@bee intense !!! did the solid black all just go in?
@mood yes it sucked ass 
@bee your body’s like “excuse me????” 💜💜💜 speedy healing ! saniderm extravaganza
@mood tragically i’m allergic to the adhesives used in most saniderm-esque products 
but healing the good old fashion way still works! i’m wfh today so i’m just laying on my tummy naked letting things get some air time 
@bee awww yes! soft breezes. do any of the salves work for you? i’m partial to ora’s ( https://orasamazingherbal.com/products/tattoo-salve-tattoo-aftercare )
@mood i’m a religious lotion-only aftercare person! my skin is very sensitive so i stick to lubriderm and cetaphil for any of my moisturizing needs; ora’s has tea tree oil which would probably burn me if i tried to use it on a fresh tattoo i’ve also gotten in trouble for over-moisturizing before so i’m extreeeemely conservative with it now during the healing process. solid black in particular seems to leak enough plasma to prevent scabbing for a while, at least for me.
@bee that’s so true about the black. my sections always got the most perfect layer of scab. (and i also have gotten in trouble for over-moisturizing 😅 we just want to do a really really good job ok)
@bee (is the “not a scab” scab called something? you know what i mean?)
it’s just…. a nice lil inky scab?
possible ick: shows the semi-gross reality of healing tattoos, aka a developing scab
@mood this is a seriously premium scab 
@bee “the most expensive premium high quality scab i ever had”
