I think the majority of the back pain is from the rubbing off of the ink while the tattoo was going on, not the tattoo itself. My first day resulted in a lovely print on the back of my cream tank, so I attempted to use plastic wrap today, which turned out to be an epic fail. I'm only 48 hours post tat and it's itchy as can be already. I'll just have to enslave my niece, who's coming up tomorrow with her mum, for a short visit. Yay!
