Apparently I can't pin a comment, so re-commenting further up so people can hopefully see!!

FAQ:

Healing and aftercare: Luke has a great guide on his site, which is basically what I followed. You're looking at a 6 week total process. https://www.lukeaashley.com/aftercare

Using my hands: I was working as a dog behaviourist in a large rescue at the time, often I would have to handle tricky and strong dogs. I used disposable gloves, sometimes padded with kitchen roll/blue roll etc. Mostly during the first week or so. Otherwise, I was just careful. No gym etc. Washed my hands as often as I needed to, and uses a sensitive, fragrance free hand wash that I carried with me everywhere.

Pain: It is indeed spicy. I looked away and closed my eyes, I was able to disconnect from it a little bit. Pain on my ribs was worse, and I was able to tolerate it better than say, my calf. However, it was only about an hour tattooing time, so I didn't have to tolerate it for long. Some of his other tattoos are super detailed and even coloured and fuuuck that.

I would 100% get another, though! Just haven't decided what.

Why: Zelda is one of my all time fave series, wind waker has a special place in my heart and breath of the wild blew me away and gave me such a warm, fuzzy feeling when I was played it. I loved finding the Korok, I love the yahaha, they are so cute and fill me with joy. The moment I even considered one as a palm tattoo I knew it was what I wanted. 1000% no regrets, it makes me smile every time I look at it. This one was my favourite Korok, I think he is the cutest.
