Both of mine look like they were done all at once even though they weren't. It is possible. 🙂

Yeah, it's really not a thing.

I had two half sleeves, then my artist finished both arms out into sleeves. There are many ways to go about it.

That is what tattoos look like when they are healing. It's fine.

I use Creme de Corps by Kiehl's.

They are all so defensive and so unable to use the search bar, apparently.

But I'll tell you. That isn't scarring. That tattoo is healing. I've had an infected tattoo due to an ink my body didn't agree with and rejected. It was badly scarred. It was tattooed over. It didn't hurt, it looks fine, and you can't see any scarring. But again, that's not scarring. That's just plain old healing. Now you know.

The same questions are asked over and over and over again, and they have been answered over and over and over again. Your questions aren't new. They have been answered. If you don't find search helpful, welp, I guess this isn't the place for you. I've been coming here for a number of years, and people are sarcastic and funny and helpful. But putting up sassy memes in every reply isn't really cute or particularly indicative of your want to be liked or assisted. But you do you, boo. Have fun with your little meme folder. Good luck.

He was just being funny. We do that here. 😂

I do, actually. Thanks for asking. 🙄 You really know how to make everyone like you right off the bat, don't you? 🤣

Got this a few weeks ago when Josh had a cancellation. Little bird friend.

Poor old Keith Flint. 😔

Just let it heal.

No. They really are one size fits all when it comes to healing. Leave it alone. Let it heal. The end. Also, don't say "tats." YIKES.

As @scottyg said, that location is difficult to heal. Just keep it clean and let it heal. That's what I did for both of my arm ditches.

It just has to heal. It'll be fine.

Dude. Don't lie to him. It is AWFUL. It is badly done and amateurish. There isn't a straight line to be seen anywhere. All the damn shading in the world can't fix that horrible tattoo.

If you can walk in and ask to get a tattoo that large, RUN AWAY. FAST.

Exactly. It lasts so long that it probably ends up being cheaper, but some people just wanna use Palmer's, and that's cool. Just doesn't smell like you could eat it. 🤣

I like Palmers, but I love the smell of Hustle Butter. That said, I've only bought it once because it lasts forever. You use such a small amount. To each their own.

If it is perfect, it's not their work—if they do shoddy work like the OP received.

It's too early to tell. It isn't remotely healed yet. You need to just look after it, don't over moisturize it, and keep it clean. You can always get it touched up. Is this your first tattoo?

I'd just keep it clean and dry. If you want to pick one of those two, I'd use Hustle Butter but VERY sparingly. Great tattoo, by the way.

Nice work. My artist used to tattoo with Travis, and I have friends who have been tattooed by him.

Yeah, stop moisturizing it. Just keep it clean and let it heal.
