Here's my first tattoo. 50 hours of work and its still not done.

Where did you get that done and by who?

out of all my friends that i showed...my vietnamese bartender buddy called me a Nazi ahaha even my two mexican friends were cool about it...and one even knows that it means something else

Most wannabe nazzy's don't even know the proper way lol I see some tagged and I'm like peace or hate? Hmmm hahah

 

[yoimdre]

[propaganda]

DUDE WTF!!!, What does it mean dude, PM me, I wanna know why in the state of California did you get that for?, Did Khuong do it?

please stop giving advice in this thread. first telling him to drink before getting inked, and now use neosporin and vaseline? do a little research.

you dont drink 1st because as you stated, it bleeds a lot. guess what, when you bleed a lot while getting tatt'd, it makes it hard for the artist to do fine detail work. maybe thats why... oh nevermind.

now neosporin and vaseline??

+1 on aquaphore and lotion, (i like curel)

clean it w/ mild soap and water, don't scrub and don't forget to apply sunscreen if you're going to be out in the sun.

if an artist cant do a fine work when you bleed too much bleed then he/she needs to find a new career..

foot in your mouth..... who told you not to use neosporin and vaseline???
who fucked up their tattoos by using neosporin and vaseline?

most artists apply vaseline before tattooing.. a lot of shops recommanded using neosporin 5 years ago.. Now most of them use H2Ocean stuff..

who was the dumb ass that told you to use sunblock/screen on an open cut/wound? do a little research.

almost all of my friends used neosporin adn vaseline... my brother has a almost full body tattooo as well and used neosporin everytime... none of us fucked up our tattoos.. none of the tattoo havent faded over 10 years.

use noesporin... helps to heal the cuts faster

no way.... just use it for the first 3 days... then use vasline.

while not the method i would suggest, yes people do heal successful when using the above mentioned products. OVER using them is what you want to look out for.

i used neosporin on my first tattoo 6 years ago cuz i was unaware of alternatives. never again though, and thats personal preference.

ive never heard of aquaphor, looked it up and its a Petroleum (aka vasoline) based product... not my top choice either

i just used a new product to me this last time around. its called After Ink and is from New Zealand. it has a Palm Oil Base... it worked well. i used this and only this from day 1 of the new tattoo. its been almost 3 weeks and it looks and feels great.


now i just gotta hope they bring it to the US or ill have to have some shipped to me by my artist...

 

[1sicv8]

oh and i really like the new tattoo tommy. came out very cool! congrats

I will stick with A&D has worked for me like a charm for years

Then, along came the over-the-counter triple anti-biotic ointment, Neosporin. It had a healing agent that was good at fighting infection, and it didn't pull the color out of tattoos like petroleum jelly. After a few years of Neosporin being the #1 product recommended for tattoo aftercare, it soon became apparent that it was falling short of its expectations. Several people were coming up with allergic reactions to the ointment, and were getting tiny red bumps on their tattoos. After these red bumps disappeared, they took the ink along with them and the customer was left with a "spotted" tattoo.

Neosporin may work, but its never been recommended to me. I've got about 11 different tattoos and my artists always used A&D and Aquaphor.

2 different tattoo artist...2 different tattoos that complete each other... always been told A & D. just saying.

one of my tats turned out getting fuct by neosporin, so i since petroleum jelly on all my tats...calm down a lil buddy, i think its gonna be alright

 

[JENCantSTEER]

hand tapped whaaa?

used a reg tat machine...not the original bamboo-puncture your skin type of thing...

the detail on it was amazing...and he added more stuff to my original design such as the strings tying the bamboo together and the leaves....

all odd numbers

That came out well!! thanks for showing us before you got it. j/k
You know as much pain as a traditional hand-tapped tattoo would be.. I really want one. It'd be cool.

the aritest would have recommened neosporin if you got your tattoo in the late 90's- 2003 or 2004...

Eddy's tattoo and Dragon tattoo were the most popular shops in san jose and santa clara... were owned by 2 brothers from china.. Eddy was the first shop in santa clara, and Pinky was well known worldwide and opened up dragon tattoo in the 70's.
they both highly recommened neosporin when i got mine in the 99' and 00'..

i agree but it cost so much more to do a traditional tap. one more thing you have to pay for is the extra person to stretch your skin while the tat artist does the tap. i wana get one done in hawaii hahah HELLA MONEY! For example i want to get a half sleeve and chest shield thats alredie about 1000 and to get that all tapped would be about an extra 500. one day tho one day.
