    What are tattoo appointment essentials?

    My favorite thing to bring is my wife. Even better if she is getting tattoed the same day- but sometimes we alternate. Outside of that, freshly showered and a solid meal. Sometimes I will have a beer with the meal, but I've never had two. I've never had a tattoo session long enough that it required snacks. If I did, I'd think something easy and protieny would be good- cheese and crackers maybe? 

    my wife and myself got tattooed by Oliver Peck in consecutive appointments at a Fresno show last February and it was a super great experience,we had a amazing day together,

    so much so we booked 2 appointments again with Oliver Peck at the SFO october show,pretty excited about it.

    I know it might sound silly,but it was a "bonding" day together,really fun.

    I have been to several shows alone,but it is way more fun with her,and especially if we are both getting tattooed.

    I don't think it's starting shit to say it's rude to dump on people's new tattoos. It's too late to change anything, why are you gonna make someone feel bad? It happens so much on initiation posts. But anyway doesn't matter, I've realised this forum is not for me. You guys do your thing, I wish lots of awesome tattoos in your futures!

    when people come here and ask for comments on my new first tattoo,what do they expect ? we are all adults here,this isn't a "Hallmark" forum,

    if it's a crappy tattoo, should we lie to sugar coat it so people feel better ?  NO !  IMO

    .

    "It's too late to change anything, why are you gonna make someone feel bad?"

    nobody here is trying to make anyone feel bad about their tattoo,if it's a crappy design or applied badly,as hard as that is to hear,the biggest thing is hopefully we can help people get a better tattoo on their next tattoo.

     

    it's that simple,

    and yes,our types of replies will vary just as us humans are all different.

    there are rules in place here and most people adhere to them pretty well.the moderators do a pretty good job here.compared to many online discussion forums this place stays very civil and friendly.

    Scabbing

    in General Tattoo Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Dan

    I used to scab a little,the last two tattoos I have had done I used cocoa butter and anti-microbial washing several times  a day,but I kept the butter on lightly 24/7 for the first 5 or 6 days,and they healed perfectly,no scabbing,I get peeling,but no scabbing,after the  first 5 or 6 days I go to Aveeno.

    .

    at night I lightly saran wrap the area and tape when sleeping so it would stay on and not soil the sheets.

     

    I use small towels on my armchair to watch TV,etc,etc

     

    I agree the color does tend to scab more than  black/gray

    I'm sure that this is barbeque sacrilege but I did baby back ribs in the slow cooker the other day. I made a spice rub, baked them for a bit before tossing them in the cooker then finished them under the broiler. Stupid easy and seriously yummy.  

    I've done that before,it turns out pretty good ! super tender.

    Not sure that lots of perfume/cologne would be appreciated...

    LOL  well I didn't mean over do it,all I was trying to say was that getting tattooed is a very intimate experience and we shouldn't  stink of body odor and should have good personal hygiene,no I don't glob on the cologne,but a quick spritz of AXE is a good thing IMO.

    not sure about you,but I like the "you smell good" compliments from hair cutters and tattooers that I get.

    Tattoo fade or distortion

    Does anyone have tattoos that have faded or become a bit distorted over time because they are located on crease lines on the wrist or elbow? How often are touch ups usually needed in these areas?

    tattoos go through many stages while healing,and they take months to heal,they will never look like the day you had it put on,EVER again.I have both knees and both wrists and both elbows covered and they do not look any different than my other tattoos.even after years,

    after the healing is done,

    1)keep it out of the sun or use sunblock forever. 

    2)keep daily lotion like aveeno on them forever.
