@Hogrider Here’s the end result! 
I absolutely love it and love what my artist did to “spice” it up a bit 

 

that turned out really nice !  I like it.

a good quality 50 SPF sunscreen will work just fine.

so the first and best advice I can offer is to not go back to that tattooer,I think a better tattooer could rework that into a good tattoo, and sometimes there is scar tissue, from a bad application of the tattoo.

Having only just done the lining, I'm really hoping it's the shading lol 

shading is easier than lining IMO, especially if it's done in 2 sittings

Hi guys, 

New to the forum and recently caught the tattoo bug! Had 7 since November and more booked in. However as part of filler for my latest tattoo it's developed some thick scabbing in one area and I'm a little bit concerned as I've never had scabbing quite so thick.

From what I've read maybe it's just overworked but I thought I'd ask for some second opinions whilst introducing myself 

Ps I know one of the petals could do with a touch up, not an issue! 

 

Thanks and hi 

 

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.

it will probably be fine when it completely heals in a month or 2

I love Aussies I adopted a senior Aussie many years ago, one of the sweetest dogs I ever had.

ya, this is our 2nd aussie, after we had the first one for a while we knew we would never have any other breed. they are very special.

Lily is 18 mo now, and the light of my life.

looks normal to me,  those little wrinkles can last a while, put away the magnifying glass.

Why does mine always come off? It never stays on four days or a week for me. It always ends up leaking, and I have to remove it.

this what I do and it seems to work good for me, I don't put the saniderm on until about 24 hours after getting the tattoo,

before I get the tattoo I shave the area around where I am getting the tattoo, and where the saniderm will be applied,the saniderm sticks betterwith no body hair,

for the first 24 hours after getting the tattoo I keep cocoa butter on it, and I wash it every few hours with anti-microbial soap or what ever you use, and keep applying a light coat of the butter, and I use saran wrap to keep it covered,

then after about 24 hours I wash it one more time and apply the saniderm to dry clean skin (no cocoa butter) most all of the liquid is done oozing at this point and it stays on for 4 or 5 days ,no more liquid build up happens.

it looks great ,

I want to get a Halloween tattoo on my shoulder, is it too late? What pattern will not be out of date?

too late ? not sure what you mean, it will be there  every halloween for a very long time,

 and if you like a certain style tattoo, it's never "out of date"

Its beautifully applied but feels very faddy and trendy . kinda like tribal lol does that make sense ? its not very sincere to me its clinical. Math does a similar style but nice and i got from "crappy" result 

WTF are you saying ? and don't post crappy websites like that here please.

welcome Pete,

it's a common addiction on this forum LOL

Hi, you should be washing it with antibacterial or antimicrobial soap a few times a day anyway, and yes, after only 3 days it wil be sore and oozing a little, it's an injury to your skin, after washing it, gently dry it with a clean paper towel and apply a VERY light coat of something like cocoa butter or aveeno lotion,don't scratch it.
