thanks for the warm welcome!

yeah when i first started tattooing id tell people not to put anything on their tattoo after the hot compress for a few days and then just use regular non scented lotion because it was the only full proof way of getting first-timers not to do something stupid with their aftercare. i had a handful of clients coming back with their tattoos healed in a week or less and i finally asked what they did and they ALL said the same thing you just did. needless to say ive had a change of heart and recommend only aquaphor.

Hey everyone at LST, my names Nick Hayes and im a tattooer at Third Street Tattoo in Hermosa Beach, CA; (its where drug addiction and Black Flag made their mark) Been tattooing about 5 years. I apprenticed under Brian "big5" Barber at Union Electric tattoo in Wilmington, CA for a couple years. He's a tattooer/machine builder and owner of Union Machines. Check them out! I really enjoy early american traditional tattoos but try to keep my abilities pretty open to all styles. Im always reluctant to change so I was slow to get on facebook, slow to instagram, and in good fashion...slow to LST. Heard nothing but great things from all my past co-workers and im finally pullin the trigger! i dont want to be one of those guys who ransacks the tattoo industry so im hoping ill able to bring something to the table to tattooing as well as this forum. Have a good one and thanks for reading.
