    greetings all,

    So I just got a new tattoo on friday night, it is medium sized right above my belly button so its on my stomach. the guy said not to go in the water for at least 2 weeks, but tommarow afternoon may be clean and with this recent NJ flat spell I'm dying to surf.

    what do u guys think about possibly surfing tommarow? I was thinking about maybe covering the tattoo with seran wrap, or a bandage under my wetsuit. How bad of an idea is this? Will I ruin the tattoo if I do this?

    thanks- Snowy Grainius

    Intro post first....who are you?
    I mean, we know, based on your question, that you are not intelligent. After all, you were told by the tattoo morons DO NOT GO IN WATER, and yet.....you seem to disregard advice. You either are low IQ or are burned out by drugs.
    Oh, lest I forget....."have a nice day"!!!
    LOL

    Bad idea. Just don't surf. Ever againe.

    EDIT: On second thought, please do surf. Be sure to send us all of photo of your focked-up tat in a week or two, we could all use the laughs.

    why is it a bad idea? why can't someone give me some advice? i wanted to wrap something around and over the tattoo to maybe protect it, wouldn't that do something at least

    You paid a lot of money for the tat, right??
    And now, you cannot understand why it is dumb to get it wet?? Skin absorbs water. Water will dilute some of the ink and smear your tat.
    Do you get it now???

    The tattoo person did specifically give you advice, you just don't like what you heard so you're looking for different advice.

    But yeah, random people on a surf site definitely know more about tattoos than the people who make a living inking tattoo, sure.

    Legit... If you have your surf buddy masterbate and use the semen as a lotion and rub it all over your belly you should be good to go. Also it must taste like vanilla so be sure to taste test first.

    Seriously bro! Some of these guys have been here for years and btw get involved in some convo's before you start asking a lot of questions. It's kinda like making friends ... you don't just go up to a stranger and offer your board to them right? Ease your way into the forum and contribute to our community.

    Mr. Cuda (that is how you should refer to him) gave you great advice on his first post.... Intro threade!!! Maybe if you told us who you are, what you ride, pics of your wife, girlfriend, etc. things would work out better for ya.

    And know I have coffee on the key boarde.

    But seriously Snowy, how much do you bench, do you like long rides in vans, can you swim, what kind of borte, etc. etc. This here forumme has a vast wealth of knowledge, but without some basic info, you will have the curmudgeon calling you a moron, and more then likely even after. Also, listen to the tat artist and stay out of the water until the scab is off. So what is the tattoo above your belly button, hopefully doesn't say free parking, just kidding.

    First of all, what the hell kind of freak name is that you have...?! Were you anointed by wayne troll after a week in his windowless white van of ducte tape & doome?

    Next, as previously noted, post up your intro tread. And, no, don't ask mommy to help you write something special.

    Maybe it's the multi-level-cluelessness you display, butt you just reek of millenial ODC.
