Miami Ink Disappoints
"I flew to Florida for vacation & decided to get a tattoo at Miami Ink. On TV they are so nice and jovial. When I walked in they were RUDE?!! I could not believe I just drove three hours to get dumped on! And as I walked around Miami Beach there were much more Talented artist there nicer and about one third the price. I have to say I will never watch Miami Dink again and neither will the people that rode to Miami with me or the people they tell how RUDE they were. Don't believe what you see .P's They made a*#es of themselves and they didn't even try." - yahoo1963

Switching From Ointment to Lotion
"A year ago I got a tribal shoulder piece. I admit, I got a little ointment crazy and over did it, so it scabbed too much and hence I lost some color. Five days ago, I had the tat extended down my arm to the elbow. I am using Tattoo Goo this time and am VERY happy with the results. Here's my question: When should I switch from ointment to lotion? Should I do them both at same time? I've read WAY too many suggestions, and it's hard to sort them out...any advice?" - wltdnfaded

First post: And you were surprised by your treatment at the rockstar headquarters??
Second post: As for ointment/lotion….ASK YOUR TATTOOER AND FOLLOW WHAT THEY SAY. It is infuriating when you give aftercare and people ask their ‘expert’ friends and take off on some other regime. YOU TRUSTED YOUR TATTOOER WITH YOUR SKIN, TRUST THEM WITH THE AFTERCARE.
I ALWAYS USE RITE AIDS A&D OINTMENT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.
I reckon the best healing solution is bepanthen and cling film, wash ur tattoo morning and night apply bepanthen and cover with cling film, do this for 3-4 days and you will barely scab (even with tribal) this is the best advice i ever got from my artist
