do they hurt on the shoulder area on the arm?

also do they hurt badly after?

 

Not really. Though it can vary with where you get them. Shin hurts, as does indside of the lips...

Like a cut or scratch really until they heal fully.

 

ive got loads mate.shoulder area wasnt too bad.as long as you keep it topped up with savlon etc it isnt too sore after it.its a few days later when it scabs over i find them itchy as hell and you have to try no scratch them.

 

i have one on my calf steve and i was in bits getting it done.could hardly bare it

 

plan on getting 1 on my right shoulder at end of the month i'll tell you then

going for the air jordan tattoo

 

see where the "j" tatoo is, thats where im getting it there, does it hurt there?

 

I was watching when my brother came in for his, it went right down onto his achillies tendon, his foot was twitching uncontrollably and he was screaming

Funniest tattoo Ive seen being done. Apart from me doing my own after some beers

 

No

 

heres one of my arms that i had on my photobucket.sorest place was either calf or across my collar bone.i could here the machine get lower in tone as it went across my bone

 

Liking them Steve

Who does your work?

 

a local place to me called body art but im going to try a place in glasgow called irezumi.put that in google as theres a website and his work is amazing.just done a half sleave for a guy at work and its awesome.

 

DONT USE SAVLON!!! Go to the chemist/tesco and buy a tube of Bepanthan. It's a baby nappy rash cream and will stop your tattoo from scabbing over. Generally a tattoo thats covered in this will heal in 3 - 4 days

 

you must be like wolverine as ive never has a tatto heal in 3-4 days.it doesnt start to scab up till 2 days later.even with bepanthan.

 

I've used this the last 3 times I've been and each time it's healed in 4 days max

 

cool.everybodys different.good stuff it is tho.

 

Looks class mate! Im learning how to do my own at the minute, have a few mates who do it for a living that are teaching me, might be doing some of my own tats again soon, but properly this time

 

I'm going back to get my sleeve finnished at 5 o clock. Gonna get it done in glow in the dark ink!!! looks mad as fuck the wife has just had her hand done in it!

 

YES MATE

Im having some of that in mine!!





All the best with yours

 

theres a dude on the net was looking for a pic earlier thats had is arm done like the dudes from TRON looks mint lol

 

I fucking love this

 

I use Bepanthen on my tattoo's, works a treat, I usually heal in about 5 - 6 days.

 

cheers rudey.got both arms covered.my hand.neck.chest and left leg with bits on them.havent had any in ages as my tattoo guy broje his collar bone falling off a bike

 

Its agony, you'll probably pass out and quite possibly die from shock trauma....


Seriously Man Up mate! Its no worse than sticking a pin in your arm..

As for after care, Preperation H is the bollocks, its the shark oil in it that helps stopall the itching and helps keep the colours mega bright, just make sure if you ask someone else to pick it up for you they know to get the cream, my Mum brought a load of suppositries by mistake once when i asked er lol

Liking the mechanical arm, was that done by Chris Ackroyd by any chance?

 

bang Chameleon Blacklight Tattoo Ink on youtube looks pritty cool

 

That's the only advice you need!

Don't use anything else and only apply a VERY THIN and even layer, otherwise it'll clog your pores and cause infection.

I wouldn't say it will heal completely in 3-4 days. More like ten days to 2 weeks, but it'll only take a few days to scab over nice and cleanly

 

Shoulder doesnt hurt! I recently had one done from the top of my ribs to half way down my leg! And down my side hurt like a bitch i had to be pinned down as i kept twitching Done 3 1/2 hours so far just got to go back get the bottom half colored now about about 1h30 to go!

Can't be that bad or I wouldn't keep going back for more

I have always used savlon, as thats what my tattooist recommends and all of mine have healed perfect! Had 1h 30 of coloring done last friday and its scabbed come of an healed perfect now and its not even been 2 weeks!

 

Here ya go Scott take a butchers quick before a change my mind and remove the link lol

I've just come back after having another 2 hrs done

 

about another 4 hrs to go yet tho.

 

All the pinks on mine glo under ultra violet light, should look a bit mad in the nightclub!

 

Theres a place here in brum who do tatoos, the guy has no pictures at all for refrence as he will only work with you on your own ideas, my mate has a mechanical heart on his chest by him , the art work is simply stunning, detail like the arm steveh has posted up, my tatoos diddnt hurt, it was the fecking buzzing that did my head in!!

 

i just booked another session, gonna go from neck to chest and top of my arm, the blokes drawing it up at the moment, recons it gonna take 10 hours !!!!

should look sort of like this

but will be over my shoulder too if that makes sence and wont have a dogs paw either

 

Tattoos are just far too addictive!!

im going for my first tattoo REMOVAL session next thursday! now THAT is gonna hurt!

 

My brothers dont scab when he uses bepanthen and he has quite a few tattoo's. They stay moist and then seem to heal, without scabbing at all, and they stay very vivid.

Adam who does your tattoo's? Theyre as colourful as my bro's, Paul Egan does his
