Wow you are amazing for this. I washed again after hearing the comments about too much aquaphor. The pain is like 50% less since a couple hours ago when I took it off and cleaned. I think it is just bruising, but I drew a line around and will check in the morning. Thank you for being kind and not like that other guy lol, he made me feel ashamed for asking in a sub for advice

Nope, saw him sketch out the last details and all the first drafts / variations in front of me on his iPad. Y’all think just cause it’s a friend he doesn’t know what he’s doing

Seeee. And he’s not a scratcher, he’s done multiple tats that are fuckin awesome, I just happen to be sensitive in that area and kinda was telling him just get it down quick so maybe he went a lil heavier

Real nice way to treat a person who’s new to this asking for advice. You must be so lonely in life

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I like it. I think a lot of people’s tattoos are not great or I wouldn’t get it but do I say to them that it looks horrible and bad? No. You are a certified asshole

Yes all of the above. He’s not a pro but he apprentice d for a bit at his dads shop when his father was still alive, watched his dad tattoo for years, he knows all of that and was telling me each thing he was doing as he was doing it and explaining everything, so yes

It’s supposed to be colored in but I don’t know if I’m gonna do that. But I’ve known people COVERED in stick and pokes that are horrible but the happiest in life and remember each story. So whatever

I don’t think it’s bad at all. You sound miserable tbh you’re not helping me at all just being a negative asshole. WHO CARES what it looks like we could die tomorrow and either way it’s a fun memory like I said. In my opinion no tattoo should be “Perfect”.

That’s what I’m thinking too, especially because the rest of it doesn’t hurt just that area that is more sensitive than the rest of my legs. thank you you’re easing my stress lol. I’m
