Yea!! Congrats on getting inked! You better post a picture!
Haha, yep, you can't stop at just one.
Yeah, the pain isn't so bad; only one of mine hurt A LOT but the rest were okay. Hoorah for harmless!
I'll post a picture just as soon as I can get hold of a damn camera.. I don't own one. :(

nooo baby wipes! use a li'l bit of normal soap (I used liquid soap, less drying), lather it up in yer hands, then gently rub it under running water for a really li'l while. then dab the main moisture off, air dry for a while, pile on the moisturiser (E45/Prep H) and wrap up for the night. You'll find you'll still get the gooey bits on it for a day or two, they'll pretty much wash off by themselves after a day or two. baby wipes will have alcohol on 'em, not good. ETA: After a few days, a quick rub under the shower will do, pat the water off, air dry, stick on cream. You'll get used to it. I'm also a lover of the LITHA method (leave it the hell alone)

Is shampoo OK rather than soap? I'm out of soap.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
hehe, yeah shampoo will be ok for now, just use a tiny bit, latherlatherlather, and pile on the cream when it dries
Do ye have any shower gel?
Is the tattoo all gooey?
It's kind of shampoo/shower gel in one. Cheap shit.
And I don't know yet.. I'll disappear and find out, but by then, it's wash time.. so I'm wringing you dry of information before I go and do it all wrong.

yeah, you'll be grand. The water will do most of the work, so dunnae panic yer tattoo isn't going to fall off just cos ye used dodgy soap
It's done.. I washed it as well as I could, despite not being able to reach the bugger too easily.
And it looks awesome, as it did in the shop, so everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief......
No? OK, I can breath a sigh of relief.

Well I'm glad you figured something out and it looks good.
Oh come on.. my hygiene is wonderful. Shampoo/shower gel all in one! It's the way of the future. It's like a microwave oven... Oh crap now I've got Dire Straits in my head.

So I'm nearing the end of my second day with my tattoo... Should I be expecting scabbing yet? Because none has appeared.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
I've been told by many people that it does... and I don't pick it or scratch it; when the scab's gone, it's healed. Have I been misinformed? At the moment I've got a perfectly nice, clean tattoo after 2 days and I'm wondering what healing needs to be done.. if any?

You might get a little "crust". It will peel like a sunburn as it heals. Just keep it moist with whatever (I've always used vitamin a+d ointment) and it will be fine.

You really don't want it to scab up.
