I like to do smart car tipping,similar to cow tipping,but way better.

Not a big fan of scratchers. Do it properly or not at all.

Wham-o.

Wish I could show mine off more but I live in England so it's not that hot. At least my office doesn't have a dress code, I work in film and I swear half the office has tatts!

IMO that's not gonna happen,if anything being kept out of the sun a tattoo will remain brighter and better looking.
I have both ankles tattooed and wear socks for work and they still look great,I think the sun will do more damage to tattoos than any piece of clothing,and like was said,a tattoo can't be rubbed off,or damaged, or degraded by straps or clothing.

I live in the hot and humid south. Gets up to 115 some summer days. AND HOLY HUMID. It's sticky and gross. Hahaha.

me too,it's all about comfort,I live in a place that's hot in the summer too,Sacramento Ca,
where do you live ?
and right on to the dead shirt,back in the 70's & 80's I did about 75 dead shows. LOL I think anyway ! LOL

I work in advertising, and no one cares what I wear. I show my tattoos a lot during the summer just because it is HOT where I live. I am really glad I don't have to wear grown-up clothes, too! Today's ensemble: Grateful Dead T-shirt, harem pants, gladiator sandals. I'm all about comfort!

LOL that's not me ! !!! LOL I don't even own a dress shirt or tie or slacks ! my version of getting dressed up is a button up shirt and long pants ! LOL
.
I wear shorts and tees about 11 months a year ! even for work,I must have been a UPS driver in a past life.
too bad I have to wear shoes for work though :(
no shoes allowed any other time ! sandals only ! I think I am permanently lost in island time.
ya,I use a lot of sun block

Well, I'm just going on a couple of people I know who have to wear grown-up clothes (and dress socks) to work every day, and the tattoos on their ankles look like ass now. It may be more to do with them being shit tattoos, though. :-)

Your clothes aren't going to rub off your tattoos.

Female here who can absolutely NOT go without a bra :)
I have tattoos on both shoulder blades, one of them I've had for almost 20 years. After healing, there is nothing that a bra strap (or any other clothing for that matter) will do to your tattoos.
Welcome to the obsession!

LOL awesome ! what a great blend ! love his look.

"What's one more?" is something Mrs. T says when it comes to taking care of another kid or rescue animal, so we'll test that out with our new adoption, "Finn". He was rescued 10 weeks ago from being euthanized by a new group called Houston Pets Alive. Most dogs get adopted pretty quick, but not this one. He's not exactly the most handsome little guy, but he is super sweet and we knew no one else was likely to give him a forever home.
We think he looks pretty cool. He has warmed up and loves his new dog and people family. It is obvious to us that he was abused in the past, but we will be patient in returning him to a more secure and happy dog.
Mowhawk? Check
1920's raccoon coat for the full Wayne Coyne effect? Check


Finn was warmly welcomed to the pack by Andy (right).

looks very nice,I like it,I don't usually see child portraits that I like .

I like the tribal/water/wave one,it's bold,colorful and nicely done IMO.

ya,I always tip as well,no matter what the artist is charging per hour.

what I do is for the first 3 or 4 days(3 times a day),I get in a warm shower and clean my hand with this an antimicrobial soap and then apply the soap to the tattoo and scrub the tattoo with the palm of my hand,that gets rid of the oozing plasma and keeps it clean and works great for my healing.

and IMO the hot compress would be painful.
try an Anti-inflammatory OTC like ibuprofen or naproxen ,and it would help if you can stay off your feet and elevate your legs.Instead of a hot compress maybe try icing it,that would feel a lot better than heat.

I always tip my artist, even if he's doing free touch-ups. The man is extraordinarily talented, and I think he deserves a tip every.single.time.

Yes! That's exactly what I use. I like Hustle Butter, too — it is mostly shea butter. Smells lovely.

I love palmers cocoa butter for sure !

I use Aquaphor or Bepanthen, then cocoa butter or Hustle Butter.

Ty, I guess a few days away from the beach won't be so bad lol.
