The Tattoo Thread

Exactly....what do you know about baby bum cream?

I know it helps heal tattoos.

and if someone like me walk in to dichem and say "I need bepanthan"
the person you are asking for help looks at you then asks to see the new tattoo.

unfortunately this happened when I went to go buy bepanthan for a friend a few months ago and I had no new tattoo and that was then awkward...
 
Baby bum creams works so well. Had hardly any scabbing with my last 2 tattoos using baby bum cream
 
I've just seen a classic (nsfw) "tattoo" idea.....
if i put it on here, it will be goodbye EX_mrs_ant_man!
 
Good. Seems like Bepathan is the way to go then. And not to overthink everything. :p

Luckily stocked up on Bepathan with a baby in the house.
 
check with your artist though. After mine, she told me not to use bepathan despite it being listed on the after care form. Just the anti bacterial soap and water, then E45 cream (water based) after that.

Maybe it reacts different with different ink??
 
Get Tattoo Goo.
Best. Stuff. Ever!

Otherwise Prep works well too. Don't cake it on though (regardless what you use). Thin layer multiple times throughout the day rather than a huge dab two or three times.
 
It's going down in 3...2...1!!

Nice.

For anyone in Durban, I can highly recommend Fine Line in Durban North.
 
Yeah. It is a rather bold statement but one that has helped me transform my life and health the past 3 years. So kind of a reminder and, ironic as it may be, motivation to keeping going.

It wasn't an impulsive decision at all. Took me a while to finally bite the bullet. And wife was also a big part of the decision making process.

I could have gone for Forget instead of Fck but for me it loses a lot of the punch in the statement.

It was actually between two quotes/mottos. After consulting with the studio and wife we decided on the bolder and shorter one.

The other was. "Don't sacrifice what you want the most for what you want right now".

Might still have that done at a later stage. But it was a bit too many words for the piece of canvas it was done on. And nobody wants to spend time reading an essay on your bicep

But yeah. Wife is next. She loves it so much that we are starting to have a look at something for her.

Sleeve finished after a year and 3 months on Thursday.

Will upload proper photos once the final work is fully healed.

Sky did mine and Charl helped with the design. Wanted him to do it but I would have waited till October to get a booking.

More than happy with how it came out.

Absolutely love Meghan's work. Wife looking to get something done with her. But she is booked more than a year in advance at this stage.
