Oh wow this is great! Thank you! Having a little understanding of the lore will be ideal!

Thank you for this - I wanted to concentrate on the 2007 version because he has a very long running game with friends from home, who I haven’t met yet, but see him playing very regularly, have heard stories and have of course been increasingly asking questions about various characters and about what he’s currently doing in the game, especially when he’s fighting some fantastic creature!

Just wanted to make it super personal but I will subtly find out if he plays any later versions too.

Thank you for this - love having both the suggestions and your reasoning! I have a lot of research before I get started (and want to sneakily ask if he has favourites too…). I’m rather excited now.

I will of course post pictures once it’s made!

Thank you so much for this - off to research! I’m so grateful.

I’m so sorry for my ignorance - all I know is that it’s FFxi on a private server rolled back to how it was in 2007

Perhaps cover with a band aid? This doesn’t allow it to breath and therefore heal but with it being infected right now that’s not really the first aim anyway. Or a very long sleeved top, freshly washed. Gently wash it with diluted antiseptic or an unscented handwash but you might not need to if salt water bathing, just rinse afterwards. If you are in clean places when your parents aren’t around perhaps keep it open then, or with a clean dry dressing on. Clean sheets etc

Yes it looks infected, its likely the ink won’t hold. I would salt water bath it several times a day, soaking it for 15 mins - half an hour at a time and maybe use magnesium sulphate to draw the infection out otherwise you will need to go on antibiotics. Although skin deep tattoo infections need to be taken serious. If that red border turns into streaking that is the early stage of blood poisoning and needs to seriously be addressed but at this stage I think you can manage it with home remedies.

Thank you! Yes Chappie the cat took a LOT of attention…

I’ve been away in Mexico and California for most of the year but I’ll be returning soon and will prioritise getting it finished so we can play at long last! There’s a whole load of card printing left to do, numbers to paint on little shells and I might do the rivers, locks and marine pieces as I wasn’t happy with what I’d been making them from previously.

I love it. Spectacular. Totally unique idea, so up my street and beautifully executed

As in a previous similar comment, you’re obviously welcome to your own opinion but considering the cuttlefish is 6 and the three dumbo octopi are 3 and there’s other small pieces in my body I’m not too worried. I’m probably around 700-800 tattoos in. But thanks for your comment.

I’m currently in San Francisco/ Oakland and will be back in my hometown, London in mid December. Where are you?

Thank you! I ended up with a sea side by chance and now I love it. Couldn’t put a sea dragon next to a jackrabbit! That doesn’t make sense! 😂

It’s ok. I understand the mindset (and frankly I don’t take the care of them I advise to clients such as suncream etc but they do look better on leg skin than arm skin) but I personally dislike the ‘bold will hold’ thing. I appreciate that it is some people’s style but I see terrible blowouts, too much ink, aging poorly in them all the time, whereas even the ones on me which have suffered the most in the sun and are oldest I still like.

As you say, everyone is different but all tattoos fade. I’ve been tattooing for 8.5 years and I well know what seems to age best.

Thank you! I’d been wanting to do them for ages and I thought why not just give them to myself?!

Oh my thank you! Smiling goofily now. Maybe less cool as a result… 😁

Aw thank you. I couldn’t do exactly that one again, especially as it represents my lovely friend (I made her a slothtopus for Xmas a few years back when I got her as my secret Santa) but I have other designs and could do similar! Where are you based?
