    Bigboy67 got a reaction from tatB in gauze vs plastic wrap over a tattoo   
    You basically just stuck it to your skin then pulled it off when the adhesive was still at its strongest. Try a diff spot, leave it one for at least a day, take it off in the shower running warm water over it while you peel it off, it'll give you a better idea of whether or not you react to it. Also, the few people who had reactions, they mentioned that the reaction took place in the non-tattooed skin, but that it didn't affect the actual tattoo healing negatively

    I'll check it out for sure. I've had a few tattoos that healed awfully, but usually it has a lot to do with my lifestyle at that time, not getting enough sleep, staying out late drinking , eating crappy food, etc.
    Now, I sort of go into training before a large tattoo session, haha. Sleeping 8+ a night, paleo diet, cross training, gallon of water a day, that sort of thing. At least it eliminates me being the problem

    /\ that is the biggest complaint my wife has about me getting tattooed. Dead bodies all over my tattoos? Fine. But ink/blood/plasma on those Egyptian cotton sheets? No fuckin' way pal...
    Doing more research currently on it... One observation though is that everyone who has used it once uses it for all future tattoos, which to me is a pretty big indicator

    I'll probably get a big Lebowski portrait of The Dude from Cecil.
    I might just pick a spot on my body and let Tim Kern do whatever he wants, I love literally everything that guy does

    I'm an accountant at a very large firm... Visible tattoos aren't specifically spoken about as a huge no no.... But everyone knows the deal. Even though tattoos may be really acceptable in mainstream culture, we still aren't there in the business world. I keep them covered at work. On my off time I'm tattoos blazing and if someone sees it then so be it

    Bigboy67 got a reaction from titforatat in What's a good gratuity or tip?   
    I don't understand. Why are we not allowed to talk $? It can only be good for the artists if people understand generally accepted etiquette...
    I was just wondering this the other day. I have always tipped, but those were guys tattooing out of other peoples shops. Does the same go when you are paying hundreds an hour to a guy who owns his own shop? You don't have to give me a $ or % amount if it's breaking some rule, just wondering overall.
