I. Absolutely. Love. The. Hot. Weather!!! Looking forward to basking by the pool Sunday afternoon after I get the grass cut.

Thanks man. I really don't want to. It would turn it into a 2 or 3 day ordeal with it being 4 or 5 hours away. I don't have any pictures when it was fresh, but here it is. Side note taking pictures of the back of your calf is harder than I'd like lol.

I had a real close brush with death last October... take THAT you F***ing heart attack...

It looks good. At six days, mine are unwrapped, getting plain lotion, and starting to peel. Lines peel differently than fields of color for me. You may not notice it if you are keeping the area clean, it may just peel off in the shower.

It's looking fine. Don't worry about peeling or scabbing, but stop re-wrapping it. Let it breathe.

Alycia Harr invited us to this event tonight,she and Cory Norris and Eddie Zavala form Classic Tattoo are showing art at this event,(among many others)it's right down the street from our home,looks like fun. http://www.imperiousrextattoo.com/

HATE HOT WEATHER.

So, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? [emoji12]@pidjones

I chose the first day of summer to finish moving and piling the tops of a big oak that fell taking out the power line to my daughter's house last month (power is all repaired). After that I mowed her yard (really wanted to get the month-old growth from under the tree) and started ours. Then I had to replace a valve stem that got knocked off the garden tractor. Luckily had a spare in the motorcycle kit. Then back to finish the ~2.5 acres (none of it flat). Got home fro work ~3:30, ~88 degrees. Finished ~7:30, ~83 degrees. About 90% humidity. Took all of yesterday (pouring rain) to recover. Sent from my Le Pan TC802A using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forum! We would really need to see a picture to make any comment about your healing process. In terms of after care, you should be following the advice of your artist....did he/she tell you to wrap it at night? Unless you have concerns about cleanliness, or you are using something like Tagiderm (which I assume you aren't because you seem to be wrapping it each night), you should be allowing your skin to breath - it needs air to heal. While some people here will advocate a dry heal with no lotion, many recommend a VERY LIGHT application of a fragrance-free moisturizer several times a day. Your tattoo should not appear wet after application.

Give it some time! Don't over moisturize. Let it flake, scab, peel and don't pick at it. :)

1st day of summer and our 1st tropical storm. Woo-hoo!

^ Aaron's going to kill that. Give him your ideas and he can definitely come up with something to work for the space you want.
