Finished and was a tough 2.5 hours...

Lots of people have different style tattoos. I don't see any issues.

Since it looks like you have the same issue all of the colors, I doubt it's a reaction to red. That is just a really rough heal. However, I agree with @Gingerninja you need to check with your artist. If it feels hot, see a doctor.

I posted this in the new tattoo section, but this one is finally done. I may expand on it, but not right now. Started last year in late September, next was late October, late November and this past Wednesday. Total of around 12 hours. Last session was pure murder even there was 2 months from the previous session. I like it.

I'll be there https://www.instagram.com/bayareatattooconvention/

I've never had scabbing like that, but I understand that if you leave it alone, you'll probably be OK. I'd go over the aftercare instructions with the artist, in person, in detail. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but that is some pretty heavy scabbing.

It isn’t hot nor painful. Just itchy. Going to the shop this week to show the artist.

Once again, I am on the wrong coast!

Have you checked in with your artist? Does it feel hot?

Hahaha...best post for the shitty topic thread! @JAC1961

Good luck. The community here has a lot of experience (Dan, SStu and Hogrider). If you don't want to take advice from people who have a lot of experience, go forth. I think that you are very likely to end up with a mess. Your skin, your body, your choice. I've been down the laser path for a bad tattoo and glad that I did. I was able to get it lighten enough for a great tattoo.

We've slowly, but surely been having plumbing, namely drainage problems. Today it finally became a problem that couldn't be ignored. Fortunately we called an honest plumber that instead of coming out and charging a few hundred bucks to tell us he couldn't do anything, he listened to the details and told us we probably needed our septic tank emptied. We called the local company that handles that type of thing and they had a truck here in about 30 minutes. Within a little over an hour he had found the tank, dug thru the frozen ground and pumped 30 years of... well you know. What we were afraid was going to be a costly expense was only $295... good shit!

Awesome! Who did it?

very nice !

latest session on the dragon project tonight. Tried some wonderful cream for those longer projects.
