"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Because different tattoo artists use different types of inks, it's best to ask the artist who did your work how to aftercare.

Typically you should never ever use anything with alcohol in it as it will dry it out completely and the ink will come out with the scab.

I use bacitracin for the first 3 days every 4 hours then let it air dry. Then use a very good moisturizing lotion for the next 10 days every 6-8 hours. I use Eucerin

After a total of 2 weeks let it dry and allow the scab to come off on it's own. NEVER PICK IT.

You do know you'll get the bug now, don't you? Every few months you'll get an unscratchable itch in your mind for more ink.

Welcome to the club brother.

Karma's right I just got number 8, and it's only been five years since I started.

I wouldn't say allow the scabs to come off though. Your tattoo should never scab, its should peel and flake like a sunburn. Again don't pick it at it.

Also use unscented lotions as the dyes and the perfumes can irritate it. Wash with antibitotic unscented soap while healing.
