Thanks guys, I will most likely be looking into other shops to get this tattoo finished. Appreciate all the input!

Yea i looked at jinx proof and have had some friends go there with good results, you know anyone at Jinx Proof or Tattoo Paradise with experience in celtic designs?

Hey I've gotten both my tattoo's done in D.C. at British Ink by Fernando Prudencio About Me , I live in Arlington a couple of my roommates got walk-in tattoo's done at Rick's Tattoo and were happy with the results

Really good article on reddit for post care of your tattoo. http://www.reddit.com/r/tattoos/comments/egafj/healing_process/c17vj2k

Hey guys, Very similar issue here, I got my sleeve outline done 16 days ago and everything seemed to be healing up just fine this is my second tattoo and i followed the cleaning / and vitamin A/D after care techniques i read on this site, that i did on my first rib tat. My rib tat healed up perfectly. My sleeve was healing fine until about 2 days ago when the lower half where my bicep is started to have tiny red bumps on the outline, the upper shoulder area is fine its just the lower part of the tattoo, both areas were treated with the same aftercare technique. Could this be an infection / reaction to the ink / or just be my skin sensitivity to the location of the outline since the upper shoulder area is perfectly fine. Ill try to attach some pics of what I'm talking about. Thanks Guys! http://i.imgur.com/YUYUW0E.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XXyNlay.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RTxUTlc.jpg

Hey guys, I actually joined because i needed a good resource for tattoo information and knowledge. I stumbled upon you guys on the recommendation of a friend. Great to be here look forward to contributing. I actually just happened to get my 2nd tattoo (or at least the outline for my sleeve). Can you guys tell me if this is part of the normal healing process (tiny red bumps, super itchy). The other tattoo i have on my ribs didn't get red like this, have bumps or itch this badly. Just hoping its not a staph infection. I followed all the correct after care instructions for both of my tattoo's. And on the sleeve it is only the lower portion (about where your t-shirt would end) that is causing me issue, the upper shoulder part has healed perfectly. The tattoo is a little over 2 weeks old. Just wondering if this is normal due to the more sensitive area of lower bicep/tricep. I attached some pics any responses would be much appreciated.
