    thinking of doing a leg sleeve

    jun cha of monarch here in Los Angeles is a dope artist but his rates are minimum 6k.

    Wanted to a portrait of my son mixed with religious figures and doves (mom passed so a virgin mary would be incorporated as her name was Luz.

    Some artist i looked into had a 2yr wait and charged $200 an hour. This was back 5yrs ago or so. Might be longer wait and more an hour now.

    Yea, most of the ones in the popular shops. However, if you're looking for the "jun cha" style, you should just visit his old shop, low rider tattoo. Not sure if the same guys are still there, but they all did that style and imo most better than Jun.

    I know every artists recommendation is different but what's the best way to heal a back tattoo? Could barely reach certain areas to clean with dial soap and lotion after. And how long should you keep the plastic wrap you leave the shop with?

    Let's see the back.

    For me I just had my girl do it.

    After I left the shop, it was a batch to drive home. Lol. I took the wrap off right away when I got home and hopped into a hot shower. Used some body wash and hope I got wherever I could.

    Right away usually. Just avoid swimming pools and tanning [​IMG]  I'd wear a looser shirt though, especially during the scabbing phase to avoid ripping anything off from friction
