there are many many factors that go into a tattoo. the area, and the how sensitive your client’s skin is will affect the swelling. try adding 4 capfuls of witch hazel and bactine to your wash bottle. itll help a lot.

Where are the shops located that you worked at?

I always give my information for free. I’ve even got a few videos on youtube, and a massive shopping list on another forum. Took me four hours to type that shopping list out! lmao
