I've always had a thing for (teddy) bears. <br />In Germany people often mistake it for a hamster or cat paw, but in Canada it is immediately recognized for what it is.

I love it!<br /><br />When I was hypothesizing about my tattoo I thought for a while about the maple leaf too, but finally decided that as long as I am not officially anything related to Canada, that would be weird.

I've been air drying ;) and the lotion the tattoo artist gave me has a shea butter base - it is teh awesome. <br /><br />Still no scabbing or peeling. When (roughly) is it supposed to kick in?

He can do my next one too :)<br /><br />Just a thought in my head, cos I've got 6 tattoos... careful drying your back with towel after a shower. around about the time you finally remember to be gentle, the "scab" will be coming of anyway. And also, cocoa butter. lashings and lashings of cocoa/shea butter. Works miracles.
