It's one day old... the design is a traditional Haida owl totem done by KP at Studio 42 in Bartlett. Chair time was just under two hours.

Yup.

The shed is going to be awful... there's so much ink so deep that I'll look like a Chernobyl survivor.

Lots of Lubriderm and keep your dirty little hands off of it and you'll do fine.

Looks good.

use aquaphor that's what i used, it's originally for diaper rash but good for those of us who have allergic reactions to A/D oinkment. Nice ink, two hours?

My artist recommended lubriderm, too. I used A/D on my others and they turned out fine, but I'm trusting ya'll.

He used the little needle for the fill-in since there was so much line work.

I prefer high moisturizing fragrance free lotions (Lubriderm, Curel) to A&D because they don't smother the tattoo like an ointment can. Allowing air to get to the wound promotes a faster healing time with less sloughing of skin in my experience. One of my earlier pieces of ink bears witness to bad after care advice.

Your work is good PR for studio 42. If I didn't already have a artist and shop (Tony Max @ No Regrets) I would definitely look at them for some ink after seeing yours. The fact that I live about 2 minutes from Studio 42 doesn't hurt, lol.

R. Lee Ermey's words on tattoos and the military. He's got a cool goatee. I think he's ready to teach at Cambridge.
