Re: Tattoo over scars,

It depends on the scar if we can tattoo it or not. If it's still a relatively new scar and raised we can't tattoo it. If it's an older scar/faded a bit, it shouldn't be a huge deal. The problem...

I like the quote, but wouldn't recommend the splotches. I'm a tattoo artist and I wouldn't tattoo them personally. There's just too many of them. It's not that it would be that hard to, just very...

Re: Infected Cartilage piercing--what to do?

That's part of the problem. Since you got it done at Claire's it was done by a piercing gun. That creates so much trauma to the ear, especially with cartilage. Next time please go to a...

Re: Infected Cartilage piercing--what to do?

Yep, since the material is porous the bacteria gets in all of the little pores which can be bad. The alcohol would help sterilize them but you'd have to continue to keep them clean while healing...

Re: Infected Cartilage piercing--what to do?

It is a cartilage piercing, they take a while to heal as they can get irritated very easily. Even gently bumping it can irritate it enough to delay healing time. Same with sleeping on it funny. ...

Re: Just got my white ink tattoo. :3

Your artist was right. The stencil will come off, not always as easily as he said, but it won't affect the white at all. So don't worry about it! :) Oh and looks good!
