Now picture reworking that tattoo this morning
I did that 2wks ago on my little leg piece.... only made it through a few minutes and decided it would be best to wait til it healed up some to work on it again.

meh, pain is temporary, and part of the process; but too much is too much... I'm actually dreading working on it again, but I HAVE to get more ink in there, and start filling in the solid parts. I think it is gonna look pretty damn good in the end; well, for a 2nd tattoo at least.... the smiley on my knee looks like shit ;p

its about finding the right artist. In my case, the guy who did mine did my friend, her best friend, and her mom and cousin, so she had a good idea about what he could and couldnt do. I doubted him till I saw his portfolio. He's very talented.
You need to research all the shops around you, like I did.

just wait til that incessant itching starts, lol... You'll be wishing it was just sore, that itch gets mean for a few days.

NO SCRATCHING... thats the worst part; all you can do is pat/slap it.

my first tat was a tribal on my spine right under my shoulder blades..... I looked like an autistic masochist, but the only way I found to "scratch" it was to smack my back against the wall repeatedly

lol... It's not that bad, just annoying for about 2days or so... just like the soreness. None of the downsides are enough to throw most off of getting another.... and another... and, well, you get it.

so quick question... I apply about a pea sized amount of aquaphor to my tattoo, then I add a little more if it doesnt spread. takes about 2 hours for it not to be wet any more, and its absorbed into my skin. So I reapply the same amount.
Am I using too much? I just dont want it to dry out and im trying to keep it moist without saturating it

Rib cage is nothing man. Try the throat or the side of your skull. I got a "cfh" on my skull after dimebags death(a show I was supposed to be at) and it was incredibly painful beyond belief.
