Tattoos

[Suu]

Oh goddamn dickballs. It's itching already! 

This is going to be a FUN week.

Isn't the itching-like-fuck-and-peeling-like-a-sunburn stage just a barrel of awesome?   

It already feels like a sunburn. Lol, just a matter of time now...I'm going to be DYING on Monday. I'm keeping it constantly covered with cocoa butter, but we all know that pretty much does nothing, since dead skin will peel regardless.

I've found that Lubriderm works pretty good at keeping the flakiness down.

You're not supposed to use it. Too many synthetic ingredients.

a mix of aloe vera gel and olive oil applied with a cucumber works wonders on road rash (large scrapes) might help with a tattoo???

I just use Palmer's Cocoa Butter with Vitamin E. It's what they use as lube when they're drillin' so...I was told no Lubriderm, no petroleum jelly, and absolutely no fucking antibiotic ointment. I put on A&D before I go to bed, but only for like another night.

the aloe Vera gel has nothing but cactus in it (bought at health store ) i would stick to the recommendations of the tattoo artists and people familiar with tattooing,

i scraped most of the skin off one side of my face in a mountain bike crash and used the above recipe a few times a day and had no infection and no scaring... it work's great for that..

[Suu]

I'll have to ask about it. I've used straight up vitamin E oil before and had no problems.

aloe will actually pull the ink out.
it kinda works the same way as an antibiotic ointment.

the cocoa butter and a&d are the best things to use for it.

that's good to know squid diddle.. the fact that it acts as a antibiotic is probably why it works well on scrapes and burns..

What's wrong with synthetic?

Chemicals in Lubriderm can draw the ink out and make it fade faster.

Okay, thanks Suu.

However, I do love Lubriderm on my hands.

Here's some shots of my sister last week. (Yup...homegirl flew 1500mi for a fooking tramp stamp.) The GOOD pics of her wincing are on her BF's phone, I'm afraid, but she was hurting.

[Suu]

Oh shit, I DO have a pic of my sister's dingbat. Lol.

I have nine tattoos.

One my right forearm:
* Leaves and jungle foliage forming a frame around:
* A cave-woman drawn by Frank Cho
* A technicolor (orange and blue) snake wrapped around a branch from which hangs the Golden Apple, tempting the cave woman -- yes, I have a subversion of the Garden of Eden story on my arm
* A naked redhead with a green cloak pouring out the waters of life from a jug, symbolizing my birth sign (Aquarius).

One my right shoulder:
* A large Giger-style biomechanical image of a woman's face done entirely in gray.  Everyone who sees it calls it a "goddess face."  Few know which one.

One my left forearm:
* A Tibetian occult-style fanged skull penetrated by a jeweled dagger and entwined by a diamondback rattlesnake
* A screaming skull wreathed in blue flames
* A grinning skull with devil horns

On my right calf:
* a goblin (representing Mescaltio) hanging onto a out-of-control jackhammer (representing LSD).
