We all know Peter, Pox, and other people have had back to back tattoos (open wounds) and not died.
So I have a bit of a situation. I have some stretchmarks I want covered with some pretty dark blue flowers. I want them healed by mid-November come hell or high water. I just had a tattoo done on Friday. It’s doing well. Done peeling for the most part. Doing well. Nice dry-healing.
Look, I know I should wait six weeks. But I really this done and need it lookin’ good down there. Don’t make me explain except I have some stretchmarks from puberty and I don’t want to relive any childhood trauma at this upcoming time. Advice! How long should I wait? How long before I do it? My artist had a big art show (he paints) this weekend and hasn’t returned my email. I’ll ring him this Friday if I hear nothing. I really want to be lookin’ cute for this. I need help.
We’re going from left side/hip to both inner thighs. I’m told the inner thighs will hurt less. (I guess they’re supposed to take a little damage based on our past savagery of mating.)
I just had the tiger done on the hip, and now I want some dark blue flowers to make it all inviting down there for someone.

It will be okay. Just take a bullet to bite on!
If getting tattooed in the exact same spot, you need to let it rest for a little bit. Usually three weeks is plenty. (f.ex if you do lines + shading one session, color another..)
But different spots? Whenever you feel up for it. I see no reason whatsoever to do six weeks between different tattoos..
Except maybe if it’s been a 12 hour session and you’ve been feeling sick or gotten an infection or something like that. As long as you are feeling good and don’t have any kind of infection in your body, go for it 🙂

Uhh. You can get tattooed as often as you like. Lol. Its your body.
I had some stretch marks tattooed over on my bicep and it looked rough for a while. The stretch marks actually swell. But once its all healed you won’t be able to see them.
I meant in terms of standard infection control, and the healing process, ya Ding Dong. SILENCE! :p

I’ve always tried to use medicine’s overcautious rules, but at this point, I am not immunocompromised. I can’t wait to get this tattoo done!

Put a condom over the machine.

Baby, I always don my PPE before I get down.
Ryan sent me a text (waking me up, along with a wailing cat whose blanket had slipped off her body) and he said we can do it this month. He has really good anatomical and infectious disease knowledge for a tattoo artist (not downing most, but his knowledge is superior), and I’ll call him Friday and set up a date. 🙂 I’m so excited! I really want this to be looking good by mid November.
If you’re getting tatttooed in the same area, 2 weeks is just about right. 6 weeks is far, far more than needed. I’ve done that in the neighborhood of a dozen times, and I’ve never had any problems. No scarring, my tattoos are like glass. Every tattoo artist I’ve ever personally met has suggested 2 weeks, and that’s been borne out by my own experience.
If it’s on a different area, shit, you can start pretty much immediately. It’s all honestly up to your own pain tolerance.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
