MY FIRST TATTOO EXPERIENCE
So you want to get a tattoo huh? I know when I first got mine it was painful! I had gotten a really cool tribal cross I found on a website. I could not believe it at first I felt a little pinch but when but when the tattoo artist got comfortable it felt like I was being stung multiple times by bumble bee’s!
I had to make the tattoo artist Jeff stop for a little because I could not with stand the pain! when he was finally finished I could not feel the left side of my arm. I had to put some ointment on and then I was out the tattoo shop with my numb arm. They say tattooing is addictive well the story’s are true I am currently planning to get another tattoo on my right arm. If you are thinking about getting your first tattoo you should look into what you want first because it is going to last a lifetime after all.
There are many websites out there on the internet that show tattoo pictures so you wont have a problem finding one. If it’s your first time getting a tattoo you should think long and hard about what you are going to get because it is going to be permanent like I said. Getting a tattoo is cool but it comes with a price and that is pain. I think getting tattoos are great and they look really cool! Anyone thinking about getting a tattoo remember this quote “No Pain No Game”
I love getting tribal tattoo designs tattoos that are new can scratch and damage so it is up to you to take care of it. A&D ointment helps your tattoo remain the way it is without harming your tattoo there are other ointments out there but a&d ointment is suggested because it is one of the best that is after you remove the bandage and washed your tattoo lightly with soap. After a few days apply regular skin lotion that does not have dye, perfume, lanolin, Vitamin E, aloe or alcohol in it. Expose your healing skin to as much air as possible you do not want to expose your healing skin too much to the sun.
Avoid getting a lot of water on your new tattoo showers you can manage but swimming and taking a bath are not until a few weeks. As much as your new tattoo itches you may not scratch it no matter what and you may also want to wear loose clothing around your tattoo area so it may heal quicker. If your new tattoo swells too much itches or has a rash you may want to contact your doctor.
