      Yeah, looks cool. Congrats! Looks painful? Two weeks till my first session, I'm getting a bit scared 🙂 Not because of the pain, but wether I like the outcome and because it's forever….

                  When I got my first (and only) tattoo, I stared at it endlessly

                  It's been almost a year, I forget its there most of the time (and it's hard to miss, it's right on my chest)

                  I def do not regret getting my ink, and I'm getting my second one this summer

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

                    My second will be a half (maybe 3/4) sleeve of a koi with background by the guy that did this koi

                        that's probably like the fiercest looking koi tattoo i've ever seen lol.

                              A little question to the experts: Is it really necessary to avoid sports for three weeks after getting tattooed? I've been sick for 2 weeks now and am desperate to get healthy again and play football and do some workout. What could be the possible effects of doing sports, let's say 1 week after the session?

                                I worked out a day or two after my tattoo…

                                Both my fiancee and tattoo artist said the same thing: treat it as a wound. Keep it clean, don't let it dry out. Use antibacterial soap a few times a day for the first three days, then follow my usual routine (usually twice a day) after that with the antibacterial soap for another two weeks after that. I used a higher end non scented lotion to keep it from drying out and forming a scab

                                The other thing they told me specific to the tattoo was to stay out of pools and hot tubs because of the chlorine and don't let it get exposed to sunlight or else it'll get washed out (I was on vacation in Vegas)

                                I asked Cornfed if I should follow some advice that I shouldn't wash it for a couple days and he flipped his shit on me and nearly cracked me one.

                                    Thanks Doug!
                                    That's what my artist told me too - keep it moist, prevent cracking of the "wound", don't expose sunlight or chlorine. Makes sense to me, but avoid sport? Dunno, I'll talk to her once it's done. All in all, 3 weeks should be enough to fully heal up, no?

                                      I'd use aquaphor for the first 2-3 days to keep it from cracking, then after that start using a non-scented lotion (I use Lubriderm Sensitive, it has no fragrance or anything like that)
                                      I used aquaphor for all 3 sessions on my side and barely had any scabbing or itching,

                                      Also, it takes about 2-3 weeks for it to heal, but actually takes a few months for a new layer of skin to actually grow back, from what I understand.

                                      I wouldn't work out for a few days, depending where your tattoo is/how sore you are.

                                      I was told to wait a few hours to shower after each session, just to let the ink set in a bit, after that just
                                      wash regularly!
