Jokes aside. ..it is slightly off centre because my left implant dropped due to the radiation. ....I'm lopsided

Awww....I'm feeling da love

(Do I risk being called a cheap whore and alcohoic again?) Mmmmmm
 
Consultation went well. Artist understands what I want and will send through a few designs today and tomorrow to pick from.

I'm scheduled to go under the needle Saturday afternoon after work. Should take about 3 hours or so he said.

Nervous and excited.

Had a bit of a chuckle. The studio is so nice. While having coffee we were just chatting in general with all the artists and owner and they almost talked my wife into getting some ink too. Haha. She is seriously considering it now after she initially said it is just not her thing.

Haha. Small world. Louis is such an awesome guy.

he really is.
something you wont know is how hard he worked to get his wife to be the artist she is.
he was working 4 waitering jobs to support them while she was doing her apprenticeship.
when she started earning money, Louis kept working like a dog and saved up so he could open up the studio. she does have a great talent, and it is paying off.

he was also in a band called the Ice Project, they had a few radio singles that played on k@keranda, but never really went anywhere.

also our fathers are twins, so our faces look very similar.

I found out he owns true blue because my brother sent me a link to his interview on cliffcentral a few weeks ago before they left for Germany.

worst is how close it is to my house. I really should swing by. have not seen him since 2009

Just shows how looks can be so farken deceiving. When we stopped at the studio for the first time a few weeks ago (with the wife and kids). Louis was sitting outside on one his bikes having a chat out front. (I didn't know it was him). He looked so bad ass and intimidating that the kids and even I steered clear a bit :D.

Went up to the studio and started having a chat with the receptionist and asking about details when in walks this bad ass and gets behind the counter. Listens to what I have to say to the receptionist and then apologises to her for interrupting her. But then goes on to explain in detail why he thinks my idea of keeping it so small is a bad idea. We went on having a great long chat about why I am thinking about getting the tattoo and how family and friends feel about it because it is quite a bold statement/quote.

Up and till my interaction with Louis it was still just a thought of getting one. But he really put me at ease and convinced me it will be awesome, without being pushy or trying to get my business at all.
Their studio is also nothing like we imagined a tattoo parlour/studio would be like. Crystal clean, open, vibrant, modern and inviting. And all those guitars on the wall (obviously all Louis' from the band) :love:.

Can also clearly see the love he and Monique has for each other. Even the mood and interaction between the staff and him. Clearly shows a good man. I like to take note of these small things.

And yes dude. Get in touch. Sounds like you guys were pretty close at a stage. Know life gets busy and we live past each other. But maybe just pop in for coffee at the studio. Saturday 13h00 sounds good. :p :D

So I'm probably reading up too much and thus getting lots of different opinions and advice.

But what methods/lotions/creams/etc. in your personal experience worked the best for aftercare and best healing?

the artist will give what they think is the best solution.

for my latest one, a medium tattoo on my chest. I used nappy cream. healed nice and quick.

for my back, a much larger piece, I used normal lotion, and washed with antibacterial soap.

my wife's last one, also a pretty big one on her back, it was also, soap, and nappy cream.

I always used bepanthan but this last one I had done, the tattoo artist told me to use coconut oil, which I am using and healing is going so quick.
