that silly one kinda goes with this silly one.

the only thing I can think of is to keep it out of the sun, FOREVER ! either with clothing or sunblock.

I like the wolf tattoo a lot,pretty cool :)

LOL you chill,we all know how Graeme is to people here,I don't need to chill,do you say let it go to him ? I am as much entitled to my opinion as you or anyone here is ! we all know how you feel about me ! so maybe you need to chill sweetie. I have not said anything more than you or Graeme have ever said here,(which is our opinions and thoughts) you sure do seem to come after me for anything non hallmark I ever say here. LOL I'm not the only one that says their opinion ,you sure did seem to ignore this one and all his I have seen like this in the past LOL

IMO that's true with any of the online "tattoo" discussion forums,I have been involved with online discussion forums of a wide variety for many years and of the 4 tattoo related forums I know of,running off new members with rudeness is the common theme, Graeme here is a perfect example of that.for some reason he gets a free pass to do it.anyway,I see that rude crappy attitude at all the tattoo related online forums I have looked at.I belong to 4 of them.

so it does turn out great when you tell the artist to do what they want,this is what Alycia Harr at Classic Tattoo in Grass Valley California did on my upper arm/shoulder.I just got it finished on Monday ,I am very happy with it.. . .

I keep the artist applied saran wrap on for the first 4 hours,then wash & apply new saran wrap & cocoa butter,then wash and one more clean saran wrap to sleep that night,then start with washing with this soap every 4 hours for the next day in a warm shower scrubbing with the palm of my hand, after each wash I apply a very light coat of the cocoa butter, starting the next day, shower normal once a day and keep a very light coat of the cocoa butter on 24/7 for the first 4 or 5 days, once it starts peeling & itching after the first 4 or 5 days I start using the fragrance free Lubriderm. . .

I would have done the same thing in calling :)

thank you for calling the SPCA

is there a day and time and place for a LST meetup at the convention ? I might go this year , so you all may have the pleasure of meeting me ! LOL saturday is a good day for me.

I have many tattoos all over my body,the least painful place for me has strangely enough been my neck. go figure.

I say bring on the stares,I like the attention,I like when people look at my tattoos,I get stares,and like Colored guy said,I get a lot of people turning their heads,as if I am a serial axe murderer and I will get 'em if they look ! LOL

I got a large one in March on Kauai with Sam Shaw at Kulture Tattoo Kollective. The island of Kaua'i, Hawai'i ,and I had a first session in grass valley with Alycia Harr on aug 24th , Sacramento Tattoo Artist Alycia Harr Presents :: Sacred Temple Tattoos second session sept 14th and while in the chair getting tattooed I am always thinking of my next tattoo !

good for you,I have a similar issue with myself and my job of 20 years,and this graphic a friend sent me makes sense right now for me.

I had a great experience getting a tattoo at a show,I had a 9 hour one shot done, if the artist is good and reputable they will use all the same sanitary and clean procedures as they would in a shop ,so IMO it's not an issue, I know many people that have had tattoos done at shows and have had really great experiences and great tattoos !

my real first name was taken,and most of the ones with my real name in it are usually taken, and I have been known to have a certain amount of flatulence ,mostly after eating poultry or potatoes,chili does it too. LOL no deep meaning,just thought I would have some fun with it. :D

I did not know what my my side/rib/hip tattoo was going to be until I met with the artist at the show,a couple years ago, and I had a first session yesterday on my arm/shoulder,I told the artist that I liked water lilies and skulls and told her she could do whatever she wanted with those basic elements,she loved it,I consulted with her a week ago and when she showed me the drawing,I was blown away and told her I love it and to do it that way,and IMO this tattoo is going to be amazing !

I am going for my first session on my right arm/shoulder with Alycia Harr tomorrow (08/24),excited to see what she has for me.

not real fond of pocket watch tattoos,like was said,kinda too trendy IMO.

since it was a couple hours,it should be fine IMO,if it starts to build up fluid under the tagaderm then just remove it and wash with anti-microbial soap and apply an new sheet as soon as you can when you land.

not sure what "pimp up" means,but on that large and intricate of a tattoo,it's going to be hard to fix it,add to it, or cover it up.

yep ! that has happened to me and has always healed and gone away.

thanks very much ! they gave me a day off paid on that day and 3 gift cards,that's it. :)

do you mean like a red sore line ? because that will all go away in a few days. I get that too with the Saniderm and it's not an allergic reaction IMO,it's just what it does and like I said,it always goes away on me.
