Tattoos

My forefathers would hang their fishy heads in shame.

Yeah, he said about 100 are done or booked in.

It's random so you can't request anything specific.
He also wasn't keen on anyone saying no, unless they already had that tattoo.

He occasionally posts a picture of the 151 with what's left.
Eevee and all the eeveelutions are still available, id have been stoked for any of those.

Pretty pleased with Mew though

I suggested charging an another £20 for a reroll.

Gotta ink em all

Think I'd have to reroll if I got Jynx

Same.
It's sort of unavailable.

2 guys were booked in but one was a no show. So the tattooist (@kodeart on Insta) took out the next ball, so if he comes back he is getting Jinx.

He did offer it to me, if I really wanted it.

Must resist a trip just for a pokemon tattoo. Cost more in transport than the ink.

Dredging the eternal debate on healing.

The tattooist recommended letting it air dry in this heat. Keeping it wrapped encourages sweating, so told me to leave it exposed to the elements.
Baby wipes to keep it clean, and I have been applying Sudocrem since Saturday night.
Am wrapping it in cling over night to keep my sheets from bearing the design.

So far so good. Waiting for the proper scabfest to start though.

Sudocrem isn't really recomended any more. Palmers coco butter was the stuff I was told to use last time. But saying that I did use Sudocrem even after the ingredient update and it still came out fine.

I’ll just stick with the advice I’ve heard time and time again - just use whatever works for you, and if in doubt use anything you can get your hands on.
I’ve got psoriasis so heal pretty slow(average is about 2-3months for me to heal a tattoo), I think people itching, getting it out in the sun or other avoidable issues is a bigger problem than what specific brand of goop you slap on it.
I’ve heard good things about Stories & Ink branded stuff but then my mate is sponsored by them(and did their artwork recently) so she’s a bit biased lol.

My partner is in with @slowpokes_ on Friday and I’m getting a gap filler from @jessica_rubbish next monday. Super excited, love her work but not got enough space left for anything sizeable on my arms but can always squeeze a filler in.

I also wondered where and was then disappointed.

Has anyone any recommends (apart from kids love ink/king of hearts) for a simple straight black line to cover up a “my first tattoo in 1998, because going on holiday and seeing so many people with watches and symbolic tattoos makes me want to puke” without making me look like some sort of fucking fascist?

Struggling to imagine the cover up, but @offlinetattoos does really good modern geo/line work stuff. A handy cyclist too

Dharma is a good old fashioned high street shop that are happy to do stuff like that.

My partners piece from yesterday. Obvs the full extent is nsfw but you get the idea.

Needs pics.

But also, is there not something quite nostalgic about keeping your first tattoo?

I'm a big Justin Berber fan too.

did lol

Great, thanks! will look at them as well as the usual candidates.

Not to take away from that being a great looking tattoo.

Make shit, get paid. #ratcashgang
Small tattoo on wrist was surprisingly painful, was super quick so guess I didn’t have time to ease into it.
Old Habits is a cool shop, hadn’t been before. @jessica_rubbish was awesome and hilarious.

Ta. Shading was done this afternoon but had main work has healed really nicely, was my first one so wasn’t sure what to expect. Enjoyed the high from both sessions.
