Each to their own I suppose. I’m just keeping it simple, for now lol

Do you stick to the same parlour then?

I go between two studios. Depending if I want neo traditional or not.

The hamster one is awesome

How many have you seen? I have 4 big ones and 1 small one.

Can only recall the hamster one

Thumper is for my aunt who died of cancer a long time ago.
Roses are representative of me and my sister and also are the colours we had at our grandmothers funeral from us.

This is my snake tattoo.
This means nothing :joy:
I have another tattoo but it’s special to me so don’t like to show and it’s my grandmas handwriting from the last card she wrote me for my birthday.

Nice and colourful :heart_eyes:

Wow very impressive

Snake one is back of the arm right? Guessing they took a few hours

Nope on the same leg as my thumper. You can just see it on the corner.
My leg looks very fat after swollen after tattoo. It was 16hrs of tattooing broken up into two days.

Cool. I’m sure what ever tattoos you get in future will be impressive.

Thanks for the info I’ll keep updated as mine sets and when I get my next one :star_struck:

Itching a fair bit now. Overnight shall I cover it with cling film?

Does your guy use transfer paper? Mine printed the design off, stuck it to my arm and then drew around it like a stencil sort of thing

You mean a stencil? Yeah
Do not cover it with cling film! Get saniderm next tattoo if you want to cover it.
It needs to breath at this point.

Ok thank you.
Scabs are coming off by themselves and not much itching at all, so far so good.

95% of the scabs have came off, tattoo is looking a bit washed out and grainy from where the needle scraped the skin.Bit of flaking around the letters, Read that this is normal.

What next ?

I’m going to wait until next week and then book my next one :slight_smile:

Keep going for at least a month till scabs are all gone.
That has healed mega fast.

Super healing! I had final work on a leg piece a week ago and it is still soooooo scabby.

Yeah I thought so as it’s only a little’un.

For the first week I washed it with anti bacterial wash a few times per day. Found the bepanthen worked great to relieve the itch :slight_smile:
Only a tiny bit of scabbing left to come off :smiley:
