Every tattoo artist tells you something different... but I kept it wrapped for the first 5 hours.... let it air out.... then for the next 5 nights... wrap it in plastic wrap & ointment... make sure your new tattoo doesnt dry out.

Will your tattoo darken up after peeling?

On the contrary! Tattoos tend lose their glossy shine (become duller) and lighten up a bit after peeling and once it is healed. The change in color is not drastic. After time, your tattoo will gradually lighten even more, and if there is quite a bit of thick coloring, it will space, meaning small gaps in the color will be visible. Touch ups every few years are very normal for maintaining a tattoo. You won't be charged as much for touch ups as you did for your initial tattoo, and it is useful to restore the color and keep your tattoo looking brand new. Good luck!


Spider web tattoo on elbow mean?

Very subjective tattoo that is. It can mean one of three things...firstly, and in a lot of instances, this is a White Power tattoo and usually means that the person who wears it has killed a minority. So keep that in mind. Secondly, and in MOST instances, it means that the wearer has served time in prison as the web represents a feeling of being trapped. And then you have the trendy folks who get it just for design and it means nothing to them, nor are they usually aware that it has such negative connotations.

Can i wear a long sleeve shirt to work 3 days after getting a tattoo?

Should food in a food storage be covered?

Refrigerated food should be covered to keep it from drying out and to keep odors from mingling in the fridge. Only if you want the food to dry out (like aging beef) should it be uncovered. Food in a pantry or cupboard should be covered to keep out dust or insects.


Will your tattoo stretch if you grow?

Yes. Lets say for example that a woman gets a tattoo on her belly. Later on if she gets pregnant and her belly grows large, the tattoo will stretch also. The tattoo will probably not keep the same proportions and image as it stretches, so that may be something for women to think about before getting pregnant or before getting a tattoo on her belly.

Also if is a new tattoo, lotion should be used to keep it moisturized to keep it form peeling and being ruined. if it is an old tattoo then nair will not aaffect it


Should you get a tattoo of Keep Ya Head Up on your right or left pointer finger?
