Ill hit that group thanx dead

We are still looking for the right artist to join our team. We turn work away every day because we are booked into the end of May.

Cherry Blossom Studios is looking for a skilled tattooer to join our team here in Fayetteville NC. This is large military town and there is money to be made here. This shop has a top notch reputation and our clientele search us out and get larger pieces as the norm. You must be a skilled tattooer with a great foundation in the basics of tattooing. Skills in realism are a plus. We are known for clean solid work so you must be able to fill that need. All frosting and no cake will not fly here. We are a fully custom shop so you must be able to draw. If you are interested send me a link to your portfolio and a list of references to [email protected]

is it only one color, just the black? whats the weather like where you are. Some inks/blacks will puff up when it gets hot out.

Not actually. The reason dark skin doesn't "take" color is that tattoo ink is placed below the layer of skin that contains the natural pigment. The color is in effect being shown thru a filter tinted by the skins pigment. Depending on the warm or cool values of the skin you can determine what colors will show up best. Example yellows don't show well in warm skin tones.

Still looking to fill an empty spot in the shop. I foyu know anyone needing a home send em my way.

every damn show on tv is exactly the same theses days. Hollywood has absolutely no creativity any more. Think about it, when was the last time you saw something truly original come out of that cesspool. I just saw the trailer for a remake of Total Recall yesterday. Granted it looks cool but damn get a new idea people.

Thanx for the welcome. I just realized I need to proof read my posts before I hit submit. I didn't "won" the shop I own it lol. This is what happens when I post without enough coffee.

Absolutely love this show. Books are even better.

The Epic 80's smash hit "Safety Dance". It never goes away.

This is our shops healing instructions. There are many different theories on aftercare for tattoos. We always recommend you follow the instructions of the artist that did your tattoo. They are, after all, the ones responsible for touch ups and many artists will not guarantee their work if you don't follow their instructions. These are the instructions we here at Cherry Blossom give to our clients: Leave bandage on for couple hours Wash your tattoo with cool soap and water. Make sure you get all the blood and ointment off. Let the tattoo air dry for 15-20 minutes. Apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor. Rub it until it goes completely away. There should be no shine. You will know to apply more when the tattoo feels tight. If it doesn’t feel tight do not apply more Aquaphor. Do Not pick or scratch your new tattoo. Do Not soak your tattoo in water. No swimming, hot tubs or baths. Showers are fine, just don’t soak it. Keep the tattoo out of the sun until the return of Jesus.

Spots with lots of movement tend to be the hardest to heal followed by places that don't get to breathe much. I had one client that when we did his ditch he actually splinted his arm at night to keep it as immobile as possible and it healed the best I have seen for the ditch. Also keeping these areas too moist causes a lot of issues in healing. You only want just enough to take that tight, dry feeling under control.

So Far the worst spot for me has been the backs of my knees.
