I had a dude that is currently deployed leave me a comment on my blog saying how much he loved it, and that he read all 250 some odd posts and loved it. I thought that was seriously so awesome.

"magic soap" = bactine??

No, I do believe it's a reference to a new type of product that contains a topical anaesthetic. Nick used it on me when he was doiing my ribs, and it was tits. A spray-cleaner type thing, with the advantage of giving you a few minutes of almost numb time while you're being worked on. Doesn't completely kill the ouch, but sure nuff cuts it down.

Actually, made me feel the sissy for letting him use it, but to quote Nick, "look at you-you've got nothing to prove to anyone!"

I don't think tattooing should EVER be totally painless, but hey-a little help never hurt!

It is Dr.Bronners magic soap.It's a castile soap they sell at health food stores,the peppermint kind.Some tattoo artist use it instead of green soap.The only difference is that Dr.Bronner's isn't antiseptic like green soap.Sometimes during large pieces the alcohol in green soap and the constant wiping can make a tattoo sore and raw,then I switch to the magic soap & the peppermint in it cools the area down giving it "a topical anesthetic" feel even though it doesn't have a topical anesthetic in it,because it takes away the burn.You can apply stencils with it too.

[Dan S]

No peppermint in the stuff I'm talking about. Str8, it's a topical anesthetic. Not sure if it's what the OP meant by "magic soap", but it sure felt magical to me!

@Oscby that serra leopard is tits!

richard stell mentioned he used to have something like that but hadn't had it in a long time.

[Dan S]

From what Nick told me, this is sposed to be the coming thing...lotsa people can't deal with a little ouch to get some work in, and this stuff helps.

@jollyj + #dan s

Thanks.

But that does sound exactly like it's designed for what Bactine does. Definately makes hours 4-6 much more tolerable.

@SStu, this stuff was way yonder stronger than Bactine. I will find out what it was and let you know.

It looks great. How many hours so far, and how many sessions have you broken it up into? I have one side down and one to go. It will be my last multiple session tattoo, and I am happy about that, but not so happy about another rib tattoo.

[Dan S]

@Jade 1955, very heavy, Bro.
