I got my tattoo at Sacred Heart too, back in 1999.

Also coincidentally, it’s a heraldic lion on my left shoulderblade. Let’s be twins! Or not.

One more piece of advice: Don’t put polysporin on your tat. Its got something in it that reacts with the ink. My guy gave me something called Tattoo Goo and it worked really well. I found my tattoos healed really fast. Ask your tattoo guy about it. He may even carry it in his shop. Hope I’m of some help.

My advice to you is to make sure you DO NOT get your tattoo wet. I can’t stress that enough. I have three tats and the thing I found most useful was those ClearBlock bandaids. They work really well for keeping the tattoo dry. Just be careful when you pull the bandaid back off to make sure you don’t rip off the scab. I used to put them on just before I jumped in the shower and they never got wet. I find the plain brown fabric bandaids don’t work at all. ClearBlock is the way to go.

Shawn Hedley who, at the time, was at Sacred Heart on W 10th did mine, my rother’s, my friend Robi’s tramp stamp, and my “sister” claire’s half-sleeve of buddhist stuff/icons. Very well done and I’d recommend him. In fact, if you call around and can find him, I may pop in to see him for some touch-up on mine while I’m home next week. I’ll call Claire and see if she knows where he is now, she was back in Vancouver recently.
