Got a tattoo in NZ on my honeymoon and I utterly messed up the aftercare and now will have to touch up most of it (a lot of color was washed away). But at least I can touch up! How long do I have to wait for a touch up? 4 months? The guy also used the wrong color--who thinks Winnie the Pooh is brown? But I blame myself for not asking that questions (BUT COME ON--BROWN?).

Maybe he thought you said Winnie the Poo.

@JerkStore Pics or it didn't happen...

@JerkStore How did you not catch and stop that?

[JerkStore]

@goosehd I caught it after he did the feet and it was too late. We discussed the purple color, but not the body color. SO it's my fault for sure. Will just get the whole thing touched up now instead of only part of it ha.

To be fair the base picture is at night time and it is definitely more brown than normal pooh.

@JerkStore I like tattoos that have a story behind them and would keep it the way it is.

I don't disagree, but I just prefer a story other than "the artist fucked up and here I am." So I'll do a touch up for the purple and add yellow to the brown to correct the coloring.

But Pooh is my 2 year old son's favorite character right now and it's to always remember this time of his life.

@JerkStore Adding yellow to brown is only going to make it a slightly lighter brown. It will never be yellow.

[JerkStore]

@jskidder I've heard it should work fine. Regardless, yellowish brown is going to be better than dark brown as is. Mixing brown and yellow just makes it a darker yellow.

@hbg1 so sick!

@Mizmazzle stomach on both sides since I'll have a split down the middle (munewari). and a I have about a 13x7 rectangle of open space on my butt that needs to connect my back piece and the back of my legs. I put all the worst parts off for last

[Mizmazzle]

@choco haha. Procrastination has always worked pretty well for me!

@hbg1 this is sick, indeed!! I want to start my left leg soon. So far, apart from my left outer thigh, my legs are a blank canvas. Any part of the leg in particular that was more brutal…pain wise?

The back of the knee was kinda gross, the lining on my kneecap was unpleasant too because I have a bony knee and the skin is so thin. The kneecap was the only time I have had bruising as well.

I think this past visit with work on my inner thigh was by far the worst though, just some tough soft spots and I was so glad when it was done

[Matt]

Getting my knee done next week. Not at all excited.

[choco]

side of my knee was no fun, but as a whole it was pretty mild

[Matt]

That’s encouraging. Looking forward to showing you guys the finished project.

Looking forward to seeing it!

@Matt yeah dude! Tattoo therapy I like to call it. Come out the session more zen like!

[EdH]

I'll have some new work to show off after the weekend too. Not sure which one(s) we're going to do, but my guy offered me Sunday afternoon to squeeze in a bit more work on the second sleeve without having to endure an 8 month wait for a regular appointment.
