Getting itchy!

My new tattoo/( Polynesian) tatau is coming along beautifully. It's exactly one week since it was done. There's one tiny rough bit - right in the middle of the picture - where there's a more solid bit of black ink. It's a teeny bit itchy, which is actually a good sign as it means it's healing. The only downside, for me, is that I can't go swimming until it heals absolutely, so I'm willing it to hurry up! Just need to be patient. Not pick at it and Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!

  1. Laura, love it--it looks great. I just got two new ones this summer also after waiting years to get them. The itch will pass...but it's definitely hard not to rub 'em while they're healing, no?! :)

    1. So hard! Mine has sort of a scab over the whole thing - I know that under it it's going to be pristine and I so want to peel it off!!!! what did you get?

    2. A Christian fish that looks like it's made of nails on my ribs and a seagull in flight on my back with "she flies with her own wings" written above it.

  2. When I read your title in Google Reader I thought you were going to say that you were getting itchy to do spring planting! BTW, I like it.

    1. Well, that too, Rose! But the weather has just turned again today - to rain - and I've been in bed for three days with a terrible cold - BUT I must get on with it very very soon!

  4. My lady says that's lovely! If she was ever to get a tattoo she would like something Maori. I'd like a tatoo but my lady said it wouldn't show up under my coat! Harrumph.
