Yes, Liana, I chose him to do my tattoos after seeing his work on TattooArtists.org; his style is unique as he adapts the traditional Japanese appearance and makes it his own 'Neo-Japanese' style. My first tattoo was in the planning stage for 10 years as I didn't want to rush into it before finding the 'perfect artist'. He's well versed in other styles too- his realistic drawings and colourful paintings are amazing so it's nice to have a combination of these techniques on my skin!lcatino wrote:Did you chose that particular artist for his work with asian style tattoos?
NSP, the aftercare routine I follow is pretty strict. I've not had any problems with the healing process yet- not a single scab. For the first couple of days I apply a nappy rash cream called 'Bepanthen' 6 times a day, (the brand may be called something else in the USA).
After that I just monitor how my skin's doing and use 4-5 applications over a 2 week period. It's important to never let the skin dry as that can cause scabbing and thus exend the overall healing process.
Where I had some block filling, that part on my arm ached for over 2 weeks, I guess it was the contant pumelling of the needles over a concentrated area. But it's fine now ^__^
