Tatoo Cut?

[Simpson Balls]

What happens if you get a cut on your Tat? Do you have to go get it touched up when healed?

If it's a deep deep cut than yes. I've had a few of mine scratched heavily and cut some pretty bad and they were fine.

Maybe.

I was in the fully extended bucket of a Kabota, at the top of a 16' extension ladder cutting a huge oak tree limb.
I tied a tag line to the limb and had 2 guys that were supposed to be pulling on the rope.
You can probably guess what happened...
As I finished cutting the limb and it began to fall, the 2 guys let go of the rope.
The limb fell right on the controls of the tractor and began tilting the bucket foward, dumping the extension ladder that I was on.
Before they could pull the limb off of the controls the ladder slid out of the bucket.
I managed to drop the brand new 22" chainsaw that I was holding, and wrapped my arms around the tree.
I slid down the tree about 14' until I hit a "Y" and then fell another 10' and landed flat on my back.

I was seeing floaters and had the wind knocked slightly out of me.
However, I jumped up and gave the guys a , picked up the chainsaw and cut the limb that had fallen onto the controls in half so that we could pull it off of the tractor.
Then it was break time...lol.
(The boss was not very impressed that I had thrown his new chainsaw, or that the limb had fallen onto his fairly new tractor.)

Anyway, sliding down the live oak completely shredded my right forearm.
You could barely see my ink. It had a very thick scab as it healed and I was sure my piece was gone.
To my surprise, once the scab came off my tattoo was fine.

I would suggest getting some of those butterfly bandages (I think that's the name, the tiny ones that have 2 adhesive ends and one thin inner section) and putting them on to hold it together (which is what they are for) then throw some neosporin on and put a larger bandage over the entire thing. This will reduce the size of the scar and stop it from fanning up or worming (as I like to call it when you have a deep enough cut that ends up with all the small lines on it like the segments on a worm).

But yeah, butterfly bandages, neosporin, and a larger bandage, this should turn any scar into a pencil thin line.

If it's bad enough to leave a scar, then yes.

i got a tattooed a few years ago on my neck and the next day i went to a show and into the mosh pit.... by this time i was pretty drunk, and my shirt the whole night was rubbing on my neck. it scabbed up so bad i couldnt even see the tattoo, but in about 3 weeks it healed and everything looks fine. here is kind of a bad pic, but u can still see the neck tattoo.

Tatted out? Not really lol.. Compared to a lot of guys i know, thats barely anything lol... Now when you have sleeves and so many tattoos that you can't be naked anymore, IS when you're "Tatted Out" LOL

And about the tattoos... Depends on what kind of cut? Like a straight slice, a chunk of flesh, or a scrape? I have two prison tattoos (Done with a needle and ink), and i've fallen off my bike and gotten cuts of them, and they are fine.. Generally, if you scrape over the tat, it wont cut deep enough to scrape out any ink... If you get a straight slice it most likely wont show too much, and if you get a chunk cut out, then yea, you will need it touched up...

Whats prison Tats? Does it mean you've been to prison? Also can you show us? And arn't you 14. You may regret getting them done. Also how old were you when you got them?

No he wasn't necessarily in prison to get prison tats.

I think all you need is a pen and a needle and you can do prison tats.
