Some TMI things about healing big colour tattoos: - showering is a weird yoga exercise - im hungry all the time bc my body needs fuel to produce plasma so I can heal. I’ve destroyed every snack at home - sleeping positions are an art form - my leg looks like marinated sealed meat

When i got the one on my arm i just straight up learned to sleep on my back T_T Had to stop wearing jackets for a while too T_T

Oof that sucks dude. Currently I’m doing a bizarre ballerina stance so I can sleep, my hips HATE IT

it sucked SO MUCH. My shirts kept catching on the scabs that formed T_T. No one warns you how gross healing tattoos are

NO ONE DOES! Ppl were genuinely shocked when they saw my thigh pieces & calves heal and look feral for three weeks. I feel like we should talk more about the cool and gross stuff our bodies do during this time so we all can have the best understanding of what tattooing looks like

Wait what?! Why were your tattoos scabbing or looking feral?! What were you doing/not doing? I'm so horrified and want to teach everyone all the things about how easy tattoos are to heal They should just peel like a sunburn after a few days and be perfect within 2-3 weeks!

My first ones were so...so gross and the tattooed humans in my life at the time were like ‘dry heal them and let them scab’ never againnn
