Looks awesome man, I like it!
I'm big on only getting stuff with meaning. Sitting through this was hell, when I tried to sleep last night I actually felt vibrations in my chest, it was odd.
And thanks guys. My morning was kinda iffy, but you cheered it up.
It's slowly looking better. I'll post a photo when its healed, that one really isn't doing it justice.

take good care of it, use the lotion and all that jazz they told ya because the first couple days/weeks of care can help it look sharp for a while. It looks a great.
They didnt tell me much, they had a card that i lost on it though. I've been keeping it moisturized, but its been spewing out little black particles a LOT. It's making me very anxious :\

Mine ruined my sheets from the blackness.
They told me to wash it with clear antibacterial soap. And not to cover it.
I was in so much pain afterwards though. I would throw up any time someone would touch it ( it was on my back).
Thats how I was yesterday. Put a KED on someone and another person brushed up against it. I freaked from the pain, and after the person was secured and out of the car I went and cleaned up. It was hell.
Just wanted to be sure my tattoo wasnt like messed up or something. First one I've had, makes you anxious.

Yea I totally understand. But its normal. Its the ink your skin couldn't absorb.
My pain went away after a couple days. It was strange. I usually have a high pain tolerance.

You two are pansies 
They don't hurt that bad.
shiroun, like Anjel said, unscented antibacterial soap then most artists will say moisturize twice a day with unscented moisturizer such as A&D or Aquaphor. It's the same thing as a wound, it does need to breath and dry out a bit, don't smother it with moisturizer constantly.
I've never had a tattoo bleed ink to the point of ruining sheets but they do sluff the ink colored scabs, that's normal.

Rib tattoos and pansies dont work well together
. Getting it hurt like nuts, but you're right, having it, it was more about the shock and "oh :censored::censored::censored::censored: someone rubbed into it", then real pain. Then again this is the only one i've got, so I'm not sure if bigger ones hurt more.

It was all black ink, so that's what went on my sheets.

When i had my initial outline done on my back it was 8 hours straight of black heavy outline. Spine i thought tickled at the very worst. What actually hurt was the love handles and rib areas.
Not sure if I want anything on my back. Toying with getting more of the same style I have on my ribs on my arm and chest though. Gonna wait a year or two before I do that though.

I feel like Ink is a generational thing. As more time passes it will be more accepted in the workplace.
Regarding the gallows humor, it's always good to have a sense of humor. Sometimes you need it just to get through...and yes of course not in front of relatives or patients.

Dont get a Caduces, it is incorrectly associated with medicine
You need a rod of asclepius, this is the proper medical device

Got 4 1/2 hours of color done yesterday. It's pretty scabby looking right now, I'll put some pics up when it heals up better.
Someone needs to tell the US Army that.
