Im getting a tattoo on my foot tomorrow. i can keep it uncovered tomorrow and friday although i have work sat morning and need to wear trainers. What should i put over the tattoo to stop it rubbing? Thanks x
I like tattoos if they are done for the right reason.
Having any name other than an offspring's name is a bad idea and I wish people would think more that it's a life long thing before having them sometimes, but I do think a good, well thought out tattoo can be a work of art.
I have 4 tattoos :) all in places they can be hidden.
bekib86 you really shouldn't cover the one you are having on your foot,especially with trainers,it will be very painful and will ruin the design,you could also end up with an infection.It needs at least a week of not being covered at all and then maybe another week of loose covering.
Bepanthen - its actually for nappy rash but for both my tattoos this has been recommended by the tattooist and has been a great healer!!! You can buy it over the counter at any pharmacy...
bepanthan is a god send for tattoos, bekib if you have to wear your trainers then id suggest keeping them kind of loose so they dont irritte your tatoo and also wear a smooth sock.ou could always recover it with a bit of cling film , some tattooist say it can be recovered for short times but ideally the air has to get to it. i dont think wearing your trainers will damage it but just be really careful as you are putting them on and taking off. depending on the size of your tattoo though you may be pretty swollen i know i was and found it really painful to walk for a good few days after so try stay off it as much as you can.
you should have had it done by now anyway , so how was it ?
Hi yes i got it done, it is lovely, 4 stars with tribal around them from my big toe diagonally across to below my ankle. It is delicate though, not heavy tribal. It hurt like hell though!!
Ive been wearing flip flops today and yesterday as they dont touch the tattoo. Just have to be careful at work tomorrow. im off on sunday and uni on monday so can wear my flip flops again. thanks the the help xx
