively smooth.

The problem is that she has type 1 diabetes and any kind of rash on her feet took an extremely long time to heal. She was bitten by mosquitoes in the mountains last year and still has scars on her legs. Do you think it's a good idea to get leg tattoos with diabetes? Apparently everything heals very slowly. Is it worth persuading her not to get the tattoo? Is it even safe for her?

this is a question for her doctor to answer.

I was meant to have a couple more appointments, but one of my girls had a few scares. All good now.

 

Saturday I got the horse on my left inner bingo wing and the flipped demon/lady head on front left thigh.

Horse was mostly fine, but ita arse was a bit rough going.

Lady demon sucked. There was no consistency (very different to outer thigh which I could get into a groove with and was fine).  She went from easy, to shit, to easy every few seconds. But Kyle is super fast, so he smashed them out quick which made it easier.

Nice and red and bruised today! 

 

Next appointment is end of September. 

very nice !

I got my conceal carry permit in 2021,

yes, we need a permit in California,

we can have 3 on our permit, I carry one of these everyday,
