I had my solar system tattoo on my inner arm
but I don't regret it one bit. I'm 90% happy with it... It needs touching-up as it's a little scrappy, and I'm not sure whether I should have to pay for that. Advice, anyone?

Did you take my advise?
With the bepanthan?

Nah.
I was fully warned away from it by the tattooist, and couldn't find reliable advice either way online, so I stumped up for some Tattoo Goo instead. Worked a treat.

Can't go wrong with that
I've never had problems with Bepanthan though, but if in doubt your tattooist is the man to listen too.

Congrats on getting inked :0)

I've had two tattoos from different artists and both reccomend Bepanthen cream
as do many websites I've looked at.

I suspect he was trying to sell you whatever it was you bought.

Yeah, I considered that
and bought it anyway.

His line was that anti-sceptic etc creams tend to break the ink down. Possibly bollocks.

Big bollocks :0)

I'm dead happy with it generally
and I'll hopefully get it properly sorted next week :)

Post a pic
The design looked damn impressive so I'd quite like to see the finished result if possible.

Hereya.
here - taken a few days ago before it'd fully healed. Some of the lines are considerably less dark than the rest of the tattoo, hence my intention to get it touched up.

yesh

Generally,
if you go back to the guy that did it within a certain amount of time he should touch it up for you, no problem. However, if it's scrappy in parts, you might want to go to someone else.

Man, this fence feels funny.

I'm happy to let him try and fix his mistakes
Most of the line work is fine - there's a couple of lines which aren't defined very well and a couple of circles need sorting. I'll make an appointment.
