You're putting way too much lotion on it. Just use a tiny amount to keep it from drying out, you're not supposed to drown it.

Alright so this is the part that went red, its now a pretty good loss of color but thats about it getting this baby finished this week got 3 sessions planned, cant waiti ll let you know !

Unkindness is the only shop I'm familiar with and could recommend to you there, but it's more of a neo-traditional specialized crowd.

Okay thats what i thought. This is my gf, i always have to tell her to go easy with product after tattoos, but i didnt do that with this and this happened.

Yup, that's Clem from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Feel hot? Weepy? Some areas are extra sensitive and take more time for redness and swelling to go down

I know people that have experienced this, especially when it is a large or highly visible tattoo. You've drastically changed the way you look, so your brain has to "re-define" how it pictures your body. This can often lead to some temporary distress or anxieties. All my friends who have experienced this felt better after your brain gets used to your new look and self image. Hope that helps!

Have another kid, specifically a boy, call him Jake... Add a J and an E... Done! ☺

our skin varies a whole lot on different parts of our bodies,a shoulder will heal totally different than a inner thigh will,etc,etc

Ha...At least I can tell what that is.

yes, context is everything. I stand by what I said to this young girl "just get the tattoos you want". who cares. i hope that she heard that, if she was in fact sincere about tattoos. if she does get the same tattoo I wear, well i hope it's done really well and gives her the confidence and exciting feelings it gave me. own it ! everything has been done and reproduced. sure, she might end up with a similar tattoo in the same spot...everything has already been done...but no way is it possible for her to copy my look of (6) neck tattoos unless she wants to recreate the last 6 years of my life. i feel that the modern-age of internet tattoo picture collecting is feeding into this. Like, everyone is always taking photos of themselves, their surroundings and everything and anything...that we have forgotten etiquette and how to interact with the real world and more importantly each other real-time as people.

@Boiled Dove RIGHTEOUS!

Back progress. 3 sessions in. I will probably start a reaper back thread eventually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It looks great. Nice and clean enjoy it.

i'm not going to pretend i understand post-prison or gang life...but i wish you luck so you can take your kid to the public pool one day and enjoy a normal life. cheers

Quit putting antibiotic stuff on it. Just let it heal.

Just keep it clean. Don't over futz with it. It's further from your heart, which can mean it takes longer to heal. It looks normal to me.
