Alcohol. Not the type you apply - the type you ingest.

i agree that it's a nice tattoo. half jokingly - maybe the location has something to do with it? lettering on your arm is probably visible and neotrad on your calf is also visible to others. But YOU see this one on your thigh every time you're on the contemplative thinking seat of porcelain. more seriously - maybe the meaning of the tattoo touches a place in your heart and soul that you don't/didn't feel comfortable being touched. I dunno the meaning behind the tattoo, but if a castle is truly your home, perhaps there are other social and hierarchical issues in the realm, like who is going to sit on the Iron Throne. 😃 in all seriousness and assuming you don't live in a castle, perhaps the thought or idea of Home is something you're wrestling with and are being forced to confront. Nonetheless, sending good juju your way and welcome to LST!

I just got my first tattoo yesterday and I feel weird, I’m sad and just feel weird having it even though I love the tattoo... is it normal for that? It sucks and I dong regret it I just feel different about myself..

I did have sunscreen on my tattoo's just every other area. I wasn't planning on being in the sun as long as I was and i'm not one to normally get a lot of sun.

Here are some of my pieces. Sorry for the bad quality on some of the pictures. All the Japanese work was done by Chad Hunt who was at Name Brand Tattoo In Ann Arbor, MI at the time. The Tribal was done a few years prior at a different shape so he was able to work with what I had. The Skull and snake was done by Luke Barnes and the wolf head was Kyle Hath both at Harlequin Tattoo in Hamtramck, MI.

The ditch area is naturally tough to get healed without minor problems. Too much moisture is not going to solve the problem, in fact it could cause more. I let mine dry and crack. The eventual need for touch-ups are common.

😂 awesome!

THIS. Hahaha. I covered my first tattoo with a better one when I was 40. Now, I'm 48, and I have two full sleeves and my lower legs are both covered. I also work in a professional office environment (ad agency), and no one cares about my tattoos.
