Rule No 1: Don´t get a tat at a festival
for details, ask me tomorrow when I´m sober

So what happend auntie

 

[Lucretia]

nothing happened. I just wanted to say that it is not a good idea to get a tattoo done at a festival.
Reasons: Difficult to care for/clean it, no choice for the artist, you shouldn´t drink alcohol when you get tattooed and so on.
Better do it at home!

I was thinking of getting a tattoo at Wacken last year but decided against it for the same reasons. Still haven't got round to it, maybe I should get one... hmm... when I get the money I'll post some designs on the forum and let you lot choose one for me, who better to choose a tattoo than a bunch of WOA metalheads?

 

[Lucretia]

erm... the only person who can choose a design for you is YOURSELF. YOU have to run around with it for the rest of your life and not we!

 

[Aegir]

You make a good point

 

[Lucretia]

I know.
If you are not sure what you wanna have, don´t do it and wait until you are sure... there´s no need to hurry or stuff for something you will have for your whole life then

A few things I try to follow when getting a new tattoo -

* Don't drink alcohol for 24 hours before or 24 hours after you make it.

* See to it that you are well rested and well fed when you get it done.

* Keep it clean and put antiseptic salve on it when ever needed for at least the first four weeks.

* Keep it from sunlight and don't go swimming / bathing for at least the first four weeks.

* Make damn sure that the design you are getting is what YOU really want and can live with for the rest of your life.

* If you want to fill it in less often, keep your desings all black and no colours.


Anyways, that's what I have learned about thsi art so far

Most of them sort of say: Don't do it at a festival

 

[Lucretia]

agreed

Except

there are fuckloads of theories how to handle a fresh tattoo - this is only one of them

 

[gnoff]

True, but it has worked out fine for me the three times I've made tattoos so far, so I'll keep doing it

 

[Lucretia]

well, then it´s fine for you
but other treatments might be good as well
