Hey all,

I got a new tattoo on Friday and it has entered the itchy stage. I am driven demented with it and am afraid to go sleep in case I start scratching in my sleeping. Does anyone have any advice on how to ease the itching? None of my other tattoos were as big as this so it wasn't a problem before!

Thanks

Will

a good slap?
bepanthen, quick shower

go to sleep and worry about it when you wake up

Keep it well moisturised, and if it still gets itchy, give it a light MIGHTY slap!
It sounds crazy, but it works!

Not helping at the mo. I'll just keep slapping!!! Slathered on the Bepanthen too. Might try an antihistimine!

Evening,

Quick question..I'm thinking of getting a new tattoo and not great with pain.

I was going to get it on my hip,just on the fleshy part inside the bone,almost at the end of my tummy(this explanation is taking too long:rolleyes:)

Question therefore is this a painful spot?

Scratch around it, eventually you'll get itchy somewhere else and forget bout it

tbh, either way, it will hurt, thus is the nature of needles. just remember, the first bit will be the hardest then after that, the adrenaline kicks in and you should be fine. its more an uncomfortable pain that anything. just relax, put your mind somewhere else, get a bottle of water/lucozade or whatever, some choclate, and your sorted

Thanks guys..my brother was telling me it wouldn't be too bad pain wise but he has quite a few tats,think he's gone beyond the pain at this stage:)

Well each persons pain threshold is different. Maybe he really didn't feel it too much, or maybe he's just trying to man up!

And generally womens pain thresholds are higher than mens.

If you want it, do it. Its only temporary and all in your head.

im a quite skinny guy and the lowest pain threshold ever and managed to go through 4/5 now fine just remember the pain goes away and you are left with a wonderful piece of art you will always remember

ladybirdirl

Thanks LD 50,Splinter...you could very well be right,he might just 'manning up'


I really really want to get it done...next issue is I want a tattoo of a ladybird (as per the name:)) just not sure if that's quite the best place for it hehehehe

Freakishly addictive this body art..like pringles;)

as the title gives it away! there was a tattoo place opposite dorans, it was above the rocker shop in temple bar square, but when i got my last tattoo it had moved to the quays beside Bondi nightclub.
Anyone know the name of it?? everytime im in town i keep forgetting to check the name of it!!
Just seeing if anyone knows it, want to look it up on website, or ring about a new tattoo! treat myself!... again!
thanks.

Why look for advice if you are going to totally ignore it?
Why do you think its a good idea to get pierced in a barber?
Would you buy meat from a clothes shop? No, because they have no way of hygienically dealing with ot!

So I'm asking you now nicely to use your head and get pierced by the place that has the knowledge, equipment, training and hygiene measures in place to deal with piercing people.

Just like it says.
Im getting a tat (my first ) next week and im thinking that id also like to get another smaller one at the same time. Twould be a cheeky one of my wife's name aprostophe s on the front of my sack . I know twill be sore but will it be much sorer? and am i right to assume my tattooist will do it for me?

It's not that we want to stop "that sort of thing", we just want people to get pierced/tattooed somewhere that is going to do it properly, so that they will have the best possible experience, and that their piercing/tattoo will turn out well too.
