Just for Fun
605

If I have a big session coming up I take 2 paracetamol tablets just a half an hour before the session. And 3 houres ore so later another 2.
Do not take ibuprofen ore other NSAID painkiller because it makes the blood thinner.
Eat well before the session and take some food with you to it so you can eat something during the sessions as well. Maybe some chocolat? It’s a nice boost for the mind! :wink::yum::yum:
And…maybe listening to a nice podcast ore some music when you are done talking to the tattoo artist?

I hope it will be a lovely tattoo and a cozy session. For me it’s always fun despide the pain. Hope you will experience the same!

Thanks all. I was nervous but enjoyed it! The pain wasnt too bad except for the coloring. The endorphins and adrenaline kick was good but this itchy healing phase is worse than i remember. Greatful my vision came to fruition and i could treat myself

If you keep the tattoo grease with the cream the tattoo artist adviced the itching is less.
First week that cream is in my handbag everywhere I go :wink:

What tattoo grease? My lady suggested Lubriderm lotion

Lots of options here and expensive fancy shit they try to sell you. Aquaphor healing ointment is awesome, in my opinion!

I’ve always used a little bit of A&d ointment the first couple days. Then some regular lotion after

Same, ointment first few days and then lotion. You don’t want to suffocate the tattoo’s healing beyond that initial application.
