My First Tattoo

[Candleflames]

Congrats on your new art. I started falling asleep when I got my first one done too. Glad you had a positive experience.

@Momofthree once you start it becomes very additive. I will have this one finished then start paying for my next one, I want a chest plate with an angel cradling a group of six children that represent my kids, the angel representing me looking over them from afar. then the words "your father loves you" underneath in latin - the whole plate making a love heart........ duh soppy old laurie lol

Oh yeah and are we going to get to view it, I bet it looks really great :)

@KwanYingirl Me too, my forearm scroll as in my avatar has taken so long because my tatooist has used shading to cover as many as he can, he has done a fantastic job :) so I def get the similarity with cutting

@Santa_Laurie i need more work done too. Is yours a scroll with names on it?

 

[Deleted member 20280]

Yes @KwanYingirl . It is a scroll with the six names of my children.

Here they are! Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday like I said I would. I'm vary happy with them <3

OW they look sore, I know just how sore a tattoo can be on the wrist as well, **Laurie offers some Bepanthen cream to sooth and moisturize the tattoo's :D

 

[Momofthree]

That was right after they were done, they really weren't that sore, and they aren't sore now. They feel like a healing razor blade cut to be honest. I've been cleaning them with witch hazel and putting ointment on them when they itch or feel tight.

Tattoo aftercare in the Uk is to wash in warm soapy water twice a day and use Nappy Rash Cream 4 times a day. My forearm has still not scabbed after 3 days :).

Bepanthem is the best for tattoos. They look awesome! Great location too.

I'm glad the tattooing went great and they aren't that sore! When I came out with mine, I had fainted once and was tripping from all the colors I was seeing. Not very much tattoo-hardened I guess :sorry:

They look awesome!
