Realistic Tattoos and Longevity

He emphasized the importance of solid application, especially when working with color gradients, to ensure a lasting tattoo.

Tattoo Healing Process
Next, they talked about the tattoo healing process. Darwin emphasized treating the skin gently and avoiding excessive irritation. Zhimpa recommended a simple approach, advising clients to apply aquaphor two to three times a day for about two weeks. Both hosts highlighted the importance of cleanliness during the healing process.

AI’s Influence on Tattoo Design
They briefly discussed the potential influence of artificial intelligence on the tattoo industry, touching on a question about clients coming in with AI-generated designs.
