OT: tattoos

[Aisling]

just got my 2nd last thurs... healing but itching like crazy. my first one did not feel like this...

anyone else have multiple tattoos? i'm curious if this is just cause this one is bigger, thus has more ink to shed. :confused:

randy are you the same guy who posted that on the busty wench thread? LOL

i can't post any pics, its on my back. i need someone else to take a pic i guess.

my first one is on my hip and i have a pic of that somewhere, but its not a pic that would generally be considered exciting since its just the tattoo itself. so there :P

and what do pics have to do with my question? LOL

[chillaxin.nl]

I have multiple tattoos:

1 is on my hip (blue M&M)
1 is on my right ankle (a big wave with a mountain inside, since i love to surf and snowboard). This one has been designed especially for me, so i don't run the risk of bumping into someone else with the same tattoo :-)

I don't think I was the one who posted it. But I did think it. :D


and what do pics have to do with my question? LOL Nothing. I just like seeing pictures of you. You are the only good-looking woman I've come across on this board (well, I haven't seen Michelle, so I shouldn't count her out). Oh, and Lisa Kosglow is very cute, and she's been known to post here on occasion. :cool: Oh, and I know you have a sense of humor about this stuff, which makes it fun. And its summer and I have nothing to do but think about carving. 3 more weeks until I go to Chile.

That plus I love that little gif.

one of my favorites is a guy I saw with the handle of a ski pole on his left pec, and the basket soming out of his lower back, complete with some blood, and the inscrition "Ski Hard"

[Neil Gendzwill]

Yeah, he'll think that's a hoot when he's 60.

Hope it didn't spoil the summer too much for you ...

cool... did you have the itch factor with any of them? this is my second...
thankfully the itching has lessened... :)

[mtnken]

I have found that it can also depend on what you use when healing. My first few I used just neosprin and lubriderm. Itchy as hell. The last ones I used aquaphor. Great stuff. Used for a week or two and then lubriderm after. Not much itching at all.
FWIW.

[Aisling]

hmm, i don't know what aquaphor is!??

i use A&D (stuff for diapar rash and burns and such) it on my first i had no issues at all. I really think that this one is so darn itchy cause its on my back and is much larger (more ink to shed) than my first...

i've been soooo good though... its been tough to sleep at night this week but i've not scratched the tat!

[D-Sub]

Ive got a bit of ink...cant remember any itching, and one of em is pretty darn large. Starts on my ankle and goes to my knee, almost all the way around.

(its a big ol evil tree with faces in the bark...unfortunately its not the best work in the world. I was young and dumb)

[chillaxin.nl]

I used vaseline the first couple of days. After that the skin started to peel off. With the first one i thought the guy did not do a great job, but once the peeling is gone you will see the final result.

I had a bit of itching, but that's a good sign, since it means your wound is healing!

So, where are the pics? Let's compair tattoo's!

[Ghostrider]

haha..the classic 'you show me yours and i'll show you mine' showdown...who is going to give in first?

[chillaxin.nl]

I have no problem in showing mine :D I will post a picture later on.....

i won't have a prob once i get a pic. i'll put a pic of the first one up and when i get one of the new one then i'll put that up

[Aisling]

this is not the new one, it's my old one, when it was new. ha!

[chillaxin.nl]

It's a rose, isn't it? The guy did a nice job! I have to take some pics of mine and post them too....

[Marilyn Cambers]

It's a rose, isn't it?

Hmmmm ..... is it a rose w/ a bee hive on one side and a fish hook underneath? Or is that just the photography? :p

Marilyn ;)

[Aisling]

looks cooler in person marilyn... and i edited that pic cause it sits on my right hip bone where the line of your drawers would sit LOL

[Michelle]

I have 3 different tats. I say 3 different ones because the latest consists of 8 separate entities across my lower back and hip. The first one I got (a long long long long time ago!) is on my right back shoulder blade, and the 2nd one I got about 9 years ago on my right ankle. The last one I got about 1 month ago. I'll also try to send photos, but as Aisling said, it's hard to photograph your back! Maybe a mirror would work.....

I had the itching on the first one for sure, the second one not too bad. The third one I had a bit, but only for a day or so. They didn't put anything on it, just some saran wrap!!!

Maybe at the SES there can be a contest!!!!! That means you guys will all have to show up. ;)

[mtnken]

Hey Michelle,
Did you get your work done in Frisco? Guapo, at the Purple Lotus, does amazing work. He did a couple for me and my girlfriend. Nice!

[Michelle]

I did get it done at the Purple Lotus. But I can't remember the guy's name (shame on me!). I think all the guys that work there do fabulous work! This guy traced something that I designed, so he really did a great job. And the price was really good! I have had other friends get tats there, and they have nothing but good things to say about all the artists.

OK, I only have one and it took me three years to get the courage up to get it.

As for the itching, I was told to keep it moist with Bacitracin at all times during the heeling. (2 weeks or so) I never had any itching. I might guess that the itching is from dried skin. A tattoo is a wound after all.


interesting bob, i was told not to use bacitracin or those type of things cause they will draw out too much ink.
and yah that is what the itch is from! hehe it is finally releived now though... and my tattoo kicks ass! i'll try to get someone to photo it

[chillaxin.nl]

I also have to put up some pictures of mine...i really like the one on my ankle which has been designed by the best tattoo guy in Bali. He tattoed all the pro surfers....

[ncermak]

Ais-

I'll gladly take pix of all of your tattoos!

-Noah

[Aisling]

ha! noah, thanks! we'll be in touch. LOL :p
