@jen7, Its going to be a theme based on the start of life. Space/Earth/Animals @bongsau, LOL... Noted :D

@bongsau, Dude that is awesome! I am super excited... My back piece is now officially going to be a full back piece instead of half :D

Edit: ops wrong thread... lol :o But yes full back piece coming. :D

Nepok, How are you hanging? I hope well. My co-worker had the same reaction to red. Her body eventually rejected the ink completely and healed without no red in it. She is now looking to do a cover up. Keep up with your moisturizer and your doc. Take care and good luck. Edit: Old thread revived by bump... :)

@SeeSea, This whole situation sucks... :( I hope it all gets sorted out and you get the scan going.

Congrats x2! :)

I understand your above statement. What I did not understand is your vagueness. My hands are up and I am complying with your orders. :D

@CultExciter, I am sure it is, I never said otherwise. I am just trying to help. In the other hand makes me wonder what or why is not appropriate about what I posted. I have not said anything that you cant find already on the internet. It's all black magic.... Ill just back out before I get burned.

Yes. That's Fantasia Ink. Fantasia Tattoo Inks Looking up ingredients now. - - - Updated - - - Here is some info. http://info.painfulpleasures.com/help-center/tattoo-information/top-brands-golden-age-tattoo-inks#Fantasia%20Tattoo%20Inks Will find more on actual ingredients later... Though be ware that it seems that most company's tend to keep the ingredients list close to their chest... You can find "generic" info around forums from ink chemist and company owners. Worst case scenario, I have a friends at Rice University who can help me figure this out..... I will just need to get my hands in one of their bottles... Ill keep you posted,

Welcome to LST. Do it! :D So many good artist on your side of the world!

rofl!!!!! Hahahaha!!!

I didn't sign a consent form on my last session, We just went straight to work after a bunch of idea exchange...

It is. The back has so many different spots where it just surprises you with the different type of feeling's you get from one spot to the other... Is a fucking roller coaster... nonetheless it is tolerable... :)

Before I go in I cook my self a nice chicken breast smoother in mushroom with a light coat of home made Asian sesame dressing, followed with a small green salad and a yougurt for desert. During the session, I go in prepped with a small hand held cooler with ice and home made OJ and several bottles of water, I also bring snacks like veggie chips and dry fruits.. All made by my wife :) Post session I eat a grilled chicken salad followed with a granola bar and OJ (for my sugar issues... Fuck u diabetes!!!) I than do a couple of chores and make sure my sugar stays where it needs too. Than do the husband/dad part (helps me relax before bed...) And than is sleep time. :)

@jen7, Thanks... It sure is a bitch but life keeps going and so do I! :D @Colored Guy Never thought about that... Will do the next time.

@SeeSea, Thanks!

To be honest... I was been a dumb ass.... My brother went with me that day and he got a back piece done while I got my half sleeve started.. He was flying back home to PR at 7AM the next day... So... We both finish, It was around 2AM or so and my brother told me "Lets eat something" I said ok, I got home and he ate a quick snack + sandwich... I said .... Its too late and we have to wake up in two hours for your flight... He told me to eat something and me been hardheaded I just went to sleep... I pay the price.... My sugar drop insanely when I woke up went to the restroom and on my way out I hit the floor hard... Hit my head with the dresser... It was scary but funny... Cant explain it... It was one those things of "I told you so" :p

Interesting thread... My wife has a distinct dislike for tattoos (Very conservative person) but she deals with them because she meet me with them. Now 13yrs married and I still get them. Now getting older has not help me lol.... I am now diabetic and if I don't eat well after I get a tattoo I will hit the floor the next day or I go in a risk of going in to a coma while sleep... That gave my wife the power of arguing with me every time I get a tattoo or go in to a session.... She did saw me passed out the next day after a 8hr session... I didn't eat nothing and went to sleep.... Woke up went to the restroom and I hit the floor.... lol.... Scary but funny... At any rate I hate the fact that I am diabetic and my wife argues to me about it and tattoos... Funny shit is that I am a healthy person... She likes my tattoos and she does not give me a hard time with them unless she finds something wrong, and if she does she will voice it... At the end we are together for ever.... ;) She does bitch about it from time to time about the risk I am running but than she gets over it... She helps me allot when cleaning parts of my tattoo that I cant reach... She basically took care of me when my back piece was healing...

I could help if you know the brand of the ink used? Keep us posted!

My skin drys allot during the winter and it hurts and itches like crazy.... I usually keep my tattoos moisturize due to excessive dry skin... I have been using aveno but it really has a heavy feeling on your skin... It's also causing my pores to clog up... It's also leaving a heavy coat of dry lotion... I am hoping that Udderly Smooth does the job... :)

When it comes to tattoos a critique can go very far in someones brain.... It will definitely fuck with it... When I first posted about my tattoo I received help from several users here in LST and they even PM me with suggestion, artists, etc... This place is awesome. Any ways back to the OP :D

Any updates from the OP?

silentspring, Wish you the best of luck and a fast recovery. Stay positive. All will be well!

Just placed an order to try it out.
