      if it feels dry and tight before bed, cream it, otherwise in the morning is fine. You will notice soon what YOU need.

      As Doug said, treat it like a wound, which it actually is.

        Clint's advice is good advice, but you also have to keep in mind of your skin type and where you are right now. My skin is naturally very dry and my tattoo artist is in Las Vegas (desert). If I waited even a day, my tattoo would dry out to the point where it would be painful

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

            Sorry, too funny.  But he's right…listen to your body and don't over think it.  Your body wants to and will heal itself, you're just creating the conditions to make it a bit easier and more comfortable. 
            Enjoy!
            (And well done for going big on #1...nice foresight)

              after reading it twice it actually is funny as hell 😃

              thanks for your input though Kat. since you're a pro and really know what's going on, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us and thanks for the words as well…do lets see where this is going to end 😉

              atm I have to say that I'm somehow not really sure anymore if I should fill/darken the hole piece though...looks great as is imo but I think it also is going to look badass when the shadows are done...opinions?

                    Will look on a different level when it's shaded.

                      You may enjoy it some weeks as it is now and then get the shadowing and take it further from there with filling. But I am sure your Artist will blow you away with his work.

                          well the next session we made for adding the shadows and all is on 22.12. so still a month to go with just the outlines…should be enough to think it over (read: to enjoy them outlines till they get filled!)...

                          not bitching around at all, just wanted to share some thoughts mate.
                          but you guys are right…getting the shit done no matter what, basta!

                            Haaaaaa!!!! I was thinking it too. It will always look half done otherwise. You'll get through it and for me shading is always more comfortable than line work. Going to look awesome coloured in.

                            Doing more shading on my dragons on friday, pictures saturday.

                                  oh okay but anyway, a pic of the finished art would be very much appreciated mate. 😉
