Ohmygoditbuuuuuuuuuuuurns !

All it needs is a splash of alcohol...on the skin.:smile: Aloe Vera is for wimps. You gotta buck it up and take it like man who takes in the rear like a woman....Um.

You know what I mean. You handle yo' business.

Is that down the throat or on the tattoo, invisibleman?

Having said that, they gave me this cream when got mine done... soothes the pain instantly. Wasn't there a rumour that aloe did the same thing?

i hope you're feeling better... are the pics up yet?

No, I don't think I'll be able to get pics up until tomorrow... I'm having camera issues. We'll see, though.

I've always thought about getting a tatoo, but if it hurts that much ... (yeah, I'm a wimp)

It doesn't hurt anymore, holsty. lol. Just the first couple hours are kind of a pain in the ass. I'm over it, though. Pics will be up as soon as hotmail decides to work.

Okay. Pics are up. They're shitty, though... I'll have better ones up in the next day or so.

Looks well from what I can see - can't say I ever really had the burning - just a bit hot and a little discomfort. You must have more sensitive skin than me. Also the inner forearm is more sensitive, one of mine goes around to the inner upper arm and I remember that one being a little more painful.

On all of mine I just used Savlon (mild antiseptic cream) and that both cooled and kept them clean. It also has a slight moisturising action which I remember feeling good.

Anyway - Like I say, looking good :smile: - when is (s)he doing the rest? Next week, soooner?

Mine never did burn. It felt tight for a few days, but I do not remember it burning. The tattoo artist told me to use Lubriderm on mine. It kept it soft and helped it heal. The part I hate is the time it starts peeling.

Don't be a wimp about getting a tat.

All this info about tattos. Not thrilled by the potential pain, but I have a neat idea for something I want on my arm.

The pain doesn't last long! Don't worry!!!

How much did it cost?

This part of it cost $150.... I'll be paying another $150 when I get it colored in.
