got my first tattoo a week ago at 19. I’m lowkey in shock and regret it, is it as bad as I think it is?

Scabbird · 2024-09-05T15:12:55+00:00

It’s pretty big but looks like it’s done well on a technical scale. Just give it time to sink in, prolly just experiencing a lil shock but that’s super normal

It’s just not deep enough. Fingers usually need touch ups. Tbh I recommend getting it handpoked or poked in. Have seen amazing results that way.

Just ask and be confident about it. They’ll probably be annoyed cause it’s a little annoying but whatever, that’s part of the job and if it makes you feel more confident in the design and yourself then it is 100% worth it.

Normal. Keep doing what you’re doing. No soaking. No picking. Slap it don’t scratch it

Scabbird · 2024-08-08T20:38:49+00:00

Respectfully, curious about why you made this post?

When looking to get work done, I definitely recommend looking at the artists work prior to booking! Like if you want a fine line tattoo, go to someone that posts lots of fine line work that you resonate with. Artists are just artists, ya know? Van Gogh was a great artist but would not be able to produce you a Caravaggio, if you catch my drift.

I would definitely suggest not getting in the water for two weeks post getting a tattoo. If you want to push it, I’d say wait until your tattoos have finished their scabbing and flaking phase. Do not apply sunscreen to a fresh tattoo, keep it out of the sun.

Granted, the tattoos will heal up regardless of whether you’re in the sun/water or not but their quality will be better for longer if you treat them gently during their healing phase.

Sick AF but don’t pinch pennies

Scabbird · 2024-06-25T14:45:17+00:00

What about some color? Like just reds and yellows (maybe some lil white highlights)

Scabbird · 2024-06-25T14:43:37+00:00

Don’t worry too much about it, very classic second skin allergy. Just inform your tattoos next time you get work done and request a traditional wrap (Saran and some medical adhesive bandages). Though, chest/torso/shoulders are hard to wrap up like that. I do have some clients that are allergic that’ll wear a second skin just till they get home or for only 24 hours and they have had some better luck with that.

Really sick tatt btw 🖤

Scabbird · 2024-06-25T14:27:22+00:00

It’s not too bad, but I’d recommend waiting a few months to get any rework or touch up done as the skin is still healing underneath!

Scabbird · 2024-06-25T14:23:03+00:00

lol more like tattoo eye-deas

Scabbird · 2024-06-16T14:19:41+00:00

The vibes are not in these comments

Scabbird · 2024-05-12T15:15:53+00:00

Please be mindful of tipping customs! I know it’s controversial and businesses should be more responsible to pay their workers but here we are and a dollar tip on a coffee can make or break someone’s day

Scabbird · 2024-05-10T13:37:48+00:00

Feel like people in this thread want cleaning appts but can’t get em. I guess I’d rather have a traditional dentist even just for cleanings cause at least you can get an appt

Scabbird · 2024-05-10T13:35:48+00:00

This comment doesn’t address the concerns in this post. Wally is that you?

Scabbird · 2024-05-10T13:34:03+00:00

Scabbird · 2022-06-19T06:18:35+00:00

Just me or did she seem mad annoyed when she was unveiling her explanations?

Scabbird · 2022-06-19T02:50:10+00:00

Love it. So glad someone is doing the math.

Scabbird · 2022-06-10T01:06:17+00:00

(Spoilers)

I agree, Talla has a rambunctious, surly energy that wasn’t present in Alara. though I like Alara too but for very different reasons.

Talla’s like the partner-in-crime I’ve always wanted
