here are some of the worst problem areas. the scabs are almost completely healed. no infection. im not sure if my camera gives you a good look, but the smooth "white-ish" looking areas are raised like a scar.. again though, ive only had it for about a week and a half. normal early healing??

i cant get the images to show in the post, but these URLs work.. just put

I dont think you have a problem there.....

I must say your tat is very accurate in its curves and splines that tilt around the arm. You have a very good tat man and may I ask how much that cost!...

yeah. i've heard good things about the artist.. he has a really good reputation in my area. i just wasnt sure if it was healing right because it's my first of many to come.

the artists name is Ray Soto.. he owns Rays Tattoo on 3245 South 13th Street in Lincoln Nebraska, about a mile north of Highway 2. This piece costed me 200, and it covers my entire forearm. Very resonably priced if you ask me.

His Website is

There is no problem with your tattoo. It does look a little tender, and it does look your skin is "pinching" but that's just where it's been coloured in black... it'll settle down - just keep applying your lotion (i recomend Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Fresh).

Anyway, it's fine mate.... Smile

whew.. good to hear. i was pretty worried that it would stay raised and ugly. the blotchy color was never a worry. free touch up .

the forum disabled active links, so it didnt show up. the site was raystattoo with the usual before and after applications Very Happy

treat your art like fine art that it is. listen to the tattoo artist. i cant see any pics, since links arent allowed anymore due to whatever reason. but take care of the artwork. its tempting to scratch and pick it but dont. ok i stfu now lol.
