Oooooh that would suck lol. Fair play to the guy though, handled it like a pro!

I did exactly this with much first tattoo but found bepanthen to be too thick to rub in on my latest one without rubbing at the scabs so i switched to an unscented lotion when it started to scab.

Second one is vile! Fifth one down is best!

I live in the middle of the UK so im lucky enough to be within a few hours of anywhere in the country and theres nowhere I would consider too far in this country to travel for a tattoo! Most artists worth travelling for will have huge waiting lists anyway which gives you plenty of time to save for a hotel if you dont want to drive back after!

Welcome mate.

Got any ink or just looking for ideas?

I’m with peterpoose on this one. Think the symbolism is personal enough with your idea that the lettering certainly isn’t needed from your point of view, and those close enough to you will know what its for, so why mark your skin for the benefit of strangers?

Sounds like a great idea though and I’d like to see when its done!
