if you're having seepage problems, you're putting too much ointment on... if it feels weird when it's healing, fine...

my last one seeped a bit more than I would have liked, not entirely sure why either, so it's likely i'll go get it touched up when I get my next one

I have my little girls name down my side. When I got both of my sides done they did not hurt. I got the inside of my arm down with a big tat and I was fine. I have a half sleeve on my left arm and it hurts like a bitch getting to the top of the shoulder.
