I’m peeling at the moment, I forgot how much I bloody hate the healing process! 😡
The Black Cat stuff is better than Bepanthen in my opinion, after using both. The one I got given is only in the small circular tub, not sure if it’s quite large enough. Half my tattoo has peeled and is looking real bright, and the other half is a thick scab.
When does everyone else decide to stop using cream on their tatt?

The small round tub was easily enough for my forearm. I still have well over 1/4 of the tub left, you really don’t need a lot of it to do the job, the lotion I wasn’t as keen on if I’m honest, i really peeled much more than the two previous times, not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing? I didn’t really get any scabbing.
As for stopping using the lotion, I’ve stopped for a few days when i finished the bottle off. I did order some more but saving that for after the next session. I would def use it over bephanthan anyday, really love the smell of the salve and it just goes on so easy.
How big was your tattoo Joker? I would have thought there should have been enough in one tub?
We managed to get wrist to elbow mostly outlined, all the way around, and a rather large skull shaded in bright greens, with reddish-yellowish teeth. I was putting it on three times a day, and the tatt will be a week old tomorrow. Maybe I was using a bit much, I’ve got a cobweb on my elbow too, and ended up smearing the whole thing, even though it’s not coloured in yet.
It probably won’t effect the tattoo now anyway, but i’ll check some local shops and see if any of them have more Black Cat stuff, which i’ll save for next session.
It was a small tub, a bit larger than a 50c coin (not sure of the English equivalent).
The tub i got was approx 2″ across and say 1/2″ deep ?
Yeah… Shame they don’t do a larger tub, but I think they have it worked out so you need to buy a new kit for each tattoo, still it’s a reasonable price to buy – must admit I’ve been tempted to buy the 24x studio pack as I’m guessing I’m gonna need loads of this stuff by the time I’m finished!! 😮
Wow.. thanx guys for all the nice comments, nice to know you all like it!
Showed my father yesterday for the 1st time and he said “It’s Hideous”
followed by “I thought the days of you getting tattooed where behind you”
little does he know huh! :rolleyes:
Anyway roll on Tuesday.. when I start my left forearm
Hey joker it’s gonna be a dragon, not sure of the design as they are drawing something up for me, but I’m hoping something along the lines of this below, that’s what I told them I would like anyway, in
either the blue or purple, which ever works best – going for 3 hr sessions this time as 4 x2 hr sessions as with the dragon koi just seemed to take forever!
And here is the offending tattoo it’s going to cover (Hopefully) 😎
Freaking amazing cover-up you got there!!! Looks awsome.
And about the whole mess with appointments; That happens. As long as there is more than one person working in a studio, something will always get messed up from time to time. One time I got tattooed, I had to wait for an hour or two because the woman who went in before me had gotten there waaay late for her appointment, and she kept complaining about the pain so it took forever. It sucks, but it happens.
And a dragon on your other arm will look great with the one you’ve already got 🙂 Will look pretty sweet if you’re wearing a t-shirt!! 🙂
