I didn't mean bleed outside of the lines, I literally did mean leak - both my back and Mics dragons produced basically black sweat.

Another example of the different tattooists/tattooees ways of looking after them; I've always been told not to let the tattoos scab up which is why the cling film for 3 days.
There are so many schools of thought and so many "examples" of good and bad practises that it can get quite confusing for someone just asking for advice.

(and I wouldn't mind my tattooist touching me up

)

Maybe i should have said not as good

Nice to see you have snuck back onto the nets Rikki.

I dunno anything about tattoos although seems you're well covered for advice on that front.

On the subject of the image itself I'd be worried about people mistaking me for some kind of left wing extremist if I had that on my arm. (I don't know the origins of the image but then I wouldn't expect joe public on the street to either). Had you considered that possible reaction to it and are you comfortable with it?

Standard reaction

The problem with eagles is no matter what it looks like there will always be some dickwad that misconstrues it for a nazi eagle. I fear you'll be on the receiving end of that at some point.

Either that or someone will assume you work for Barclays Bank:

I'd not thought of the Brackleys Bonk thing but the other eagle meaning did occur to me as well. The Nazi eagle is very different to this design.

ah yes, i know what you mean. that's just the ink that's not embeded between the layers of skin and the blood that's been pushed back in with it.

a tattoo is essentialy a big graze, it will always scab to some degree, though if it's done at a proper depth it should be minimal.

i tend to cover it with clingfilm for an hour or so, go home, clean it up and put some bepanthen on it. then more bep for a week or so.

I like it.

Get two though, like epaulettes with FJD. Feek Justice Department.

Nice design and nothing like the Nazi version.
