Getting a tattoo is an exciting time but you have to be responsible with it before you show it off! Luckily it is not hard to keep maintenance of the tattoo and I will briefly give you a run down of how this is done.
First, do not remove the bandage until 24 hours after the tattoo. Next you will apply a layer of antibacterial ointment, I use green soap, twice a day but this time, don’t put on another bandage. Let the tattoo breathe while not getting it dirty. For the remainder of the recovery, wash it several times a day with soap and water and pat the tattoo dry.
Hello, I am Christian! I am attending Clark for my Associates of Arts and planning on Portland State University to continue my education! Currently, I am taking mainly art classes to further expand in what I am passionate at. In my free time, I enjoy to do anything art related! Although I mainly paint, I have been practicing the art of tattooing.
Things I enjoy that are not art related are, video games, exploring Portland and the surrounding areas, camping and seeing musical performances live. Currently, I am saving up to travel down the west coast for spring break with a few friends!
My music taste is all over the place but you will most commonly hear me listening to bands like The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkle to garage rock bands like The Frights and The Grinns. Currently, I have tickets to see Twin Peaks for a second time and later in June, I will be seeing Beach house perform in portland!
Although I have not chosen exactly what I want to do with my career I am interested in looking into tattoo design, web development, and graphic design!
