Update with color! [emoji216] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are some of my recent, mostly unposted (I posted a bloody picture of the rose but nothing since it healed) tattoos. The Toy Story Alien was a Friday the 13th tattoo that I had reworked. Zoltar and the Claw Machine are courtesy of Dillon Eaves at Charnel House and the rest are from Vince Maravel at Chapman Ave Tattoo with the exception of the original alien.

so I got a little hula lady from Tim Hendricks yesterday, it was a beautiful day at the bay and I had a great time at the show. my wife made choc chip cookies for them. I have tons of pics of the booths and artist I will post later.

Righteous! @Dan

So Jealous, looks great! I grew up in Fullerton so really need to get back down there to get a lady head from Tim Hendricks.

To add, if you are really this worried, go see the doctor!

Then don't wash it for too long or bother the scabs. Guy: Dr. my eye hurts when I drink coffee every morning. Dr.: Take the spoon out of the cup.

I believe the concern about swimming with a new tattoo is not about spreading diseases or germs to other people as it is about what it could do to your new tattoo. From what I understand, It is generally advisable to avoid baths, overly long showers or swimming to prevent the tattoo from becoming soaked and to protect it from bacteria and what-not from infecting the new tattoo since it is essentially an open wound. Strong chemicals and chlorine in the water can also irritate the new tattoo and interfere with the healing process. Other than avoiding the pool until your new tattoo is completely healed, you may want to monitor it for any signs of infection. Elsewise, just wait for it to heal.
