      Yeah I love that they got the tattoos but when it comes to healing the artist is just wrong.
      I'm tattooed myself but not an expert when it comes to tattoos. But I do know about wounds and you never want it to dry out. It makes it more difficult for your body to heal and there is a bigger chance of scar tissue forming because the skin can crack if it gets too dry.

I have a scar along my spine from a surgery and some nerve damage, and it suddenly felt like he was INSIDE my spine when he went over the scar. It didn’t hurt, but it was such a gross feeling that my head started to spin and we took a short break. So don’t worry Emily, you’re not alone! 💜

    I’ve had exactly one tattoo. It’s tiny, and I did it myself (all properly with enough training and practice that is). I made one mistake however which is something you guys didn’t do…I put it on really thin skin on my foot. I do really like it, but it hurt like hell, and I had to stop several times until my eyes dried back up because it genuinely made me cry.
    10/10 do it again though, when I think of something to put somewhere. For now there’s not really anything I want.
    Tattoos aren’t scary if you go somewhere properly and go through authentic channels. They can hurt a bit, but in total they’re cool as all hell.

    I know that I'm just 1 of 3,000,000, but this channel means the world to me. You two are the reason that I got into keeping reptiles, and I know you hear this everyday-- but this channel is so important to me. I was around 14/15 when I discovered Snake Discovery, I'm now turning 20 in December.
    I was a young teenager with Autism struggling to find a purpose. I always struggled with maintaining an interest, which is highly uncommon for people with Autism so I felt very out of place all the time and like I wasn't normal. It always felt like something was missing. This channel and my love of reptiles is what was missing. I found this channel randomly and reptiles became my special interest. I'm literally known as 'the reptile dude' by everyone that knows me.
    You've created a channel that made me realize what I love. Reptiles. I went from owning 1 that I begged my parents to let me care for, to now owning 6 reptiles (5 leopard geckos and a corn snake). I run the reptile club at my college and we've even been to the NARBC as a group and I was so excited to even just see you two. Reptiles are amazing and you've helped me realise that. Thank you for doing what you do !
    Please always continue to inspire others and be true to what you both love.

      I was just thinking the same thing. Mine have been healed by washing with the hottest water I can tolerate (to temper the skin) and hustle butter, or sandier, I have never dry healed a tattoo before and don’t think I would enjoy the process as much.

      @Navvaris. ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @Julie_Louis I despised dry healing, the unholy itch that came along with it was enough to make me genuinely want to scrape it off. My artists always had me wash the goop off, put a little bit of aquaphor on, and cover that puppy back up with saniderm. The saniderm part was only for 2-3 days before it was just making sure it was moisturized 24/7.. not itchy, didn't scab up, and none of the ink fell out. I can't imagine dry healing another tattoo ever again 😂😂

      @houndgirl7365 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know much, but I thought you aren't supposed to wash fresh tatoos/get them wet? One of my exes was told that specifically after they got theirs. Usually the way to do it is wet healing as dry can end up with issues from what I have heard o.o. wish them luck on their healing journey and I do hope the tattoos heal well.

    • @Navvaris.
      @Navvaris. ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @houndgirl7365 washing should DEFINITELY be done with an antibacterial soap, my artists specifically recommend dial unscented gold.
      When you wash the tattoo, it's getting any ink that has been pushed out, platelets, blood, and general bodily ooze out of the tattoo, which is an open wound. Keeping it moistened makes sure it doesn't scab over and the aquaphor is creating a thin breathable barrier to allow the body to heal it but make sure it's not getting hair/dirt/debris in it!
      Artists usually recommend different things based on preference, but my body and tattoos respond much better to wet healing than dry healing. I will honestly never dry heal another tattoo, the itching, scabbing, and risk of infection just isn't worth it for me 😅

    There’s no way Gabe has been tattooing for 25 years, he doesn’t look a day over 30! I also don’t know why he told you guys not to moisturize or cover your ink when you’re wearing clothes over it while it heals, but Emily’s tattoo suffered for it. The lines are spotty and there’s a lot of fallout, especially in the green. The lines and color will need serious touchups or the whole piece will be faded nearly out of existence within a year or two. I have a ton of tattoos, I would really recommend you get a touch up and make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or wear a shirt with an open back while it’s healing the second time around so the friction from the fabric isn’t rubbing it and pulling ink out, wash it gently 2-3 times a day and keep it coated in a thin layer of aquaphor or unscented lubriderm lotion at all times. Scabbing is the main culprit behind ink fallout, you may not see them depending on where your piece is located but they will definitely be there if you don’t moisturize properly. Very few artists/studios will ever suggest dry healing for this reason. At the very least saniderm can help if you want a more natural healing process! The artist didn’t do a terrible job, Ed’s actually came out pretty good so there’s a chance that Emily’s skin also just doesn’t take ink super well, but that’s all the more reason to be extra extra diligent with proper after care when you do get touchups, which good artists generally do at least the first couple of them for free.
