The bands were filled in with white, it's red and sore now so it isn't showing very well. Apparently when it heals up the white should "pop" or at least that what my tattoo artist said. After 6 weeks I do get a free touch up so if the white isn't showing too well I'll have her go over it again.

Laurie, did they not tell you to keep it wrapped for 24-48 hrs?

Looks great btw.

Need to get something going on my 4th tattoo, a grizzly looking like its ripping through my left calf. ( go figure eh )

Thanks Grizz. They told me 2-4 hours, so I did for 4hrs I would of been happy to keep it wrapped longer but thought I should do what I was told so I don't mess it up. They said you can wrap again if needed for work but it was better not to. Even Doug said that it's better to let it breathe and heal and not have it wrapped for to long

Just followed the at care home sheet I was given.

I was warned that the white could fade over time but I wanted the bands white so she did them white.

You can definitely see that she threw some white in there. The way that you have to look at white is that it will fade and it may turn yellow. Worst case, you have a gold stripe clown!

that will work. I'm also fairly white to begin with so I imagine its hard to tell the difference.
