AT works really well on my legs, and I want to fill out some smaller spaces. Love American traditional SO MUCH. Can't wait to see your upcoming pieces, @Dan!

I don't want to be catty here, but mice doesn't begin to cover it.

I love a good pun.

I am deciding on what's next on my legs. I don't have an anchor, and I love a good American traditional anchor. That or a lighthouse. That may be what happens next! Better get on Josh's schedule!

upcoming for me I have a large traditional anchor from Oliver Peck on my right thigh in October and a traditional tiger head on my left hand on 08/25 from Alycia Harr  planned. I have been getting back to some good old fashioned american traditional lately.

So I had to run to the pharmacy and bought some tegaderm. They only had the smaller pads so I had to do piece work over this tattoo on my thigh that I got yesterday. This is the second bandage. I took the first one off this a bit before applying this one.

There are allot of overlapping areas to make it fit. Should I be fine? Are the areas where its overlapping 1 or 2 times not able to breathe because of the extra layers?

Right now it feels pretty warm to the touch.

it looks fine,the overlapping is not a problem,I put mine on in pieces sometimes,as long as there is no pockets of fluid under it,I leave it on for 3 or 4 days after the tattoo,it will already be at the peeling stage,I love that stuff.the warm feeling is also normal.it looks fine.

Saniderm(the one I use) says this " For large areas, pieces of Saniderm may be overlapped  ".

Wrecked my GoldWing this evening. Really lucky to just have bruises and a cracked wrist. Heavy I-40 traffic downtown Knoxville, looked to right lane to make sure it was clear to move over as my exit was coming up. Someone cut off the SUV in front of me meanwhile, and when I looked back he was getting large FAST. Grabbed too much brake and went down, rolled, Didn't know about injuries, so I laid there (guy behind was alert and giving me space). Took the ride of shame to the ER and outcome is just a lot of bruises and a cracked wrist. Don't know about the 'Wing - hauled by wrecker and I'll check on it tomorrow. Probably totalled. Doesn't take much on these to total them. And I only had 105k miles on the Black Pearl! I'm really not hurt badly because of divine intervention and wearing all the gear all the time. Helmet worked (ruined), gloves, boots, brand new first-time worn armored pants - all but the boots ruined saving me inside.

So, shitty because of a little pain and expense and probably loosing the 'Pearl, but awesome for limited injury and the love shown by family and our minister, who drove Judy to the ER to see me and brought us home.

yep ! glad no other major injuries,crazy stuff !

Considering an inner wrist tattoo - heard it might be a painful area since the skin is thin there - any experiences?

my wrists were not necessarily worse than any other parts for me,IMO all tattoos hurt.

don't let the pain level of a certain body part steer your desire to have a tattoo.

@Dan, I'm sure you posted it somewhere, but who did that rose? I love it.

@PrivateAle, Fest 10 was a blast. The last one I went to!

I have couple of ideas about hand tattoo. Which you like?

more ideas for hand you can find here - http://thewildtattoo.com/powerful-roaring-lions-tattoo/

 

sure,if you find the right artist,and I would stay away from palm tattoos,I love back of hand or top tattoos,but not the palm.

 palm tattoos are guaranteed to "fall out".

and the pain level is insane,(from what I have heard).

I have a  rose on the top of my right hand and have an appointment to get a tiger head on my left hand the 25th of this month actually.

 that web site,it's yours ? right ? are you trying to sell designs or is that your work ? 

are you looking for ideas for your self ?  what is the point of your post ?

This is my first tattoo ever. How long do you guys think it will take for it to completely heal. Do you have any tips on healing? Im using an ointment called Fucidin (antibiotic).

Any help is appreciated, thanks

that small of a tattoo in all black ink will heal easy,just keep it clean and use something like Aveeno fragrance free lotion lightly a few times a day.that tattoo should mostly heal in a few weeks,most tattoos take months to fully heal though,

we just got back from a few days camping  here http://www.schoolhousecanyon.com/Home.html near https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerneville,_California ,it's about 130 miles from home,but the highlight of the trip was seeing the 1000 to 2000 year old giant redwoods here http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=450 , here is a couple of me and my wife and our kid, 

pretty amazing trees,we hiked a couple miles in and out.

I am closing in on finishing my first-ever computer build, yaaaay. I am quite proud of it, considering all of the things I chose to tackle for my first time building one. I crimped and sleeved my own extension cables, repainted my mobo thermal armor, hand-sawed, champfered, and routed my cooling loop with acrylic tubing, and I installed waterblocks on my CPU and GPUs. Now that I've done it all from top to bottom, I don't think I'll ever be paying anyone else to build my gaming rigs for me again. :)

Still got a little distance to go yet, but I can't wait to start using it, not least because my current box is in its death throes (and I've been sitting here staring at my HTC VIVE box for two months without any ability to use it!).

 

 

 

that is beautiful ! very nice job,I would love to see more pics of it.

Hey, I was in yesterday for a back tattoo and have a question. I did something stupid and went to the gym today and laid on the mats and the bench press without thinking (my tattoo was not covered). Then my friend mentioned MRSA so I freaked out and put some Purell on the tattoo. Obviously not a great idea. I ran home and washed it with antibacterial soap. The Purell was on for maybe 25 minutes. Should I be worried about MRSA or the Purell?

.like was said,it's too late now,

.

considering how dirty and germ infested public gym/fitness centers are,

..

all you can do is wait and see if it got infected or not and deal with that at the time.

.

and yes, I agree with you,that was a pretty bad idea.

there is a great reason why every one says to "keep it clean".

put it down as "live and learn".

Rocky, our daughter's dog, was attacked by a pack this morning and we had to take him in for emergency suturing and a drainage tube. We can bring him home this evening. I suspect the pack is actually a bunch of dogs that hick neighbors just leave running free and feed about once a week. One of my tattoos is a heart like the one on Rocky's ear.

:(  poor baby, best wishes for a speedy recovery for him.

I want to became a professional tattoo artist. Now I`m learning tattooing. That`s cool idea to learning from a dvd!) thanks) How do you think, which tattoo machine is good for beginner?  Should I buy professional kit (like this one ) or better start working with simple tattoo machine?

.

for that style I like 3/4 sleeves(both done) with connected L&R chest panels.when staying with 100% cohesive Japanese,I like that traditional Yakuza style/look.Like these
