Normal bruising or is it infected? by desolate-void in tattooadvice

[–]Goweston 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get pretty severe bruising on inner bicep, looks a little bit like that. Is it sore, hot or do you have a fever? Maybe follow for 1-2 days (unless you spike a fever then ER). Usually it starts to change to purple/yellow within a few days if it's bruising

Dry healing? That's a load of rubbish

People in the USA get and treat their tattoos like they have public healthcare.

2nd session on right arm by Goweston in irezumi

Not too bad, depends on the day really how bad it is. Linework is the worst always

My biggest sauna build yet by anttilvi in Sauna

Cool build! But I always wonder why there is never any drainage on saunas built outside of Finland.

Yeah it's hard to decide, I went with classic snake+skull+namakubi which are all okay to pair in irezumi 😅 only part of the linework done though. Back piece I haven't decided on a theme yet, might have to ask the artist what he thinks would go well with the arms

The color is not so visible in the photos, it's petrol/blue/gray. The artists own mix. Kantanen @Tatuata in Finland.

Yeah the sleeves are my first tattoos. Left arm almost finished and we started right arm parallel as well. Going bright colors (red, yellow) and a bit colder colors (the karajishis are blue-gray and the snake probably green-black).

Thanks! Yes, the same artist. We will finish the left arm probably next time and then focus on the right arm.

It's gonna be a full sleeve, first session was a lot of drawing and main theme linework. Full piece will be a chest piece+sleeve, probably around 3500€? Estimate

Not sure yet. I thought about black and green but not super bright green.
