            Owl + pyramid is super dope! I used to live in a punk house called The Owl Barn. What's the idea behind the piece Rafa?

                well what to say nathan! I wanted a tattoo for pretty long now (10years if I'm not mistaken!) but I never could "force" myself to get one cuz I really didn't know what and where!
                now after i made up my mind to get one and knowing that I'll become a construction engineer pretty soon I actually wanted my upper sleeve done. that spot wasn't really a good one though since one could always see the tattoo when wearing just a t and that really isn't an option when working in an office later on. so the only spot was the chest, since it's easy to cover up when at work and all…

                thanks a lot gentlemen!

                  Amazing, Raf.

                  It's been four years since I was last inked–at least. I want to go big next time. I'm thinking half chest into a 3/4 sleeve with, hopefully, a consistent theme.

                        so today is the first day without the foil over my tattoo. cleaned and creamed it this morning and now i´m wearing a simple t over it…how are you guys care for your tattoo after the first few days? should i prevent it from soap while showering or what do you guys pay attention to?

                          Gentle soaping, pat dry and then a thin coat of moisturiser (if at all) for a couple days then nothing for me personally.

                            I always clean very well with fragrance free soap and water don't rub hard its ok to wash just don't get it saturated. Pat dry, don't scratch it and use a skin healing ointment the 1st week. After that fragrance and dye free moisturizer 3 times a day if possible. I like Aveeno.

                              Finn mate awesome first ink, Looks beautiful and impressive chest. Myself, I do not care that much just shower with pH neutral soap and cream three times a day a tiny bit with bepathen plus (the one for tattoos you may ask in your pharmacie). Just do not scratch on it doesnt matter how much it itches. Cool it a bit with a wet towel if necessary and let it breath as much as possible. With ur chest shouldnt be a prob man 😉

                                Yup, the most basic soap you can find (we like Dial, fragrance free) and then Aquaphor

                                Just remember to use as little as possible. Enough to make your skin shiny, nothing more

                                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                  The worst part I find actually is the hair growing back from where they shaved it. Drives me nuts.

                                    well all i did till today is that i´ve renewed the foil two times a day, in the morning and before going to bed. i´ve cleaned the tattoo with luke-warm water per hand, after removing the foil, patted it dry and then used a skin healing ointment and put on a new layer of foil.

                                    did the same thing today without adding the foil…think i´m gonna clean it with fragrance free soap this evening and then thread it with skin healing ointment till the end of week one, which is friday...

                                    you guys are d´accord?

                                      Did you receive Skin healing product from your artist or he recommended it? Sounds great To me, important is you feel fine just do not moisture too much

                                        thanks buddy and i really love it…somehow still a bit odd since my chest was "clean" for 25years now and now i´m going to have something on it for the rest of my life 😛
                                        and yeah, i use Panthenol from Liechtenstein...it´s the same as Bepanthen just a bit easier spread. and yeah, the itching was bad yesterday, since it got a bit warm under the foil but now i´m cool with it...hope it isn´t getting worse though 😛

                                        "breath as much as possible"...topless through the day, well more through the house that is, right? 🙂

                                          well i´ve copped the same cream he used on me before putting the foil on my chest. like stated above it´s the same as Bepanthen, just from Liechtenstein, which is easier to spread he said!
