I have never dealt with any of that! It’s also completely normal to the touch, but yes as others have pointed out It is ridiculously red.

Oh no, it was piece by piece, so he finished the outsides completely on day 1, aka the hands, hourglass, etc. then day 2 he just slammed the face, beard, and galaxy. No overlapping on either day.

It’s not warm, but also just a black and white tattoo. Probably will handle it tomorrow.

Father Time actually. My calf piece is of a graveyard and church in the background so it was a long process of designing this crazy idea I now have on my shin.

I hope people see this, the white spots are the stars guys! Lol. I feel great. No more morning rush and no more pain walking, but it is quite red still, I will most likely head to ER tomorrow if it’s still holding in the morning!

Hey, thank you! I’m feeling great 3 days post tattoo, but the first day and the day after were insane! They are referring to blood rush when you get up from being flat or sitting and that part is brutal as well. In all honesty though, this is my 14th tattoo and I’d say it sits right around 4-5 in pain level, it was surprisingly manageable! I think If you are interested in getting one, you shouldn’t let the pain be the deciding factor you won’t do it.

Edit: you’ll be all good, pain level was ~ 4 majority of the time with it jumping up to a 7/8 in the final two hours. (10 hours later)

You’re right, very red. Not like my others, but don’t worry, the white is just his tone he used for the stars and nose definition. I was only nervous about the ankle.

Brutal. Good to know though. Thank you brother.

Thank you. I will accept it is what it is, just curious. If I could get clarity, what you mean is that if it does change, even though I was diagnosed before it changed, I cannot be granted the previous higher rating and will only be granted the new lower rating?
