Tattoo advice

[InkDiver]

Don't listen to the people who say "don't do it". It's your body, do what you like. I will venture to say that I have more ink than the majority of people on this forum, and have never regretted any of it. I don't actually count the individual tattoos any more, as they are really whole areas. Full sleeves on both arms, also smaller pieces on calves, back, thigh and chest.

My artist is Dan Fagan in Brandon. DAN FAGAN TATTOO - Home He is one of the best!

The closer you are to veins and bone, the more grating the work will be. Nerves are strategically placed to protect our veins, so the closer to the vein, the more you will feel it.

As far as exposing to the sun, the best advice I can give is DON'T without at least 40-50 SPF Sunblock, EVERY time you are in the sun.

Enjoy!!

Is that why you are known as 'InkDiver' ?

Well, I did it!! I just got home from getting my tatto. I got a flag with a diver acroos it on my right foot. It hurt like the dickens!! :depressed:As soon as I figure out how to attach a picture here I will add it. I am not computer savvy. If someone wants to tell me how from a picture on my phone I would appreciate it. In the meantime I will try to figure it out.

Congrats! Can't wait to see it.

Had to ask one of my nieces how to send the picture from my phone to my email so that I can upload it. It didn't come out to well being that it's
just a phone. I hoped this works.

Glad you got it. Looks nice! Across the foot..... ouch!, tuffer than me.
My advice, it's what I use and swear by, use Palms Cocoa Butter on it. It may not be what your artist recommends, but I like it.
Congradulations!! Now the addiction starts.

Thanks. It did hurt like hell. It was the longest 50 min I can think of. Yeah, I have two more in mind the next will be something that has to do with the Airforce.
