| Re: Getting my first tattoo.
If you get the wrist one in April it'll be well healed by the time you are going on holiday. Just make sure you put extra sunblock on it as tattood areas are more sensitive to sunlight. You might want to take whatever you're giving to put on it when it's healing with you on holiday just in the off chance it gets dry or anything.
There aren't really any issues with getting more than one tattoo in a short space of time....bear in mind the people who have 8 hour sittings to cover their backs, or get outlines done then go back 2 days later to get it filled in. As long as you are taking good care of them it shouldn't be an issue. Having said that, considering this is your first tattoo, I'd wait until your back from your holiday before getting the second one so you have experience of healing a tattoo and how your body copes with it. My first one was tiny and healed no problem, my second one was all round my ankle bones and up my calf and it was SOOOOOO difficult to heal and I wish I'd had more experience before I got it. My third was quite small and healed differently to the first too. Barely scabbed at all [ankle was very scabby] but stayed dry and itchy for an extra couple of weeks.
Hope that helps. What are you planning on getting?
