Hey /fit/, got my first tattoo yesterday. Any advice for smooth healing? I got the care instructions from my artist, but I'm looking for any advice or experience for best results.

Let's keep the replies to those who actually have tattoos and advice, and avoid the underage basement dweller mentallity.

i used H2Ocean cream 2-3 times daily for the first week. healed up nice. stay away from pools also.

Avoid: Sunlight, water in general, scratching, clothes that will rub it, chemicals of any kind.

Do: Keep it clean and put on a LITTLE BIT of Aquaphor or vasoline three times a day.

I covered mine with steel wool and sandpaper, and whenever it got to itchin' I poured some whiskey on it.

Don't get a sunburn on a new tattoo.

I learned that the hard way.

PROTIP: Your tattoo artist knows more about how to properly heal your tattoo than you do, or than anyone on 4chan does. Listen to him.

On the off-chance that you're underage b& and you got tattooed by a retard in your stoner friend's kitchen:
-Apply a water-based, unscented moisturizer (Curel makes a good one) several times a day. Vitamin E lotion is also acceptable.
-Don't pick it when it flakes.
-Don't apply anything oil-based (like Vaseline) or alcohol-based.
-Clean it with a gentle, unscented, non-antibacterial soap (anything labeled for "sensitive skin" is good) 1-2 times a day.
-Let it breathe in open air, but don't expose it to too much sun. If it is in a place where stiff clothes (like the waistband of your pants) will rub on it, cover it with a soft cover while you wear the clothes, and leave the clothes off as much as possible.
-Don't use a sunblock until it stops flaking. For maximum color-retention over the span of its life, after it heals apply a mid-to-high-level sunscreen to the tattoo whenever it will be exposed to the sun for more than 1/2 hour at a time.

And one more time, FFS don't pick it. It will peel. It will flake. It may scab and when the skin comes loose and the colors look faded, you will be tempted to pick it off. Don't.

I'm not going to contradict my artist with any advice I find here, just looking for any tips from experienced body art fans.

Tattoos are fucking disgusting. Complete turn off for me 100% of the time. I've gone out with some very attractive women but never called back because they have thorns above their asscrack or a butterfly on their ankle. I hope you get skin cancer.

Also OP that is probably the worse tattoo I have ever seen. I hope you like kids because they are the only ones who will like that shit.

OP, I hate to tell you, but it isn't "underage basement dweller mentality" describing your tattoo, it's the cold, hard truth. Your tattoo is an ugly piece of shit, and you should be dragged out back and shot for thinking it was cool or hip or whatever the fuck you were thinking when that monstrosity was being forever ingrained in your skin.

I don't mind small ankle tattoos and such, but tramp stamps of any kind really kills my boner.

Dear females,

It is never attractive to have anything tattooed above your otherwise fine looking behind. We do not require reading material while we are back there, if we did, we'd bring something of our own.

With love,

Dear lord is that your arm or your leg? Try not to gain amy more weight or it will fuck up your tattoo even more.

Please stop getting trolled by this guy you idiots, OP's pic had obviously been stretched out by excessive weight gain, wich is impossible in one day, and he claimed he got the tattoo one day ago.

That guy never gets old. What kills me about Mr. Cool Ice isn't that he calls himself that or the tattoos themselves, but how perfectly symmetrical his tats are.

NOBODY IS TROLLING YOU FAT FUCK.

It's the honest truth. You're just in denial now because you finally came to your senses this morning after looking in the mirror and thinking "why the hell did I do that?" It really is that bad. And anyone in your circle who claims it to be anything less is either feeling bad for you or laughing behind your back.

You're a fag.

Tattoo's are for the uneducated and poor people. I don't have any tattoo's because I am successful and educated.

Having a master's in vending machine engineering from DeVry is not a real degree. Enjoy your fail.
