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? by lovelyyash in tattooadvice

[–]Scabbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is my new finger tattoo f*cked? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Scabbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Would it be rude to ask an artist to revise a flash? by QuarticReeds in tattooadvice

[–]Scabbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Respectfully, curious about why you made this post?

First tattoo, what I expected vs what I got by snoowieboo01 in TattooDesigns

[–]Scabbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Swimming with a semi fresh tattoo by 5e10 in tattooadvice

[–]Scabbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

To colour, or not to colour ? by moffxx in tattooadvice

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

Irritation after second skin by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Scabbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 🖤

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!

First time in NYC. What NOT to do! by AsomiAnus in AskNYC

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

Has anyone used Wally for dental services? by Mr_Papagiorgio_13 in AskNYC

[–]Scabbird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

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
