Nice!

I got this yesterday, perfect gap filler

Im Tom! I'm from Melbourne and have gotten into tattoos over the last year and really connect with 'traditional' as an art style. Currently working on two arm sleeves and so far looking sweet i think! Look forward to interacting with you guys 🙂 (I also needed some advice on a coverup design and was wondering what my best approach there is?)

I’ve been healing tattoos for more than 15 years with just a little coco butter. I think most problems come from using too much. Better too little than too much. I never had an issue with detergent.

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone’s tried switching out their aftercare products to non-comedogenic ones? I noticed breakouts on and around my healing piece until I stopped using heavier ointments. Also wondering if laundry detergent could be a factor—anyone noticed a difference after changing that up? Curious to hear if others have seen patterns like this.

10 year update. Funny I forgot about this post but accidentally saw it while researching powder pigment recipes. Tattooing led me to Waikiki Hawaii and now I tattoo with great folks by the beach and I'm still painting everyday. I feel like a lucky dude. ANYWAY, I've been making these Cyborgs Pinups paintings and tats recently. By the way if you're an artist and haven't watched the interviews Scott did on this site; then go do that. oh. psssst... if you have real experience mixing powder pigment drop me a message on instagram or my site tattoooos.com 🤙🤙 ill trade ya some antique flash, or a painting, or something cool for good info.

Did some more work on the Ninja Turtles sleeve. Were going to add another Foot Clan Soldier, Bebop and Rocksteady and Possibly Krang(sry nerd stuff). Im thinking a leaking ooze canister under the turtles flowing down into the Villains.

In today’s complex and ever-evolving healthcare landscape, nursing professionals must master both clinical excellence and ethical leadership. Capella University's RN-to-BSN program reinforces this dual responsibility through a series of structured assessments that blend evidence-based practice, informatics, and policy awareness. The NURS FPX 4055 and NURS FPX 4065 courses are essential pillars in that journey. Below, we explore four assessments that prepare future nurses to make informed, compassionate, and strategic decisions in real-world healthcare environments. Building the Foundation: NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 1 NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 1 introduces students to the critical connection between evidence-based practice and clinical decision-making. The assignment typically involves evaluating a recent clinical issue—such as pressure ulcer prevention, fall risks, or infection control—and determining how current research informs best practices. Students must identify credible sources, apply scholarly evidence, and align interventions with patient-centered outcomes. This assessment builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning and positions nurses as practitioners who value knowledge, science, and precision in every clinical action. Exploring Nursing Informatics: NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 2 In the digital age, informatics is as vital as a stethoscope. NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 2 requires students to assess the role of health information technology in enhancing patient safety, workflow, and clinical communication. Topics may include the use of electronic health records (EHRs), decision-support systems, or patient portals. Through this assignment, students explore both the potential and pitfalls of tech-driven care, while recommending improvements that align with nursing ethics and efficiency. It’s a transformative exercise that helps nurses understand their place in a tech-integrated care ecosystem. Advocating for Quality and Safety: NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 3 In NURS FPX 4055 Assessment 3, the spotlight shifts to quality improvement and patient safety. Students analyze a specific adverse event or system failure—such as a medication error, delayed diagnosis, or communication breakdown—and propose a change strategy using quality improvement models like PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) or Root Cause Analysis. The assignment emphasizes leadership, collaboration, and accountability in practice. It turns learners into patient safety champions who not only identify problems but offer proactive, measurable solutions to elevate care standards. Embracing Professionalism in Practice: NURS FPX 4065 Assessment 1 NURS FPX 4065 Assessment 1 Dives into the professional and ethical responsibilities of nurses. This assessment typically involves creating a professional development plan that reflects the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics, standards of practice, and continuing education goals. Students are encouraged to reflect on their growth areas, leadership potential, and long-term vision for their careers. By engaging with this task, nurses embrace the values of accountability, excellence, and lifelong service—cornerstones of professional nursing identity.

thats a gnarly bruise from capillaries bursting most likely too much pressure too hard of stretch

How did you treat this tattoo?

So I am booked for an appointment with https://www.instagram.com/jordy_hooper/ for a B&G octopus on my leg at the https://capcityclassictatcon.com/ this is a top shelf convention

I posted to the ladies thread but adding here too. Left elbow completed yesterday. A purple Chrysanthemum from Kyle's paint challenge. I'll add a pic of both elbows together (just getting ready for ANZAC March)

Left elbow done! This was from Kyle's daily paint challenge that he'd posted. I saw it and had to have it. He printed one stencil out and it was a perfect fit. Meant to be! Outline and the elbow knob sucked balls, but everything else was fine. She's lovely and swollen today!

Local shop had a flash day with a bunch of visiting artists and I chose this guy out of the book.
