I've wanted another tattoo for a while and said I was going to do it last year and never got it. Now I have the itch BAD again but now it's summer so I have to wait until at least the end of September.

 

How do you folks rate the pain of inside bicep? Thinking thats where I want to go next.

 

I don't remember it being too bad.

 

not bad but the closer they get to the armpit the worse it is. I swear if felt like he was tattooing my actual armpit. nerves are weird.

 

For real. When I got my chest done there were moments where I was like HOW IS THIS NOT MY ARMPIT. And I’d look down and it was like inches away. So bizarre

 

Besides the area around the armpit and the elbow crook, mine didn't really hurt at all

 

YUP lol same thing happened with my ribs too. she was nowhere near my armpit but oooooh boy did it feel like it she was in there.

 

Well if you’re going to offer me a July 9th slot, that’s far too tempting; not like I actually go to pools and beaches anyway.

 

This guy I know recently got both of his armpits done in one sitting. Insane.

 

Fuck the ribs man fuck em

 

Seriously the worst for me.

 

Lookin like this baby is gonna take two sessions which is terrible for my wallet but if I’m gonna do it right, I’m gonna do it right.

 

Damn, I can’t wait for y’all to see this shit. It’s not even done but so far it looks so incredible. He’s booked through August so I dunno when I’ll be able to finish but hopefully by years end

 

This is what we were able to knock out yesterday. Good start. Gotta fill in those leaves and then gonna add a spacey background

 

I love that so much

 

Thanks dude. Me too! Can’t wait to see the final product.

The artist is glendalebully on Instagram if anyone cares

 

Is that Star Fox?

 

Fox McCloud, yes.

 

Looks so good, doing some spacey background myself in a couple weeks.

 

The eye looks extremely good

 

So the artist who did my tattoo also does this painterly style, and I think I'm gonna go back to him for my Phoebe Bridgers ghost tattoo in that style but with the whites, Grey's, blacks, and blues. And I want it to say "Anyway, don't be a stranger." But I feel like tattoo font can be cheesy and I don't want corny font

 

The guy who did my recent tattoo said he was gonna give me something “like tegaderm but better” and damn, he was right. I love teg but this shit (DermShield) is incredible. Feels like I’m basically wearing nothing and is super stretchy/breathable. Highly recommend.

 

So I was planning on getting my first one done soon (a word going down my forearm) and when I was researching I learned that you can't submerge it in water for like several weeks afterwards (I'm very new at this lol). I wanted it done before I go to Florida on the 23rd of this month but at this point should I just wait until afterwards? A friend said it would be okay to swim/go to the beach if I did it like within the next week since it's not a big piece or anything but I figured I'd get another opinion lol

 

I think you'd be fine if you did it within a week

 

I wouldn't mess with it. Tattoos and the sun don't go well together either.
