Love these!!! I was at congress st last night with chad as well!! Will post pics of my chest piece when I get home. It's on his Instagram right now. Love it so much. Very painful! To be finished next time he comes back.

Super pumped!! I have an appt with Chad Koeplinger on Monday, May 13th, at Congress St Tattoo in Portsmouth, NH. Gonna get a chest eagle from him. Can't wait!!!!

Thanks guys. Appreciate the responses.

I'm told it can pull out ink. At 5 weeks, mine is obviously all peeled. Second peel done as well. Some areas still look a bit dusty as you can tell there's new skin under old ready to come out, which is why I want to make sure I'm not going to do any damage by putting sunblock on now. Been over 5 weeks since its been done. Thanks

Is it ok to start applying sunblock 5 weeks after getting a tattoo? I've read that it shouldn't be used on a fresh tattoo and want to make sure I'm not going to do any damage after 5 weeks has passed. Thanks in advance- Rob

Thanks! And couldn't agree more. It's a great shop and everyone is super cool. Great artists to boot.

Had a fun time with Jason Scott at Congress St today. Originally i was going to get a grim reaper , but we both agreed that this was a better idea. Love it and had a great time! Rob

I plan on it! I want to get something from Chad soon as well!

Have an appointment with Jason Scott at Congress St Tattoo in Portsmouth, this Saturday at 1p. He's putting a grim reaper under my Ron Wells wolf head, on my forearm. Super stoked. Rob

Awesome! And my wolf looks exactly the same right now! FLAKEY!

thank you dirbab!

thanks! great to meet the both of you too!

Here is a wolf head that Ron Wells did for me last night at Congress St Tattoo, in Portsmouth, NH. Not sure if you can tell by the pics, but it's on my right forearm, up close to the elbow. LOVE IT! Great experience, Ron is an awesome dude. Also had the pleasure of meeting @Graeme, and @Pugilist, who drove down from Canada for an appt with Ron as well. Pugilist got something amazing, but i won't divulge as I haven't seen her post a pic here yet.. but I did see it on instagram and it is completely and totally sick. rob true to iphone form, the pics are pointing the wrong way, which is annoying as can be.

I was wondering if someone from LST was taking that 1p slot. So funny that it's true! Very much looking forward to this. Nervous as well!

That is too funny! I know that Ron has a 1p appt and I'm scheduled for 5p. I definitely hope to run into you!!!! Rob

I am pumped. I have an appt with Ron Wells this coming Sunday at Congress Street Tattoo in Portsmouth, NH. I am going to get a wolf head. I absolutely love his wolf heads. Rob

I usually take a good 14 days for a full peel, but then I usually have a very light secondary peel a few weeks later. I've read that it takes roughly 45 days for a tattoo to fully heal. - - - Updated - - - also, I had a few spots in my most recent tattoo that took much longer to heal than others. In the end, all turned out just fine. i think your tattoo looks great. That black lettering healed perfectly. I think you just need a little patience with the red, but i'm sure it'll turn out fine for you.

Gotta agree about Hobo's and congress st. Portsmouth is not far from Boston and is the place to go.

Eisen777- awesome!! I saw those on host Instagram page!!! I am hoping to get over to congress street sometime in December for something from him.

A cop in the neighborhood next to mine has a forearm tattoo. He wears short sleeve shirts and it doesn't seem to be an issue, but I live in New Hampshire where our state motto is "live free or die".
