Clean with Dove bar soap once a day, let air dry, then Put a thin layer of aquaphore, followed by a dose of….leave it alone. Your body will do the rest. Dont wash it multiple times a day, if it feels dry or skin is tight apply a light coat of aquaphore. I’ve found the less I mess with my tattoos when they are healing the better they look and feel.
Agree the same as I've done less and less over the years and ran this past an infectious disease doctor I knew and he and one of his residents agreed. I see so many patients with issues that could have been settled with a good shower.
Yea I had this happen to me back in the day. I went to a friends house with a fresh tattoo on the back of my arm. His dog jumped up on me and clawed the scab pretty good which ripped it completely off and did some nice damage. I went home and put I think neosporin or some bacterial gel like it on it. The next morning I woke and I went to roll over and couldn’t lol. The back of my arm was literally stuck to my sheet. I pulled it free, and was astonished. Because left on my sheet was a perfect mirror image of my tattoo! Ink bleeding out had caused it. Luckily my tattoo was all black to begin with, and so I fixed it easily, but yea crazy stuff. Don’t use antibacterial gels on tattoos, the silicon in them actually breaks down ink because it seeps into the pore and then pushes the ink right out. I forget the scientific term, but an example would be how oil floats on top of water.
I also would like to know what brand of ink was used, what brand of needles were used, what did they use to cover the tattoo directly after the session and how long was that covering left on. When people say I know exactly how it happened.... how? It literally could be a list of things that went wrong.
edit: you said the same thing i was trying too, you just articulated it a bit nicer ! this isn't super science based as i was just told this in passing, but my minimal understanding is that polysporin will treat the tattoo as if its a cut and try and heal it and part of the formula is to minimize scarring too, and i think that combo almost treats your tattoo in way to 'heal it' right off. I don't actually have evidence of this, just hearing that scared me from even considering ever trying. I find myself quite lucky, don't have to use a lot of lotion, guess my greasy skin is meant for healing tattoos
Hey you two! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten a tattoo. I was wondering if the customer has to sigh a waiver stating that they can’t hold the artist responsible for something like this, that may occur?
I could see eventually being able to program it in ways to do things some artists refuse to do, for example work on ones private parts, or things that could be more effort than they’re worth for humans

Hopefully this guy doesn’t go back to the guy that butchered his arm and I’m hoping he got some of his money back. Great vid, Remy.
Thanks for watching buddy, and yea he got pretty messed up by this guy unfortunately
Cheap needle's tear skin,cheap ink falls out or fades,cream lifts ink out.
Yikes. This looks like a guy was showing off his new tattoo when he suddenly fell into a fryer.

If you’re naturally a bit oily you don’t take ink better for sure, dry skin is the enemy of saturation. Best wishes

Not in our shop, but I’m sure in some they do
When the guy wasn’t getting the ink into your wrist, why? What specifically were they doing wrong?
Not working deep enough in the skin, he was overworking the top layer of my skin, his needles needed to be in a different layer than they were
@@EphemeralRemy I appreciate you actually answer and with clarity. Thank you.
I had a client that went swimming in the ocean the same day as getting a 1/4 sleeve. It looked rough. Not this bad though.
1:20 whottt? 🤣🤣🤣
Let’s go!

Whatever happened to using old-fashioned bacitracin. Never had an issue.
How do you see AI helping out in your tattoo journey in the next 20 years ?
