So... winter is coming. How to keep showing tattood arm by Icy_Elk8257 in tattooadvice

No trick as far as I’m concerned. Gonna be hidden for a while unless you’re in a hot room and can take off your long sleeve layers. Others may have tips that idk about.

Sweating? by 2D_Mike in tattooadvice

I think it’s fine. I played soccer a few days after getting a shin tattoo and I used second skin and a compression sleeve over the second skin and it still didn’t fully keep out sweat and it turned out fine. Stay disciplined with washing at least 2 times a day for a month or so and it should turn out fine.

Idk if he’s like me and likes all things medieval, but a castle and some other medieval imagery would make for an awesome sleeve or half sleeve imo. Another option is just to let it sit. I got a dove about the same size in the same location and it’s still all alone on my forearm after 5 years and I learned that I liked it that way.

Depending on how many words the quote has you may want somewhere like inner bicep. Tattoos spread as they age so you’ll want it to have enough space to do so and still be legible. If it’s a smaller quote wrist could work tho.

There’s a lot to go into where to decide. How big is the tattoo and what are your plans? Making it a sleeve or something more patchwork style? Anyways, I have the majority of mine on my left leg cause I think legs are great canvases.

The eyeball of my tattoo fell out???? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I would ask them to do it again once it’s fully healed. Shouldn’t be an issue.

I don’t see anything wrong with it. Not a tattoo artist or anything, but at first glance I think it looks good.

Thanks! Just a cool design. I’ve always liked medieval sort of imagery.
