What is the deal with the UK artists and thier “clingfilm”? Do you not realize that clingfilm used to cover fresh tattoos is a bad idea.

I find people who have the same ‘issue’ as you need to keep their work covered for MUCH longer. I recomend 7 days. clean in the morning add your normal ointment, and then again in the eve. keeping it covered with clingfilm… blah blah blah. stay out of the sun. and the pool.
Nice guns btw, you made this girl very happy.

In my younger days. (oh to be young again) A friend of mine requested a tattoo over strech marks… the skin did not take too well to being tattooe’d and I had to colour the whole thing with an outline… Depends on how bad it is tho. 🙂

I agree 3 days is fine… (as allot of people can’t be btohered with the whole 7 days they tend to stop then) reverse psycology 😉
Again din’t see much difference between using the two. AfterCare is way more conviniet to carry in a bag and wont attack you eveytime you open the lid…
Mind you my clients keep getting bepanthen (hearts) me baby…[Read more]

Also the reason why im not dying to get a place in a store is most men (you guys pra-rooved it!) are cocks.
Instead of healping people learn they just blast them!nicer pointers would have been nice. what you should I do to make it more ‘acceptable’ by your standards. and not to just assume I am a certain age and a certain classification. I have…[Read more]
