Yeah, I’ve been good about not scratching or even touching it. Which, honestly, surprises me.

Congrats. I got inked for the first time myself almost a year ago, two roses in a Yin Yang design, on the back of my left shoulder. I’m considering getting another one, in the exact same place you got yours… as soon as I get the $$. Luckily, the place I went to doesn’t charge for custom work.

BTW… when it starts to itch (and it will!), don’t scratch it, slap it. Likewise, it will look nasty when it starts to peel, but keep from picking at it, no matter what.

Of course, this is advice coming from a guy who if I ever did decide to get a tattoo, it would be the RCA “His Master’s Voice” logo. Just sayin’ is all…

I got my 1st tattoo at 20( 15 years ago) still love it and just got my 4th a few months ago…it is addicting enjoy!

It was a pretty busy and hectic weekend.

It’s from a television series called “The Venture Brothers,” and is a slight modification of the logo for the Guild of Calamitous Intent, an organization that unionizes and sets criteria for super-villain activities.

It’s a dork thing, but I love it.

(sorry if that was mentioned in any of the posts or comments – I looked, but didn’t notice it)
