Ha ha ha Skunk i think yours is just a little bit bigger than Mooseys one.

Ouzo did your tongue ring hurt???? I've only got my ears and belly done but i thought my ears hurt more than the belly.

Simone I'm not big on pain so I got it done at a piercing doc who gives local anaesthetics :lol:. Plus when you have a local they can take their time piercing and make sure they don't hit that thingy in the middle underneath. It was only $70 including piercing, local and 2 bars (one for when it's swollen and one for when it goes back to normal size) but that was about 7 years ago now. I actually found it really hard to put up with at first and almost took it out...it felt like I had something like a lolly on my tongue but I couldnt move it. And it was really hard to eat (it took me half an hour to eat less than half a slice of bread) just cos you have to get used to this "thing" there lol. So I lived off lemonade icy poles at school and lost a bit of weight but these days I don't even know it's there

Skunk that looks cool!

Oh and Nick, it's not just the foot, it's the whole damn leg you beast :twisted:

Hey Zoe how have you been? I thought your first was going to be a snake on your foot? lol.....Well as you know I have well.....Let's say more then one tatt and I have never covered any of mine and never had any problems with them. I only used bepanthen for three or so days.. Don't get it sun burnt and stay out of the saltwater. The lumpiness is normal it just means it is starting to scab up which is also normal. Don't pick it as that will make the colour fall out. After say about a week just start using normal moisturiser. Don't cover it especially with cling wrap. Never heard that one before and my brother is a tattooist just leave it uncovered so it can heal. Basically treat it in the same manner you would any injury such as Gravel rash...Don't know if I told yoyu but I finally got my hands done to.

 

[raptor]

Fresh one.

Looks great Bites in there eh

 

[hall91]

pro tatt seems to work good

 

[AGAMIDAE]

I have a full sleeve done on the right arm, Bepanthen is the best all I was told to do is put it on 30 after you have had a shower...

 

[skunk]

raptor, my work was done by Andrew Ackroyd at fox body art.
very happy with the way it turned out.

 

[apalme08]

hey hey
don't 'air it' i.e let it dry. bepanthen it heaps, as in, whenever you think of it. for at least two weeks but preferably til it's 'healed and peeled'.
and if you cn avoid wearing clothing over it, that's good coz it doesn't rub the cream off or further irritate the healing area.
and apart from the bepanthen therapy...DON"T TOUCH IT but you prob know that!!

problem with getting your first tattoo is, one is never enough. you'll soon want a second, then a third......

 

[alby]

[salebrosus]

[Crocboy]

Raptor,

Mate like you wouldnt believe. Felt like a knife getting dragged through there. The problem is thats a small part of the whole tattoo. The rest goes up under the bicep!!! I'll get the rest done in a few weeks.

 

[alby]

a please would have been nice lol and i have one in my nipple and its too cold to get it out hahaha

 

[salebrosus]

He he he thats what i thought Crocboy when the needle went across my spine. Closer to my butt though it tickled like crazy.

Simone.

 

[salebrosus]

Oh Alby you Tease!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please show us the nipple ring? Its not like you have to worry about shrinkage

Simone

 

[Crocboy]

I can believe you can get numbing cream now. Whats the point! No pain no gain.

 

[alby]

Oh Alby you Tease!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please show us the nipple ring? Its not like you have to worry about shrinkage

Simone

[Stevethepom]

hey folks, just saw the thread and thought i`d throw a bit of stuff in to,

ive been doing tattoos now for about 18 months, and as far as the proccess goes....

the ink goes into the second and last layers of skin, for it to heal air is a must otherwise it wont, the cream you apply be it bepanthen, anticeptic, vaseline or plain old vegie oil it doesnt matter, its primary function is to stop it drying out and scabbing, scabs are a tattoos worst enemy, the deeper the scab the more colour/ink it`ll take with it when it heals, hence you try to stop it scabbing, i have about 30 tattoos on meself now and i vary rarely put cream on them, but purely through laziness and as a result i have varying degrees of ink fall out (with the scab as it were) but i just colour it in again seens as i do it meself etc....so....put cream on it, try not to let em scab, if they do, dont pick it, if it itches slap it...lol sounds silly but it works....and for gawds sake dont use savalon, it can force your body to create antibodies in the tattooed area that your body normaly wouldnt which thus makes your body pump out plasma (blood without red blood cells) which is designed primarily to push out the foreign material ie the ink from the tattoo.

damn i sound like an pushy idiot huh... ah well....done some coverups for people on tattoos where most of the ink has fallen out.....and most tattooists nowadays have a clause whereby, you dont look after it, we aint fixing it...

anyhow, cheers and more tattoos of reptiles people, and not just little bloody geckos (sick of seeing them everywhere)

cheers
STP
