I don't know how old you are - but in any case as you get older you will notice all kinds of new shit and other blemishes developing on your body. Most won't be tattoo related. 😉

Do you think Jesus would discriminate against you for your art collection?

It doesn't look like a zit to me. I wouldn't get a touch up on any skin that had an issue. Wait for it to heal.

Good artist is paramount. Once your tattoo is done the shop will only be a memory.

*In the interest of full disclosure: I am a stockholder in the company I am about to mention.* starting this month there will be a new technology for tattoo removal. The device is called Resonic and claims to use Rapid acoustic Pulse In conjunction with q switch laser. Doing so enables multiple passes per office visit. From the pictures the company has posted it also appears to be highly effective. this is the latest and greatest in tattoo removal technology and as yet has not been launched commercially so I am eager to see more from this company and how successful the device may be. As a stockholder, of course I hope the company does well for my investment, but hopefully from reading my previous posts you can see that I am rooting for this to work as I believe it’s the best hope of completing my tattoo removal journey. if you are interested in learning more, Google search terms: Soliton, SOLY, Resonic, and RAP (Rapid Acoustic Pulse). rest assured I will be posting before and after pictures when this becomes available within eight hours travel distance from where I live.

I'm not sure how anything is worse than a bad artist, but with all of the tattoo shops out there, I don't now why anyone would tolerate either. If you can't find a good artist in a good shop, you're not looking very hard.

Somebody is always going to whine about your tattoos. Get what you want. Don't give other people power over your life. Check out my back piece, I fully endorse the idea of a full back Hannya.

Forget about the color cartoons for comparison if you're just getting plain lines. If you look at the line drawings, they aren't bad, but there are more than a few shaky lines. Plain lines are the hardest to do because there is no room for error.

Get more. You'll stare at this one less.

No pain, swelling or oozing, then I wouldn't worry. I also wouldn't necessarily think your artist wen too deep or heavy. That is on thin, delicate skin and is most prone to taking a little extra time to heal. Most tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal, you're only a week in.

you could use a dermal product like www.saniderm.com and sleep on your back (if it doesn't irritate you to lay on it), and you can shower,wear any clothing,etc,etc,take off the Saniderm or similar product in 5 days and it's pretty much healed. this is a good deal ,I always get this one http://saniderm.com/product/personal-size-10-2-in-x-2-yd-roll/ how big is the tattoo going to be ?
