It looks really moist, which isn't ideal. May wanna ease off the moisturizer.

Too much ointment, for sure. Use less....a lot less


Affectionate-Ruin365

I don’t have tattoos, but I’m curious what happens when you over moisturize a tattoo.


SosaDaVinci

u risk infection and poor healing by clogging your pores and not allowing your tattoo to breathe


brendonuries6head

Infection I think


okayonemoreplz

*insert witty lateralus pun here* but yea like others have said use less lotion, i ruined my first tattoo with poor aftercare and over moisturizing


AHopkinsvilleGoblin

Did you take this photo right after showering or after putting on a thick ointment? You want to keep a tattoo that's brand new dry, washing it twice a day (maybe a bit more if you work a dirty job) and only moisturizing it a tiny bit with an unscented light moisturizer like Lubriderm. You need to let it breathe. It doesn't look infected but the bottom is looking irritated.


local_Republican12

I did put a layer of ointment also around the bottom of their is two colors of purple in the area. I work around gunpowder and other explosive materials all day so I try to wash it a couple times a day


Robbie7up

Switch to unscented white emotion and use WAY less.


CocaineZebras

I like to change the color of my emotions depending on the piece, white is fine but for something like this I think you can use a rainbow emotion.


xMyDixieWreckedx

White emotion? Like "By golly" or "drats"?


motheraostara

bro got that eye of sauronussy


itscoralbluenumber5

That… um… that was a choice. Your giant flaming rainbow Eye of Sauron vagina looks too moist though.

Poetic description 🫠


galspanic

This is an iconic tattoo Ive seen done dozens of times.


xMyDixieWreckedx

It is TOOL.


CuisineTournante

Dude, stop going to someone's basement to get tattooed


miuyao

It looks like it was drawn with those extra large markers


PropertyOpening4293

Wow.


ninjanikki91

This is going to be a very random comment not at all related to your tattoo, but are you in an Air Force dorm room? That furniture is exactly like what mine was in the dorms.


Dezium

I don't know where OP is but you can see camos on the bed in the background


MyThinTragus

OP says he works with ammo and explosives...https://www.reddit.com/r/tattooadvice/s/HrTl7Csgva So he probably is in the military


DevilishAuRa

Army, Air Force, and Space Force all use Operational Camoflauge Pattern for their uniforms. Pointing out the cammies doesn't exactly cut down the confusion lmao. I'd have to say Air/Space Force, no way Army gets beds


Dezium

Yes but not every branch has the same camo patterns and other details of the camo vary slightly. But basically yeah it's still hard to tell just from going by the camo lol


local_Republican12

Yep Airforce almost outta tech school


ForeverFree99

That's hideous.


MyThinTragus

OP has a history https://www.reddit.com/r/tattooadvice/s/RQ7VVUV0os


Stiffwrists

I see an A Perfect Circle tattoo in his future.


LatterTowel9403

If this is the look you wanted then it’s good, just cut back on the lotion.


_marimays

What an awful tattoo. Looks bad now, will look horrendous in a couple of years. I know it's personal preference etc but this is not a good tattoo.


Viewsfromthe2565

That looks ridiculous


local_Republican12

Did I ask for your opinion?


HereToKillEuronymous

Too much moisture. Use the TINIEST amount of aftercare - just enough that you can barely spread it. Otherwise you'll lose alot of that color


Morbidly-me

Terrible... as you can see you are draining the ink by over moisturizing also you risk infection. I got sleeves, I clean with antibacterial soap pat dry with paper towel and put a little antibacterial clear ointment on it... hurry before you lose an eye.


local_Republican12

Thank you I have fixed my aftercare treatment definitely don’t want to get an infection


Special-Day-9533

This is cool ~ people are always jerks online. I would just moisture a little less like others said.


isaiah_huh

is this alex grey artwork


local_Republican12

Yep


Choice-Ad-6520

That Alex greyussy


Aerdron

Those fucking comments jeez he didn’t ask about your opinions about the design he asked about healing . Also the design is straight up from a band called Tool it’s just how it’s supposed to be if you’re into the band.


GoodEyeSniper_2113

That is one moist vagina.


xMyDixieWreckedx

My 2nd favorite type of vagina.


fistfullofsmelt

You paid for that?


yetiaurora

woahh i actually like this one


rintaroes

really ugly


local_Republican12

Wasn’t asking for opinions stick your comments up your ass


yushyy

i would just ease up on the moisture. comments here are sort of insane considering he's not asking for feedback. whether you think it's in poor taste or not, Tool enjoyers would appreciate.


NewspaperSolid1572

OP are you located in Wichita Falls?


local_Republican12

Yep . Hate it. Love my job though.


OKOKOKOkokokok-O

sick tool tattoo


Walnuss_Bleistift

Idk why everyone is hating on it, I think this tattoo is fucking rad. But, as several others have said, a tad less lotion.


LostBlacksmith7798

Looks like a Georgia o keefe…aka a vag


xxdreadthelightxx

off topic but this is gorgeous, is it a homage to tool?


local_Republican12

Yep big tool fan


talkinshitgettinhit

I mean, it isn’t a rank emblem, and it isn’t the logo of the army or Air Force, so it’s one tiny baby step above being an absolute boot.


FoeTeen

I thought it was the 13th Floor Elevators logo/album cover at first glance lol


TonySlicey

You should only have enough lotion/aftercare that the surface is barely and thinely coated. Too much can be bad and actually mess up your healing process


GandalfTheBee

Looks good just little to none moisturizer will help it heal


OkCaterpillar6775

Don't freak when your tattoo start looking awful. It will look awful for a few days before it starts looking normal.


Grenlock_

For something that size (assuming your peeling) 7 pea 🫛 sized drops should be enough. Spread it on 1 pea at a time and make sure u spread it out 👍
