Thanks so much for all the thoughtful questions!! I shot part 2 last night and it'll be up on June 21 :)

Please disclaimer note: I am simply a person who has gotten some tattoos - I am not trained, I am not an artist, I am not a medical professional in any sense! I hope that my personal experience can help - but always do your best to find artists/medical professionals you can trust to ask specific questions to about YOUR individual body!

Commenters - if you have any conflicting advice, (or if you think any of my advice is particularly solid!) feel free to leave it below, no worries! (especially if you are a tattoo artist or medical professional!) If you are a tattoo artist - please leave your social media as well. I'd love to check you out!

SLEEP WELL!
