It’s not the best idea, but if you do, keep it out of direct sunlight until fully healed and make sure to keep it as clean and moisturized as possible especially when it starts to peal
I’m getting my first tattoo in a couple of weeks on my side/ribs and I’m not all that nervous (yet)! But I was wondering how to tell family members who don’t approve of them that you’re getting one 😬
im planning on getting a tattoo before summer holidays (or after my exam-mid june) , how long will i have to wait for it to heal so i can go swimming or tanning (or just being out in the sun in general)?
Justin Melgarejo Depends on your skin tone. I am South Asian, but my skin is fairly light. I have a colored tattoo on my calf and it looks bright and bold. It doesn’t get a ton of sun, so it’s aging quite well. The other thing is color choice. Notice how he has mainly greens and reds on his skin. Those colors look great on almost everyone, so it was a smart choice. Unfortunately, select colors like bright purple/blues don’t look the best on darker skin, but warm colors like oranges, reds, yellows, greens look good!
tusharistherails oh sweet. I’m filipino so we tend to have darker skin. But I’d say mine is fairer. I was planning to get japanese style tattoos on my forearm so more on red and deep oranges
Justin Melgarejo I LOVE Japanese style tattoos. Sounds like you’ll be in good shape! One more thing you probably know is that black and color age differently. I wouldn’t say one’s better than the other, just different.
Justin Melgarejo i think its preference. I actually prefer color tattoo on a darker skin than pale skin. To me, color tattoo just stands out too much on pale skins
Eden Maynard the back of your arm doesn’t hurt that much, the closer you get to your elbow and shoulder will hurt a little more than the middle but nothing anyone can’t handle
andraz leben I've lost 10 kg of fat over the period of 6 months and both of my tats didn't change at all. I think it depends where is the location of the tattoo the most
im a police officer and i stay 8-12 hours in the sun with my shirt on ofc, my question is: is it bad for me to tattoo my back in this period of the year by my work as police officer

And be sweating alot that's bad for it when healing
And a Q&A question would be how much you paid for all your tattoos, they looks too quality
My advice:No

Man that necklace is sick, any idea where I could get it or something like it?
Kind of an « odd » question but how safe is it to wax a (healed of course) tattoo? I keep reading so many different opinions about it.
What made you want to get your first tattoo? How much approximately have you spent on your tattoos so far?
how did you come up with idea for your tattoos
Summer in December....lucky
My first sleeve appointment is next month. I stay in the gym a lot. Would it harm the tattoo if I continue working out while its fresh?
most artist would recommend to not sweat on your tattoo.

If you don’t know what you want, you’re definetly not ready for a tattoo realistically.
Are there any issues getting tattooed on the back of the arm given it's a flabbier area?
