Just get a new one all together! Is there any other location you would want a tattoo??

[hurley97]

I agree with Amy. if you're happy with the way it is and you add to it you run the risk of regretting what you added and wishing you had just left it nice and simple

...a-a-a-and, several months later (see page 3).

i'm finally getting it done. upper forearm. tomorrow at 4:30, it's going down in chinatown. well, rochester.

i just finished the final drawing a few minutes ago....the nickel is for size comparison.



i'm stoked and nervous at the same time......first tattoo.

i guess we'll see how it goes.

[m0dd3d1]

Where's that going? Arm band?

[uberschall]

^ yep, top of my forearm.

[uberschall]

there you have it folks. progress. i was reduced to a camera phone shot, i'll get better ones later.

ps. that hardly hurt at all. i don't see what the big deal is!

[Valo666]

the pain thing all depends on where you get it. You got it on an area with lots of meet. Try gettin one in a really tender area or an area with bone.

But the tat looks good man. now just take care of it.

[shin]

looks good. now ya gotta get lotion for it. wash it with warm water. don't scratch it when it's itchy. and SHAVE YOUR HAND lol. looks funny with a portion of it bald.

[uberschall]

i slept with the bandage on last night, and i've been using the vitamin a & d ointment they gave me at the shop. it's looking pretty good so far, here's a better picture...but still with my phone.



is there a particular lotion you guys have used that you could recommend? i'm supposed to use the ointment for another couple of days and then switch to regular lotion.

edit: oh, and shin...i am NOT gonna start shaving to even things out. first it's the rest of one arm...then the other one to keep things even, and so on!

Tattoo Goo is awesome so is this stuff called TatWax. I hate A&D only b/c it's waaay too oily and smeels gross. When you use Tattoo Goo or TatWax it's used instead of using a A&D/Lotion treatment (usually you're supposed to use A&D first and then Lotion, to make the color come out and protect the skin once it's healed, but with the other stuff, there's no need). Anyways, here's an old (only about a few months) pic of my chest piece. Disreguard my non-muscular chest! Also, the picture is backwards and hadn't been touched up at all. It was after 4 hours. Oooh, the sternum is a b1tch!

PS- I'm really diggin' the arm band uberschall, try gettin' a tat on your or near your achilles tendon, or on your sternum like either one of mine, that's definitely a good pain right there!

^cool.

one of my buddies got a tattoo on his chest...said it's the worst pain he's ever felt.

i've got to get some more muscle mass before i get a chest piece...i don't want to distort it.

mine's peeling atm, i'm switching to regular lotion i guess.

[Valo666]

im gonna b probably going to get my new one in about 2 weeks time. Im not gonna be having much of a summer, so i figure this would b a good time to get it, as im in school 40 hours a week

Yeah, more muscle mass on your chest is a good thing. My artist was really harsh with me b/c at the time I was really flabby, so the skin had to be stretched out which was just more work for him. And the sternum felt horrible. Also, he'd get close to the nipples, felt like he was literally trying to cut them off with a knife! Crazy feeling.
