I believe one area of stuff that I am an expert in is tattoos. I have started to have a pretty interesting collection of tattoos as well as the start of a full sleeve on my leg. I have been interested in tattoos for as long as I can remember. I always would love to look at pictures of people whose whole body's were covered by tattoos. Then when I was a little older and started getting into music, I was looking up to guys in bands with extensive tattoo collections. Guys like Ricky Hoover, Austin Carslile, Alex Koeler, Chris Fronzak, Mike Hererra, and Travis Barker.
BEFORE GETTING A TATTOO.
Make sure you have eaten a healthy meal seeing as you are going to put your body through quite a bit of stress. Also make sure you are well hydrated.One very important thing is that you do not take any pain-relievers that act as a blood thinner such as Asprin. This will cause your tattoo to fade and look very uneven in color in a matter of days.
WHILE GETTING A TATTOO.
Stay relaxed, and do something to distract yourself to take away from the pain.Personally I do not think tattoos are very painful, but when sitting through a long tattoo session you may want to do this.
TATTOO AFTERCARE.
Leave your tattoo wrapped for 3-4 hours. Immediately after unwrapping in wash it with non-scented anti-bacterial soap. After washing it apply an unscented lotion, or a healing ointment like aquaphor. This will keep your tattoo from scabbing and the lines from falling out.The healing process takes from 2-3 weeks.
