I've been wrapping my own tattoos (bigger torso stuff lately) with a layer of this stuff instead of A&D or vaseline: Maxeline 5. its a lidocaine cream which is also a vasoconstrictor so it basically doesn't bleed or leak, which =no scabs. I leave the bandage on overnight and I've never had a faster heal. My Ron Wells stomach destroyer that goes from sternum to navel was peeled and healed in 10 days.

Uniforms, haha yeah, that's exactly why I got into this business. Shit, on the average I dress better that 90% of the dudes I work with (sorry guys but you know its true) I drop a pretty good amount of coin on nice clothing, so much so that I often tattoo in an apron just to keep that shit clean. But guess what? Not often, but sometimes, it's hot out and I just want to wear my Jesus Lizard T-shirt and a pair of cut-off dickies with no socks. ¡Uniformes pal carajo!

Dre said its some other dudes that took the space over, it definitely has nothing to do with anyone shown on that site.

How do you treat other tattooists that visit your shop?
Perez replied to Deb Yarian's topic in Crazy Tattoo Stories
All depends man, these days things are different 90% of the time another "Artist" (whom we don't already know) walks in the shop they are usually either a) a scratcher b) want something from us, or c) both It's sad that when someone tells me what should be happy news (I'm part of the club! Just passing through!) I have to eye them with suspicion. But such are the times we live in. Everyone's a fucking "artist." Everybody wants something. So when I pass through a shop and get given the ol' up and down myself, I try not to take it too personally, usually a brief chat will put us all on the same page. I mean I don't get indignant or anything, I'm nobody and don't expect anyone to "know who I am" or anything so, no biggie. Sometimes you have to "flash your badge," or "say the secret word," etc. If someone is still shitty though, Oh well. Some people are just assholes, another unfortunate side-effect of the 'biz.- 15 replies

There is nothing in my career i have learned more from than GETTING tattooed. Period. Vegan chefs make shitty steaks, If you don't have tattoos you shouldn't tattoo.

There is nothing more nerve wracking that making a tattoo on someone else that you know you will see every single day for the rest of your life. I'm hard enough on my work as it is.

yeah whenever I've used it I wipe/have been wiped with water exclusively. it'll last for a hour plus that way. you hit it with greensoap and you feel the sting almost right away.

I second maxiline, have tattooed others who used it and used it myself, with great results. Just don't get any alcohol on it, it makes it stop working almost immediately.
