sheff_girl Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Had mine done today, at Eternal Ink. Totally fabulous. Dave did it, and was lovely, even when I had a moment of nearly passing out, he was really understanding, and didn't make me feel too much like a wuss, even though I am. Would defo recommend. Will be going back for sure. Thumbs up from me...thanks Dave (if you're reading this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a tip expected and what sort of percentage? no,tipping is not expected,not at any of the studios myself and the wife have been to anyway,however,its entirely up to you,if you do decide to give them a tip,i,m sure they would be grateful.

Keep up with the salt soaks, but make sure they're not too strong (1/8 teaspoon to a cup of water) and I'd dilute the mouthwash too, think it can be quite aggravating to piercings if too strong. So long as the swelling isn't overly painful, red or hot to the touch (suggesting infection) then I'd just keep an eye on it for a few days. Then if it's still giving you trouble, nip back to the piercer - happy healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beddoe79 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi i just wondered if anyone could tell me roughly how much a tattoo in black probably no bigger than 2"square would be?
