OK guys

Matt and Christine were nice enough to send me out the new flawless to test on my new ink seen below...

i will be using it on the tiger (thats the only part that is not healed). i will also be using it on a stretch mark i have by my armpit that you cant see in the picture but i will keep you posted on that as well

log pictures will be again this sunday, then thursday, then sunday, then thursday ect...

I have already put on 3 applications of flawless ink and heres what i noticed soo far

#1: it burns and tingles for about 15 minutes after application but it drys fairly fast.
#2 the smell isnt that bad at all
#3 the consistency is pretty nice, a little different then the origonal flawless which is at my house
#4 another thing is after it drys a little it tends to get a tad itchy but nothing to bad (only when i bend my arm and the tattoo stretches a little)

i will be applying it 2x a day (unless matt tells me otherwise) and i will not be using the aquaphor that i have used previously on the tattoo up until this point.

Thanks for this opportunity guys i really appreciate this!!!

and there will definetly be a much better picture up tomorrow, this one was from my fone and is a tad blurry

when im home later ill take another picture so it will look much more clear and you can see all the details.

That's intense ink work!

Thanks for evaluating this for me.

Beautiful coloring. I like the design.

You guys have been more then kinda and helpful!

Thanks again. I will be posting pics again today and tomorrow from a real camera.

Are you coming to the Arnold? I'd love to check it out in person.

Hell yea ill be at the arnold!!!

One question. After it drys it doesn't seen to keep the tattoo moist. Seems that it needs some sort of mosture on it so it doesn't get dry. Should I reapply flawless? Or wh*t can I do to keep it moist?

You can grab some aloe vera gel...or we can send you some BoBu (which would be far superior.)

Whatever you think would make this ink pop the best. I'd also like to make it purely RPN. This way after people see how well it heals I can show the artists and they may want to pick em up and sell em from their shop. There's a tattoo convention next weekend also my artist is attending I don't know how often these are but maybe u guys should go and show off the line off tattoo healing products

We have Hell city tattoo fest here. We may at least attend it to look around.

Definetly a way to get the name out!!! I did notice less raising on my tattoo tho. But its stilla little sore. The smell is pleasant and not over powering which is a big plus

What would be the application setuo if I use both bobu butter or aloe vera oil along with flawless? Can u give me a schedual to make the most out of it?

Ok...flawless has to have deep tissue penetration, so you want to apply that directly onto clean skin with nothing before.

After flawless soaks in and dries, you would apply your moisturizer - like BoBu or aloe.

Ok so my mom had some bobu butter from the gift basket I got her so I used it

Not to sound like a ***** but that **** hurt when I put it on and it wasn't goin away I had to shower I couldn't keep it on any more. Maybe when the flawless dries I can go back to aquaphor? I can't deal with that burn

There should be nothing in the body butter that burns? You can use the aquaphor after the flawless dries.

yea i dont know why it burned either, didnt look lik any of the ingredients would burn but it did,

just giving you feedback on what i experienced with it

anyway pictures as promised, as you can see theres some bruising in the sensitive areas , and its right after applying the flawless!!!

sick tattoo man. excited to see how this works for you.

thanks man yea now that i look at it, it looks like 1 flame didnt get finished, im gunna go in tomorrow at some point. or maybe later in the week after all my tests are done.

I would wait until about 1 week after the tattoo is healed before geting more ink done it that area. I've been making tattoo appts every 2 weeks for the past 2 months to finish my sleeve up. This Saturday is my last appointment and my left sleeve will finally be done, $2000 later lol.

I'm not crazy about color tattoos but i must say yours came out very nice just be sure to keep it out of the sun as color fades very fast.

I've used everything from A&D ointment to cocoa butter to stuff at the tattoo shop. I used just eucerin this last tattoo that i got a week ago and i must say it has healed up the best so far. The chick from Miami ink recommended it so i tried it out. Less than $5 for a small bottle and it looks as if it would last for about 5 tattoos. I only needed to apply it 3 times per day as it kept the skin moist for a long time. you may want to apply that after you apply the flawless to keep the tattoo moist. I was told that is the main concern. Also wash the area between applications to make sure the pores don't stay clogged with any dirt.

yea absolutly,

i went in today to ask about that spot, he said he left it open in case i want to do the whole sleeve (which i eventually will do, just a matter of time and getting my priorities straight)

i have been applying flawless about 3x a day and the aquaphor just started today because the tatt felt dry, i would like to give the bobu butter another try, but between the burning and the sparkles i may just wait a little longer.
\min costed about 2700-3000 bucks

To be fair, we DID offer to send you a non-shimmer version.

Come to think of it, the sparkles could possibly be irritation from the act of rubbing the BoBu in.

i wasnt complaining about the sparkles lol i just mentioned it (i guess its good i mentioned it, now i know the culprit of the burn), i didnt realize there was a non shimmer one. and i didnt even think that thats what coulda caused the burn.

however if that offer still stands im down for it!! i had bobu at my house which is why i didnt want to inconvienence you in asking for another one (didnt want to sound greedy or like an ******* for asking for more when you were already kind enough to send it out to me). anyway the aquaphor leaves a little mess and is REALLY greasy. the consitency of the bobu my mom had (from the gift basket) was nice, and the smell was great. and didnt leave my clothes nasty with the oil.

and update on my stretch mark... its not as dark purple as it was and the skin definetly feels a little thinner / flexible. im going to continue applying it there as well

Could be something else, but the shimmering bits are small metallic and mineral bits with microscopic sharp edges...could be your skin is so senstive that you are causing some microcuts.

i mean i know its sensitive, i cant shave my face (well my neck) with out leaving razor bumps, and i cant shave or buzz my chest on anything lower then a 2 without getting ingrowns or anything.

however whenever i apply any cream i ALWAYS use a latex glove (not allergic to latex) it makes the creams go on smoother. this tattoo is also in a spot on my arm where skin is very sensitive, if you look at the pictures (the last 2 showing the backside of my arm) you will see dome bruising, and my arm is STILL swollen from friday, and still burning

The burning/tingling feeling from flawless is still there but not as bad (i guess it means its healing ) im scabbing and some peices are coming off but not like they used too (which sometimes would leave small spots bleeding when the scabs come off) the flawless is helping with that.

maybe its the raw skin mixed with the little glitter that is irritated the already broken skin?

Exactly what I'm thinking.

anything is possible plus it was tender to the touch, and still is, from friday to today, hard to get my shirts on and off without it rubbing the tatt and burning lol good thing is the flawless dries enough in which by the time i get my shirt on it leavces no marks or stains.

That tattoo cost you $3000????

180 an hour and i included tips.

The shop i go to charges $180 also but I became friends with My tattoo artist so he hooks me up big time. I pay like $125 per hr if that. The shops that charge the most do the best work and by the looks of your tat you def went to the right place. Hopefully he cuts the price down a little the next time you get a tattoo being that you've already spent a few thousand there.
