Absolutely this. I’ve always been advised against soaking my tattoos by a few different tattooists. You want to try and keep scabbing to a minimal, and if you do scab you want to try and not knock them off/pick. So to soak the scabs, make them all soggy and then I remember she was brushing them off

I think that lead to a lot of the colour coming off.
I haven't checked this all day, spent the day on a windy walk with my boyfriend & puppy, nearly got blown away but was fun!
But yeah gonna also chime in on the tattoo chat despite being late, the fact she soaks them makes me so uncomfortable! I have 8 myself, a mix of Halloween flash, larger cute/spooky ones & some Studio Ghibli pieces

All on my legs bar 1 & I was always so super careful not to get them soaked & leave the scabs, everyone's advice is different but I doubt her artist said to soak them is fine!
She does seem the type to sit there & pick at any scabs or dry bits & I can't see her applying anything on them either. She is so careless with something that is on your body for life, at least a long time. She truly baffles me!
And yeah she could've gained some respect by talking about Max, guess it's asking a bit much of Helga to talk about something besides herself
