or . . . we're irrelevant, lol.

generally 4-5 days is the needed duration for the effectiveness of tegaderm. once removed, a warm soapy cleaning will remove the plasma/ink residue.

Summer's last hurrah. 4 days on the Florida coast, and the last time my naked feet will see sunlight not filtered through ink!

looks good!

Your sweat shouldn't really affect things much. Important that whatever you're doing outside doesn't include lots of dust, dirt or grime which might soak through your shirt and into the wound between cleanings.

welcome!

welcome!

Yeah, it's not overly dark. Instead of coming up with something to cover it, try finding a verified, competant artist whose work truly inspires you - and talk with them about possibilities. It would be pretty easy to come up with more geometric or organic pattern work that would nicely sit over that. A session or two of laser would expand those possibilities even more . . .

not me . . .

that doesn't look saturated enough for me. Being that light, it might not be at all recognizable in just a few years . . .

yeah. pictures or it didn't happen.

Tattoos are never perfect. Bodies don't necessarily have to be, either.

Yep. Nothing to be concerned with as far as I can see.

Welcome. Personally, I'd make the effort to strengthen my back. You'll have decades of thankfulness if and when you're successful. Most tattooists will want you to stand straight, 'cuz it'll be infinitely easier for you to correct your posture then to correct ink that is purposefully set in crooked.

In this thread, we commiserate about healing our fresh tattoos.
SStu replied to Pugilist's topic in Tattoo After Care
Looks ok, but leave it alone. Never let a fresh tattoo get wet enough for scabs to get anywhere close to being soft. I don't see any real need for antibiotics, but personally I shy away from anything that keeps a dry wound moist. -
Welcome!

@Gingerninja You're going to love Robert. Do you have a subject yet? He did my scorpion.

I think the design needs work itself.

This depends entirely on the ability/quality of the artist. Minimalism dramatically narrows the margin for error, so it's going to be extra important for you to proceed both with caution and educated. Both of the recommendations @Dan gave you are legit, but you're going to have to be patient to get in with quality artists.

They look fine for a tiny tattoo. You could add to it and/or add more detail as long as you are happy entertaining a larger tattoo.
