If I'm going to get my information from people on the internet it should be the ones I know.

So I'm getting my first tattoo on Saturday. On the back of my shoulder, monochrome, text, further details forthcoming when it actually exists for iulia to photograph.

So! Who wants to supply with aftercare tips? Or what-to-know-when-getting-tattooed tips, I guess, although "holy fuck that spot is going to hurt a lot" is not helpful information and I've already visited the tattoo place and let Iulia ask questions about sterilization. Anything else, yes please. I have already read the first two google hits for tattoo care, but I would like to hear it from you guys.


Unrelated request for information from people on the internet: can anybody rec good long kidfic? I feel like I have read a lot of what's out there under that description, but surely there is more! I am not incredibly fussy about already knowing the fandom when it comes to feeding my long kidfic jones, so anything is fair game.

This request has become significantly less urgent since I discovered elderwitty's McShep AU Masterlist, but still. It would be good to know for the future.

I way agree with this. Way way way. Don't take pain meds; the best artists will know, and if they're responsible they won't tattoo you if you've taken them. After is fine, but before or during is something every artist I've used has expressly said not to do in the literature they provide.
