Tattoos

yep, thats bepanthan working a treat. tattoo's always fade. if its that healed i'd say knock yourself out in the hot tub.

Sounds like you've healed nicely. Well done. If it doesn't appear to be drying around the edges without it and it isn't shiny, you should be ok to stop using it. Same goes for soaking it for long periods.

So, let me repeat: Do not ride your bike vigorously for few days after getting a fresh tattoo in the Summer!
It's worse than a sauna and a hot bath combined.

Thanks guys. Great news. It's stopped flaking post shower so I guess I'm healed.

I know about the sweat vibe post inking. I had three more days of messengering before I had to take time off to help my sick dad. Inky looking sweat poured down my leg which I had wrapped in cling film for the 1st two days to prevent london dirt getting in. Still looks pretty vibrant though.
