Man, Clint, do you have any spare room? You've been getting so much lately ???

sneak preview. It's a snake, representing my mother's Chinese Zodiac, on a tree next to a waterfall.
The snake will be bright orange when it's all done. I'm not sure when I'll be back, hopefully later this year. I love it!
We only got the shading and a little of the water done. Will have an updated pic of it tomorrow. -
my Artist told me to let it dry heal. The tattoo has been removed from it's wrapper for about 5 hrs now and it's getting dry/wrinkling. I googled and there are a lot of spots that recommend a tiny bit of non-scented moisturizer to prevent scabbing.
I want to listen to my artist though.What do you guys think? help a noob out!

It's probably going to scab (at least lightly) no matter what. Although I can be lazy and I've done it, I wouldn't recommend a dry heal unless you've got a bunch of tattoos and been through it.
The lotion route is pretty universal and works great…Remember this...the body wants to be healthy and heal itself, so if you're a reasonably clean and decently healthy person, it should be fine. There are as many opinions on how to heal a tattoo as there are styles of tattoo art out there. Basically many different roads to the same destination. If the tattoo was applied properly you'll be fine either way, but I do believe that some moisture for it is a good thing.

Yes, but a little moisturizer should bring it back to pretty close.

so many reasons lucifer is my guy, above is just one of them.
