yep fairly minimal.. im being very gentle with the wash.. and gentle as possible when using the ointment..
thanks for all the replies.

hi bodyart, if your looking for a product, why not just do a search or start a new thread instead of hijacking this one?

Thanks again for the info!

have decided to definitely stop swimming for probs 6-8wks after getting the tattoo.. this really messes up my schedule.. because iam booked in for late march.. then again late april, and every 2wks after that… so looks like i wont be swimming for a LONG time once i start in March..

I guess i can still go cycling and running… but very concious about the sweating part… for cycling.. i sweat heaps once i stop cycling (no more wind to blow it dry)… more or less same with running.. but i will probably have to wait until i finish the work before i can pick this up again due to short space betwen each session..

Thanks again!

edit: just realised.. thats almost 3 months out of 2010 schedule.. holy crap !!!

would LOVE a full sleeve.. however getting will be difficult.
