Your skin is so gorgeous! You literally GLOW. Tattoos definitely look amazing on you! I have a more yellow undertone in my skin and I think it makes my tattoos look a little less vibrant.

Thank you babe! That is so nice of you to say 🙈 It can vary on many reasons why your tattoos maybe look less vibrant, but Im sure thay still look amazing ♥️
Girl your gorgeous and have and we have a similar skin tone. Do you tan easily or burn? I usually tan easily but haven't been out in the sun as much past few years and actually burned last year on my shoulders while walking the breakwall by my lighthouse mind you I never 🔥 burn but did this time ans my best guess is ive been outta the sun more the past few years.
I love using cocoa butter on my tattoos while healing, and after, it keeps them super strong and dark (all blackwork), and I also exfoliate with coffee grounds once a week/once a fortnight, and use a shower lily to gently exfoliate every time I shower. I get super dry skin so this really helps for me! I also like using Diablo Balm (UK based vegan tattoo balm company) while healing tattoos and as aftercare, it smells really good and melts right into your skin!
Cocoa butter while healing?? I was under the impression that scented products aren’t good for healing tattoos. You do this for both black and colored tattoos? Thank you in advance
FiveHundredAndSixty I’ve changed to hustle butter now has my new tattoo is only 4 weeks old. I’m having my left hand tattooed in 3 weeks. So going to try hustle butter from the start.
this is good to know. I just started getting tattoo’d and I have a Japanese traditional sleeve in progress and I have been worrying about how i should maintain it. It’s black background with pink Sakura, Blue and Red Oni and a Green and orange Japanese snake. Thankfully I’m pale and even though I’m a guy, i lack body hair.
I fully agree with every tip in here! Plus maybe some super gentle exfoliating, not too harsh though cause that can tear the skin. For moisturizing I really like "Elbow Grease" by Lush. If you can get your hands on a sample you should definitely try it out!
This video is so informative and awesome especially since I use alote of hussle butter. I didnt know if it was wrong to use it on a already healed tattoo and this gave me a perfect answer and understanding . Thanks alote 🙂 love your tatoos btw💯
I love your tattoos and your content. I can very much relate to your tattoo journey. Especially as I reaaaaally want to get my hands and throat tattooed but everyone around me thinks it's a bad idea (not that I do care, but still...)
It’s funny cause my tattoos look decent and light blue when dry and I’m certain lighting but when I moisturize them or wet them they get darker and more vibrant !
(edited to say "men's body hair" not "means") On the shaving - I'm not shading people who don't shave either - but yeah, men's body hair really covers their tattoos - and makes them much less visible! I remember seeing a commercial for a shaving cream or razor where a tattooed, male model explained (as he was shaving) how he likes to keep shaved so his tattoos look great - and he did look great! Found the ad. A side note - it's for Gillette (and they are NOT cruelty free so, boo - but otherwise, great ad): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eObBuH6O7Yc.html

Great that you can agree, because this topic has come up sometimes and people feel offended, but I never mean to offend anyone. The add is pretty cool! :D
I heard that sometimes since the skin is a different hue from the tattoo in certain lighting it makes it look dark blue rather than black plus tattoos are usually never as fresh as the first day you get them
What do you think about exfoliating (fully healed) tattoos?
5 лет назад
If you exfoliate your skin once a week that can be very beneficial, I do that too sometimes. But if you do it too often it can not be too good for the skin or the tattoo.
Your tattoos are absolutely dope girl. And I love how you stuck to just basic black they're beautiful. And right up my alley. I too have sleeves and no color just black and grey and some white actually. But they're all Halloween oriented spooky. Ya know. Even the memorial tat for my mom is Jack skellington with a black antique looking frame around him and banner at the bottom which says Rip mom in the style of the nightmare before xmas font. With a small daisy below the banner but within the frame its on my inner left forearm..new subscriber looking fwd. To watching more of your videos thanks for being awesome 🤘🤘🤘
I absolutely HATE that Body Shop Body butter... It simply doesn't absorb, I feel dirty and oily after using that.. It was so pricey and I'm heavily disappointed with the results ;-;

Sadly, I can agree, which is ironic because I mentioned that balm in the video. But at the time I hadn’t had any experience with any specific tattoo balms or butters so I thought that is what it is supposed to feel like until I got to compare it with something else. I can recommend Stories & Ink skincare - those are truly amazing, absorbant, hydrating and they smell incredible while enhancing the saturation of the tattoo :)
Coconut oil everywhere, everyday! Makes me smile. // I've been considering shaving my arm where I have a tattoo. The main one I'm thinking about it on the underside of my forearm. Hair doesn't grow everywhere on the tattoo, but starts about halfway (vertically). Would that be odd to shave just that portion of my arm & keep the rest natural? Maybe I need to hold off on shaving until my sleeve is complete. Anyone have ideas? // Love the upload & your neck tattoo is looking great!

