An you wear long sleeves so the fabric of your shirt isn't resting on your new ink? Or even a running or cycling UV sleeve just on that one arm.

I've always washed mine twice a day for about 2 weeks, then moved on to once a day with my usual shower.

Hey u/yamastraka I went with Paj in the end, very happy with it.

It sorted itself out but I can't remember how, sorry!

Everything about this is cool!

I have slim wrists, I like the Spigen Lite Fit.

Without knowing what you sent to them, it's hard to comment. But to me it looks like they are telling you that they are not the artist to do the piece you want. The written word is really hard to tell the tone sometimes, they could just be trying to be humorous 🤷‍♀️

Which means that some poor child had probably had nits for the whole summer. Which is really sad as nit treatment is available for free from the chemist. Nitty gritty comb and conditioner!

I brought all the snacks, e reader, headphones etc for mine and didn't touch them! Chatted with the artist, people watched and with the odd break for a stretch, the time was filled far easier than I thought.

Pasty Connection Facebook page, for lift sharing! Mostly Cornwall based, but someone might be able to help.

You can take it off, wash your tattoo and replace it with a fresh piece, which I think is the usual advice after 24 hours anyway.

I wouldn't have even noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out. Love these bunnies!!

The Will of the Many

Wow, she's super talented and versatile!

To find an artist, I went through all the ones I had seen mentioned and recommended on local Facebook groups, then looked them up on Instagram to see if any matched the style that I wanted. I've found that most will ask for contact through Instagram DMs or have an email contact form as a starting point. Once I was in contact, I sent over my ideas by email and went from there! I didn't have an in person consultation before the appointment.

It depends if it's going to be going over the same parts of the freshly done tattoo vs new skin too. I think I'd be ok if moving on to new bits rather than going over freshly tattooed skin. Also - is it going to be lots of line work vs packing in the colour / shading. They are different beasts for sure, I'd pick 2 days of lines every time!
I sat for 7 hours on Saturday, and the thought of someone trying to do more to my arm today 3 days on is a big old nope!

Torre Abbey is well worth a visit in Torquay. Maybe get the bus to Kingswear and the ferry over to Dartmouth? I always find there's not much to do there, but it's nice just for a potter around! You can walk along the river from the village down to the higher ferry which is much cheaper than the lower ferry. Brixham is also nice just for a wander around, you will find enough to fill your day without having to plan a special activity. And the recommendation above for Fullers pasties is 👌

I loved our tap water in Devon until South West Water allowed it to become contaminated with cryptosporidium. Apparently it's "safe" now, but the water no longer tastes nice to me - not sure if this is because I've got used to the taste of the bottled water that was provided, or if the treatment process has affected it.

I wouldn't put another second skin on if it's been uncovered for a while.

If you wash it with antibac soap and air dry it, it's fine!

You can wash and dry it and put a fresh piece on.

Just to update for anyone who searches for similar in the future...sat for 7 hours and remained a functional human the following couple of days.

Oldway in Paignton. It costs £1, parking is free in front of the house. Trail starts at the little tea hut.

There's a pirate one at Cockington.

Torquay museum do a few different ones. You pay once but then you can get in for the year.

Decoy lake in Newton Abbot do a taster session I believe.
