Hi folks,
I am new here and as the thread title says I am, well was a tattoo virgin until last week. This is my first tattoo and the start of a full back piece.
I have a couple of questions.
I have been using bep for the last few days since the tat. It has peeled and seems like it has healed already.
Do i continue to use bep or should i now start using a moisturiser as it just feels pretty dry and itchy now.
If a moisturiser is now to be used, any recommendations or what ingredients i should look for?
Thanks all
awesome Victor ‘s work is incredible, yes stop the bep, use a non fragrance, lotion like lubriderm (US), keep coats very light, very thin, congrats on your new piece
Many thanks, yes he’s a very talented guy. I am in the UK, what should i make sure the moisturiser shouldn’t have?
Cheers
this piece is awesome! you say its starts of a full back piece, what else are you adding to it? im not usually a huge fan of these types of pieves but i have to give props where props are due, this is a beautiful tattoo, congrats!
i tend to use bep for about 3-5 days to be sure and then i use dove but that’s because dove is the only moisturiser that i can use that i know im not allergic to so i dont know if that’s necessarily the best one for everyone else! lol x
Thank you.
I can upload some pictures and ideas if you like that i have for the rest but victor will do it his way. They would be just rough pictures i like.
Can post some tomorrow see what you think.
Il will get some fragrance free moisturiser.
God damn its so itchy while typing this, it would be heaven to scratch now lol
dont scratch! lol perfect the new tattoo slap! lol x
def wanna see the ideas you got going on 🙂 x
Hmmmm lol the tattoo slap sounds good!
I will upload some stuff tomorrow, not sure if this thread should be moved then as i now have my answers for moisturiser and slap techniques.
Get a soft rubber kinda spatula thing, and use that to slap yourself lightly. Supposed to be awesome 🙂
Lol i will try that!
Is this the stuff i need to get…
Oh wow, that is awesome! I can’t wait to see it when it is finished! Welcome to the forum. :):):)
At least you’re starting small and working your way up. 🙂
DAMN! How do you follow-up a Victor Portugal backpiece?
Well, I guess you still have your whole front.
That looks amazing.
The main with any moisturizing lotion is to get one that id fragrance free. (That’s what everyone has told me)…and it’s worked well.
Congratulations on an amazing loss of your virginity.
it it meant to be Jesus? I’m not religious myself but holy crap that’s a nice piece!
sick tattoo! been a fan of victors for a while.
Thanks all for the nice comments! And thanks for the warm welcome to forums!
Ok as promised here goes my madness lol
These pictures are only some pics i like and I’m sure victor will do his own thing and probably tell me i need a bigger back with all these pics lol
Pics are from my bum and upwards to the jesus tat.
Starting with my bum a picture of hell
Then a picture of these eyes victor does so well somewhere in the hell section lol
Then maybe something like this separating the good from the bad at my waist
The maybe this somewhere trying to be pulled into the hell section..
Not sure about the hands but i like them lol
Then something like this for the calm…..
And finally this up the side and top by the jesus.
I think i need king kongs back to fit all that on and I’m sure alot of it doesn’t fit together, its just some ideas.
I have 3 more artists i want work done by before i retire lol
Robert hernandez
Dimitry Samohin
Den Yakovlev
I did alot of research on artists and the more i do the more wonderful artists i see, so many great artists about. I can see how people run out of skin lol
Anyhows thanks
