Well, hold your breath, because something that elaborate is probably going to need a third touch-up session as well, especially if you're not waiting more than a week before the second session, because it's not going to be fully healed by then to identify places where the ink didn't take well.

Never understood why people do this. The older you get, the more the tank will look like it crashed.

qfe, I just don't get it.

Piercings? Fine, you can remove em.

Also tattoos are just incredibly unsexy (add more unsexy points if the tattoo is an army reference).

But hey... If you like it! In any case get better soon.

I hope that doesn't happen. He is going to camoflage it. I'm just happy the crappy Star Trek tattoo was covered up. You can still see some of it. I am going back to him in a week to have it worked on again.

I hope not! My first tattoo was a tank with a snarling dog's head underneath it representing my tank platoon and I got that back in 1989 and it still looks great.

My other tattoo I got back in 1998 and it isn't all that great, but it was free and has special meaning to me so I won't cover it up.

I also got a "prison tat" in Iraq. After the ground war ended our mechanics were doing tats using a needle and thread dipped in ink. I got a very small one on my chest and it has started to fade.

So is that Aquaphor stuff helping at all?

LOL a man after my own heart. While tattoos look rather cool on a young and stout body, people tend to forget what they'll look like a few decades later. There's nothing more embarassingly ridiculous than the painted sagging flesh of a grandfather.
