Waxing would irritate the sin too much for immediate tattooing. Getting a tat on freshly waxed skin would hurt like fuck (more so than normal I imagine)

I have to ask… do you have to wax/shave skin prior to tattooing?

Best to let the tattooist shave the area. They usually go over it again anyway even if you do it.
Then you can drop stuff like ” I love it when a man shaves me, all nice and clean like”
Unless your all natural and like the extra hair for warmth during the cold season . Then hit it with the clippers tongue laugh

i shave my own arm before i go, i find i do a better job plus using shaving cream and a decent razor instead of just a blast of the disinfectant liquid shit gives a better result than what he does.

This video gives a good example of the razor to use

I shave my own skin, but they will go over it again anyway to be sure.

My next one was going to be a traditional ship on my calf, but this one popped up and since i found out Sara Fabel is going to be staying in Melbourne, im going to get her to do my other foot then saving for OS so its been pushed down the ladder!

That’s hilarious. My work involves going into some of the prisons and its the only place i ever see people with tatts on their necks!

I see them everyday around town.

As much as i think that prejudice against tattoos is wrong, i still dont understand why people get face/neck ones. Each to their own and all, but yeh. NOt my thing