Well, even if you shave the arm, you have nothing to loose, the hair will grow back. So you can try and shave it , see how it looks. If you don't like it or don't feel that it is necessary for you, then don't shave. :)
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but would you bother to put on sunblock if the only time you're going outside that day is to dump out the trash or grab the mail? I worry I'm not protecting my tattoos enough since I don't use sunblock when doing menial chores like this. I'll usually wear long sleeves if I'm doing a lot of out door activities (long walks, yard work, etc). Lemme know please and thanks! P.S. Love your videos and still so in love with your neck piece!

You have nothing to worry about. No, I don't wear sunblock if Im out in the sun for a little bit. Little amounts of sun are good for the skin and won't damage the tattoo. If you plan to be longer in the direct sunlight, like for 30mins or more, then Id advise to protect your skin and the tattoo with sunblock or clothing.
Are there any Otter creams or balms you can mention? The amazonian saviour is sold out everywhere. I am from austria so not everything you can buy i can buy too. Greetings Sebastian
I still don’t get wat you said I meant wat tips did you really give to use to work with? How the fuck are they so vibrant on you 👧 did I mist the tips or wat !!;)?
i'm french i use google translation sorry, i would like to make a tattoo with a stick and a poke just make me a small tattoo, i have to put what on top when the tattoo is finished i have to put something and after the plastic and if so how long?
Do you know if rice water and rice flour fade tattoos ? Because I want to get tattoos and to use rice water and rice flour for my skin to whiten my skin but I don't want to fade my tattoos.
Hi, two questions... Is it fine to use Q10 firming lotion on already healed tattoos? And second question, isnt shaving over tattoos damaging to the tattoo? That why I hesitate to get leg tattoos, I'm scared if sharing over tattoos
Is it ok to exfoliate my tat using a loofah? Will it fade?
4 года назад
Csc Bentedoss of course you can exfoliate as normal, only if it is healed. Do not scrub a fresh tattoo, let it heal first and also then, make sure to be gentle to your skin.
Didn’t shaving your arms make your hairs grow longer and faster?

I have heard that, but haven't noticed that on myself. Maybe it depends on the person, but you can always choose different types of hair removal techniques.
My tattoos turn blue and always fall out. It’s just fucking annoying. I do as much as I can
2 года назад
That doesn't sound good at all. Since black inks used today do tend to have different base pigments, it is possible to have your tattoo turn a slight green or blue colour over time, like decades. So if your tattoo appears blue after healing then something isn't right, could be that the artist is using cheap ink, or you have some kind of reaction to it. And if the tattoo keeps falling out, that could be because of the ink and/or due to poor aftercare. I suggest you talk to the artist, or find a new, better tattoo artist that uses proper ink and knows what they are doing.
Hi! I've got a sleeve that is mostly blackwork and am looking for a good moisturizer to keep it nice and dark throughout the day. I got it about two years ago and haven't been using sunscreen and am finally thinking about the issue of fading. I'm using sunscreen now and picked up some coconut oil based on this video and after hearing a lot about it elsewhere. My questions are: 1.Compared to some of the other options mentioned, do you find that coconut oil does as good a job at keeping your tattoos dark after a shower and throughout the day? I've just applied it for the first time and am happy with the results, but am curious how it might compare to traditional lotions or the balms mentioned in your video? 2. How often do you/would you apply coconut oil to your arms throughout the day? I know that with typical moisturizer this can cause small pimples due to pore clogging. I used to use Lubriderm once in the morning which seemed to mostly hold its effect throughout the day. Will coconut oil work the same or should I apply it a few times throughout the day? 3. Would you apply it at night and leave it on overnight or no? I tend to shower at night, leaving my skin dry afterwards. But would probably like to change this. 4. Would you apply sunscreen before or after coconut oil? I've been looking online for advice on the above info and it is surprisingly hard to find. Thanks for the video and any suggestions you may have!
if you’re using sunscreen ideally don’t use oil under it, it can make the sunscreen less effective, but either way sunscreen should always be the final step. at night i generally use a moisturiser and coconut oil over it since oils are occlusive so it keeps the tattoo moisturised for longer and i’ve noticed this helps my tattoos stay vibrant, which is definitely harder since i have brown skin. in the day i’d stick to a pretty heavy lotion (i’ve been told to use the blue nivea crème by my artist) and sunscreen over it and i just reapply the sunscreen every two hours if i’m outside/near windows for a long time and if not i reapply the sunscreen every four to five hours :)
