Healing a side piece
Options
-
08-08-2007 10:53am#1I'm getting a side piece done next Saturday, I decided that the tat wouldn't fit very well inside my arm, and I'm just wondering about healing it. So far the tattoos I've gotten recently have been small enough and easy to wrap in cling film and the older ones were just covered in tissue but I'm wondering about my side.
Will I have to wrap my whole torso for a couple of days or will it do to just tape some cling film over the tat?
Also when I booked it I said that I wanted it inside my arm, should I let the artist know that I've changed my mind and want it done on my side?
I dunno if it makes a difference to him or not and I'd rather not ask if I'm going to look like a plank
God bless the anonymity of t'internet.0

hehe, awesome! that was me for a long time too! as a matter of curiosity, do you smoke (anything) to relax, or are you just plain straight edge that way?i totally respect anyone who doesnt drink, but the reasons i know vary from the christian one, to the rather get stoned one, to a few in between, so im just curious
and most people cant tell when im drunk until im absolutely completely legless, which rarely happens cos i hold my drink good (most of the time. given the fact that i havent slept properly in over 3 weeks... hmmm... we'll see how it goes... )... but yay! hehe, im really lookin forward to my outing tomorrow night 0 -
Nope, nothing to relax, I'm just me and I'm enough of a header that I dont need anything!
:D
My reason: After surgery on my pituitary gland back at the end of 99, my body cant handle alcohol at all. One drink and I'm puking for 2-3 days and cant keep anything down. So I havent had a drink in 7.5 years!0 -
Well I got it done yesterday. Now I can understand why people get pissed off when the question "Do tattoos hurt?" comes up. Yes they ****ing hurt! They hurt a lot!
Still though it's worth it in the end
I'm delighted with the result, can't wait till it heals up 0 -

Cheers Narco
My whole torso is wrapped up now coz I'm in work and I don't want my belt rubbing on the tat. I'll take it off when I get home, shower and let it breathe for a couple of hours.
I'll wrap myself up like a chicken salad sandwich again before I hit the sack.
My breathing is a bit constricted but I'm just trying to look at it as a poor man's form of high altitude training 0 -

That is a class piece, what does it mean?
Who did it for you?
Cheers It's Saccidananda in Sanskrit.Satchitananda is a compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat (सत्), Cit (चित्), and Ānanda (आनंद) (the ā is of longer vocal length), meaning True Being, Pure Consciousness and Bliss respectively. The expression is used in Yoga and other schools of Indian philosophy to describe the nature of Brahman as experienced by a fully liberated yogin. Orthography may differ depending on whether the word is treated in its compound form and therefore subject to sandhi: saccidānanda, or split into its elements: sat-cit-ananda, sac chid ananda, etc. The compound always sounds like: Sach-chid-ānanda, regardless of spelling.
Saccidānanda may be understood as the energetic state and 'stuff' of non-duality, a manifestation of our spiritually natural, primordial and authentic state (sahaj or compare nirmanakaya) which is comparable in quality to that of deity.
A yogic understanding of saccidānanda is when the nadis and chakras are completely open and the sublte prana energetic systems of the body are in balance. Alternatively, that is when Shiva and shakti kundalini have established union and are grounded in the body of the practitioner. In yoga, saccidānanda may happen fleetingly or for short periods and may also happen spontaneously. Many Hindu sects share the understanding that through dilligent practice of spiritual disciplines these short states may be lengthened, with the goal to reside perpetually within saccidānanda. Manifestations of abiding in saccidānanda may be referred to as: ananda (bliss) or divine ecstacy, contentment (santosha), peace (shanti), sartori, samadhi, sabija, and/or nirvana amongst others.
The above describes it better than I ever could The point of getting it in negative is that the word itself is nothing but a pointer or label for something that's beyond description.
Raul in Smiley Dogg did it for me, kept me talking for the worst bits too, to keep my mind off it
I'm going to get the Mani Mantra done on the other side at the same angle but in Tibetan script. The guy at www.inkessential.com will write the mantra in it's sacred dimensions so that reading the mantra is as powerful as chanting it. I've been thinking of getting this done for a while now, there are another couple of elements to it but they're going to be a while off yet hehe0 -
