No. Itching means it's healing and also usually means there are still scabs. Scratching scabs off usually pulls ink out and you end up with scars with no ink. Don't do it. Trust me.

Definately don't put aquafor on it if it's been more than 4 days. How long since you got it?

SuperMan_is_Bac · 11-19-2008, 03:28 PM

omgjacki · 11-19-2008, 03:29 PM

Haha it's like, torture, isn't it? Do whatever you have to do to not scratch it. Keep putting lotion or something on it, keep it moist. All you need is a thin coat.

SuperMan_is_Bac · 11-19-2008, 03:29 PM

OMGz Turbo · 11-19-2008, 03:30 PM

You usually only want to put it on for the first 3-4 days.

Since you've had yours for as long as you have, make sure you use a waterbased non-scented lotion and apply it as much as you see fit. Do not use any more ointments as you're WAY passed the amount of time you should be doing that.

LOL Yeah, seriously, don't. Slap it if you have to with an open hand. That will help calm the nerves. BUT DO NOT SCRATCH IT!

omgjacki · 11-19-2008, 03:33 PM

NO! No scratching what so ever. At all. None.

SuperMan_is_Bac · 11-19-2008, 03:39 PM

damn... this suck .. sad part is .. its not even done yet! the lines were getting to thick (swelling) .. so he wants me to come back for shading ..

Whoa, whoa, whoa. A couple things. Why is it sad that it's not done yet? I think I've had 1 or 2 tattoos ever that were done in one sitting. Don't sweat it. It's nothing to be sad about.

Secondly, what do you mean the lines were getting too thick? A whole bunch of this doesn't make sense to me. Is that what he said? Line work shouldn't really make you swell that much and certainly not enough to keep you from continuing. It's usually the shading and color work that causes swelling since the technique used forces the artist to over lap different grays/colors.

And if he did indeed mean the lines were actually getting too thick, then that's a problem...

Take a picture and post it for me.

LOL There's always that.

SvicksTc · 11-19-2008, 03:50 PM

Dont sratch it, when i use to get new tattoos i would slap it and that would take the itch away and yet avoid sratching the area..... ;)

Good idea.

omgjacki · 11-19-2008, 03:51 PM

I just use that an an excuse to rub more **** on it. It felt good. Just keep rubbing until the itch goes away.
