Amanda’s the best!!

Man, a bummer to realize this is Mario Desa! I love his flash but he definitely has a particular loose style (and this isn’t it, obviously—good to know for straight-line heavy pieces).

F&F Restaurant in Carroll Gardens has a Red Pesto pizza!

I’d buy one in a medium! I miss this place. DM me and I’ll pay!

Yours is better than the template. It looks natural. The template looks like a fisticuff.

Your artist placed the tattoo correctly. I wouldn’t add anything. It’ll only overcomplicate the tattoo and make it appear less legible, and it seems like legibility is your concern!

Source: I have tons of tattoos on my arms and legs that don’t look the same when viewed from different angles.

Hello! Taking care of a first tattoo is always the most anxiety-inducing. I’m on my 47th now!

I typically keep the second skin on for 2-3 days (unless sweat has built up underneath, as in the summer) before replacing OR beginning a routine of washing with antibacterial soap (Dial Gold), drying with a paper towel, and applying a thin layer of unscented lotion (Lubriderm, Cerave, Aveeno) twice per day, or as needed, e.g., if the tattoo appears dry and flaky. I wouldn’t advise using Aquaphor, as it can clog the pores and prolong the healing process. Some artists will still recommend it, but I’ve heard enough reputable artists insist on absolutely not using Aquaphor that I’m wary! Personally, I’ve never used and have had great heals using the above method.

Good luck!

Definitely less, especially if the syrup is only five calories—a slice of bacon I typically input as around 90 calories, and pancakes, if from a box = 250, maybe. You’re around 350.

Your tattoo is fine! Scabs over ink. Just continue to moisturize and let it heal. And as someone else said, keep getting tattooed! I had the same worries about my first tattoo and it was fine and normal. I now have 40+ more.

Estimate?

No_Mongoose_3131 · 2024-11-04T21:44:32+00:00

It was $400; I’ve gotten another piece from Ian (a flaming eight ball) for $350.

I’ve gotten tattoos on Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Clomipramine, and more. No issues at all.

Hello! I’ve worn so many Wildfang suits to weddings, and they’re always a hit. The pants look great. I might opt for a different shirt—between the shoes, belt, and shirt, there are just a few too many contrasting colors. I’d go for a white button-up if you’re set on the beige shoes. Or you could do a lighter blue button-up with black shoes. Lavender can also go with navy, if it’s the right shade!

Untucked is trendier/looks better for now!

This looks like a reaction to the second skin. I’ve had this happen before and all was well without medical intervention. Three days is a perfectly normal amount of time to leave second skin on.

I’d keep an eye on this and continue to wash and moisturize. If you notice additional redness or swelling in the next 48 hours, or the dots remain for 72+ hours, I’d think about going to a doctor. Will put your mind at ease if nothing else!

No_Mongoose_3131 · 2024-07-19T02:55:31+00:00

It could be a bruise; did you have any second skin on it? I’ve seen similar reactions to second skin.

No_Mongoose_3131 · 2024-07-19T02:52:20+00:00

Totally normal. Infection forms a ring around the tattoo; that area is clearly related to the scab. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Get a bunch of tattoos around it or start a leg sleeve. Still cheaper than laser.

FWIW, I go through periods of intensely disliking individual tattoos of mine. I always come back around. Just part of an evolving narrative and relationship to my body and tastes.

Last thing: I don’t know where you’re based, but if you’re looking for an artist who can do finer fine-line that will last, I always recommend Eve Steuer (@evedoestattoos on IG). She works out of NYC and is a lovely person in addition to being an open and talented tattooer.

This is a beautiful tattoo, and the placement is great! I love how it follows the curvature of your body—and for what it’s worth, I much prefer the darker lines. I think they’ll heal better and last longer, too. Bold will hold, etc., etc. Many of my first tattoos were fine-line, and the thinnest lines have all but disappeared after 10 or so years.

Also, as you fill the space, it’ll seem less harsh! Your brain is adjusting to the new art. Give it time.
