i'm been really thinking about getting a tattoo (first), but am afraid that getting it now and then going to roo might damage it cause of all the sun, dirt and crowd.
i was wondering what some tattoo veterans here think about taking care of a new tattoo during the roo. what would you say is the latest i can wait before its too late. roo is 36 days away, is 30 days enough for it to heal?
I absolutely would not get one at this point. I would wait until after roo. Fact is that even if it heals relatively fast on the surface it will still be setting in for a few months. And you are gonna want it exposed at least a little because its your first one. The sun at roo would not help your tattoo in the long run. Its like a scar, the wound can be healed but the actual scar takes a few months to finish up. And if you expose the scar to a bunch of sun it will get damaged and become more permanently visible. Same goes for your tattoo except it will cause it to become faded sooner. Wait till after

Ha - for a change - I agree with getfresh I would wait until after 'roo to get one - but that's justme
It really depends on where you get it. Exposed areas where you will get alot of sun? Don't do it. But if it's covered I'd say do it. Just treat it as still healing and put alot of Preperation H on and cover it up. Otherwise just wait. I am having to put off a cover up till after summer.

^Same here. Well, putting off finishing up the first have of my back piece, due to sun (which hates me anyway) and spending all of my money on seeing shows, going to festies, road trips, ect.

Have we disagreed that much? I cant think of more than 1 or 2 times. Maybe I am oblivious.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

What this man said. Definetly do not get one this close to Roo....
Also I wouldnt want to put sunscreen on my tattoo until it was fully, fully healed. Many, if not most sunscreens these days have nanoparticles in them. While research is still sketchy at best there is enough that is still unknown(for me at least) about these and what the longterm effects would be. I do know that there is a major movement against these and any tattoo artist worth his salt would tell you to either never use sunscreen that has them on you tattoo or at the very least do not use it until it is completely healed(inside and out). You can find sunscreen without the nanoparticles but it is a little difficult as its not something that's clearly labeled.
all i wanna get is a page turning on my middle/back shoulder.
i know its not the most crazy design, or awesome visual, but its like my bookmark at this time in my life, where i 'turn the page'. there's a lot of personal meanings behind it though.
maybe for the next one i'll get a gigantic bald eagle fighting a dragon on my arm

^Hehe, the eagle would totally win because it's AMERICAN! America, fuck yeah!
I like that idea, it's just hard to grasp a visual... are we talking like... a leather- bound book with a page turning? Meaning > Crazy design any day. I'm all about some simplicity.

as someone that works for a company that sells instruments that measure the particle size distribution of just about any particle (including nano-sized) I can say you are correct. many sunscreen manufacturers are moving towards nano size particles for their products since it improves the product's performance and uses less material.
The number of people using nanoparticle vs those studying their effects on the environment (and people) is quite small - a few universities and government agencies. but then again, the money is in using them, not in not using them
remember that nanoparticles of all kinds of material have always existed (for the most part) - it's just that we deliberately manufacture and use them more than ever before.
Yeah its an awesome field in terms of what will be discovered but... it is pretty wild how different things are when they are that small. I read that pencil lead is seven times stronger than steel in its nano form. So who knows what the outcome will be with sunscreens(or anything else for that matter). The school here has one of the best nano departmets in the country and I have a couple of buddies that are in that field.

i still don't have a visual, but i want to keep it simple. just like the bottom right corner of a book, and you see the page outline. and then there's the 1 page that's folded cause its being turned.
the closest thing is this image i found on google:
but of course, no finger, or writing, and you see the extra pages under it.
If its something you totally want do it but do it soon. My artist said to wait at least 2 weeks before getting in a tanning bed after my tattoo(btw I didn't) use plenty of sunscreen,without alcohol and no scent. Idk who said preperation h? I've neve heard of that! I'm in the middle of sleeving out my arm and have decided to hold off until after roo to finish. I just had a few hours a couple weeks ago and my guy knows I'm going to roo. He is a good friend as well as an amazing artist. And wouldn't put over 10 hours into my arm if he knew he would have to touch it all up later because of roo. Just use common sense and be nice to your ink. Nice idea btw. I love it when someone has put deep thought into a tattoo. It took years for me to finally decide what I wanted on my arms and the meaning couldn't be better. IMO.
I got a tattoo while covering Lolla. Free tattoos were a very cool perk at the media lounge at the Hard Rock that weekend... I just kept it covered and clean as possible!
My arm's still attached to my body, so I guess it wasn't TOO bad to get new ink while at the fest!
I would wait until after 'roo to get one - but that's justme
