Did you pick up any of the special tattoo healing goop?She rec'd Eucerin
Lord knows the aftercare on my piercings always was easier and seemed to work out better when I stopped fussing, kept things very clean and just let them heal. Not that I always listened, just 20/20 hindsight.
I strongly recommend Tattoo Goo. Lubriderm is okay, but Tattoo Goo is the bestest.
Huh. Like climbing salve. If it gives me any twinge, I will hunt it down. Thanks.
P-C, does your mother have a Cafepress store?
Heh, ita.
So I called my mom, as there was never going to be a good time for it. And for maybe a minute or so, I was able to stand my ground and attempt to assert that no, I was not going to change my biodata, I was not going to remove the "junk" from it, but she said at this initial stage, all she needed was the education and stuff. People would look at this and think I was a joke, and you know what they say about first impressions.
And to top it all off, one of my stupid cousins in India went and tarnished our family name once again by kicking his wife and kid out of the house, so this reflects badly on me.
She said that after first contact was made, she didn't care; I could send this and she would have no problem. I brought up JZ's idea that someone could actually be looking for something different, but that's not the way our society works.
I was probably crying by this point. I can't do this. It just doesn't work. As soon as she starts talking, I lose. I try and I try and I try, but when it comes down to it, I can't do it. I'm just not built that way.
I guess I should just surrender to destiny.
Cass just threatened me (elsewhere) with a) TV, and b) her cats.
Huh.
Cower before the Kittenish!
Also? Puppycat will totally pull your pigtails if she doesn't get entranced by them.
To sum up? Bring the SPN disks, and I shall provide a comfy sitty / chatty place and drinks.
Yay on the tattoo, Cass! I just got the red and yellow sections on mine touched up a couple of weeks ago. Yep, it hurts. Although the endorphin rush afterward is verra nice. I got good results from lubriderm, but I didn't know Tattoo Goo existed. I'll have to check that out when I get my (unscheduled, but it'll probably happen sooner or later) next tat.

Did your tattooist tell you the hot washcloth trick? Soak a washcloth in water as hot as you can stand, then wring out the washcloth and put it over your tattoo. It helps with the itching.
This is because itching is controled by the nerve endings that handle pain--when you load them up with something that might be painful it cancels out and you get sweet, sweet relief.
We got at least two (maybe three) inches of snow yesterday and it's all pretty, fluffy and white! Still cold (my apologies to those of us in the Frozen North) but this is still freakin' cold for central Ohio.
Congrats on the tat, Cass.

You can do that with a blow dryer too when you have itchy places you don't want to get wet.
