Anyone going abroad full stop

Someone brought a Mariage Frères Earl Grey Imperial into work about a year ago and every earl grey I've drunk since then seems lacking.
That was the first fancy tea I ever had and I wish I hadn't drunk it. I would rather live in ignorance.

Then my theory goes out the window.

Was it straight out the bottle or did thye mix it?

Coming at this from a non tattoo artist but painter background, you need to mix yellow with white to make it more opaque, same goes for other colours also.

I always had colours straight from the bottle, so I'm just guessing.

Ah I get you, I'm not sure if I have that from my other tattoos with yellow, but these new ones are sure healing funny.

I wonder what it is about yellow, must be some kind of pigment or mineral, or maybe that they can sometimes go harder on the yellow as it's hard to see?

Yours looks like they've healed wonderfully. Also super awesome tattoos.

@edmundro is it always those colours or just those colours from one particular artist?

Cheers @JB @edmundro
Due to this trip (in which I didn't swim) I only had access to clean water in the mornings and evenings so I decided to dry heal. So first few days normal, then I let them do their own thing, but obvs cleaning them morning and evening. I've done it before and it's been fine, but I don't like doing it.
Tattoos always look like shit when healing like this so I'm probably being paranoid.
@JB what kinda stuff does your yellow get up to?

Anyone have trouble healing yellow?

Anyone interested in a Rocky Mountain Soul? Good price. has white industries cranks and P2 forks. Small.

Are you talking about barking?
Is there something triggering him?

I'm starting to get to this point.
I don't know why I put off reading Wolf Hall, and other two, for so long. Really amazing and totally understand the hype now.

These are nice and I have some similar ones for when I go camping but they don't function well as shopping bags that I can use well off the bike too.

Finishing up the the last book in the wolf hall series. Will really miss Cromwell and his crew.

:) I love it. Wouldn't change a thing (apart from the strap which I did change) . It's so thin, which for me is a v good thing.

They make a black one, but that's not what you mean, right?

Fred. Was only for a couple of days. Nice guy.

Congrats!

I've used it before and yeah it's a pain to take off. In this circumstance I will indeed be putting it on and then taking it right off, not ideal but the timing is terrible. I'm fairly certain I'll be able to get it watertight cause it's not gonna be a big tattoo and it will be on a pretty flat area near my chest.

Edit. It's a warm lake. I probably won't swim and just enjoy some kayaking. Different when it's the cold Atlantic.

I have a feeling he doesn't use them but I will ask for sure.

Thanks this sounds spot on.
Only issue is that it's hard to find real saniderm at short notice and most of the other stuff contains Nitrile which I recently found out I'm allergic to. None of these saniderm rip offs have ingredient info on Amazon so it's hard to tell. I might just get one anyway. The allergy doesn't kick in until a few hours and I'm not gonna be in the water that long really.

Those look good. Are they a similar size to the Penny bags?

These look very nice but also very pricey:

I have a tattoo appointment booked with Pete Corrie tomorrow (been booked for ages) and my gf just told me she arranged a snorkelling trip this the weekend for my birthday (bed and breakfast can't change dates). It's this massive deep lake/river system 2hr north of Berlin and I am big snorkelling fan (not a euph).

I've swum many times in seas/rivers/lakes with open wounds and never had a problem. Usually the sea because it's so easy to get cut. When I was younger I also swam in the sea with a fresh tattoo as I didn't know any better.

I'm not going to cancel on Pete and I would be liar if I said I wasn't going to go swimming. What's the best way to protect the fresh tattoo. Saniderm? Elastoplast spray on plaster? Just clean it real good after swimming?

I know this is a dumb question because it's really advised against. I just wondered if anyone had a good tip about protecting it. Or am I overthinking the whole thing?

Accidental deer kills aren't uncommon where I live.

Old money and wildlife slaughter go hand in hand.

Sadly yes. There's a surplus shop down my road and right after I posted that I went to check one out. They are enormous. I could climb inside and have room to spare.
