It's not the mark or the scar that makes you run and run and run

Hai, now for something completely different - moar tattoo talk! *beams*

Firstly, I'd like advice on the healing process - I've seen all KINDS of conflicting recommendations online. My place told me to keep the tattoo covered with a cling film (saran wrap) bandage for the first three days. Other instructions have said not to cover it at all. The cling film is obnoxious, so can I skip that? Advice plz!

Secondly, has Gerard drawn any of Frankie's tattoos???? This was just an idle dream of mine, but then sofiaviolet said she'd seen mention that he HAD, and now I want details! Does anyone know?? Halp! They're already killing me with the OTPness by being the sparrows on Frank's tummy, but Gee being the artist behind some of Frank's work would just killl me completely dead, bwee. I love them ridiculous amounts.

Thirdly, I called my daddy tonight, and I told him I got my tattoo. His reaction was basically "Oooh!" Do I even need to tell you that I love my dad anymore? Well, I don't care - I love my dad :D

Fourthly, some glorious LOTMS caps! Some involving tattoos, most just involving cuteness. I do have plans in the future for some large LOTMS spam, because there's so many random moments of adorableness that I've never seen caps floating around for, but it is almost 3 AM. Therefore this is not that night.



*pinches the pudge*


Aww, look, Frankie's pretending to be all manly like! How precious! *ruffles his hair*


Boing boing goes the Mikey! *hearts forever omg* (And I seriously have SUCH a crush on that jacket, what the hell.)


Hahahaha. I'LL KISS IT BETTER FRANKIEFACE.


"He and Toro are two of the hardest working people I know." *doo doo do do do doot CLAP!* Heeee.


THIS PART MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME, OKAY. I'M SUCH A SAP FOR THEM. <3333


SIGH SIGH. Goodnight <333

no way do you need to keep the cling wrap on for 3 days, lol. generally 2-4 hours is fine. then give it a wash with warm water and some unscented soap like dove or ivory and keep either a&d ointment or good, fragrance-free lotion (like aveeno) on it until it's fully healed. and don't scratch it or submerge it in water. :)

I have four tattoos and for each one I've only covered them for the first couple of hours and then after that just keep it moisturized with good lotion and leave it uncovered. I don't know if it depends on skin type or what, but that's what I do.

Also, I LOVE that last picture, and I cry too, every time I watch that part. They are so precious.

I've never heard of covering it with cling wrap! I mean, I only have one, so I'm hardly an expert, but at the place Bec and I went to, they put some gauze on it, said to leave it on for 1 to 2 hours, then not to cover it again, unless with clothes. And they told us to get cream (specifically Bepanthen, which might be a British thing? It's diaper rash creme, haha!) and to apply it twice a day for 2 weeks.

Yeah, I'm gonna echo what everyone else has said and say that you shouldn't cover it with wrap. Leave it uncovered and keep it moisturized, but don't be rough with it. Let it go through the scabbing process and be gentle with the lotion, no hardcore rubbing, even when it itches. Other than that, it's really gonna take care of itself. Mine was healed and scab free within a week or so. :)

OH GOD, AREN'T TATTOOS THE BEST THING EVER? \o/

"He and Toro are two of the hardest working people I know." *doo doo do do do doot CLAP!* Heeee.

That is my favorite moment in all of LOTMS. DORKS.

[idle-graffito.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha I agree XD ...Oh no, maybe it's the part where Gerard's all stoked about his Mummy T-shirt and Mikey's like "DOES IT COME IN SMALL???!?!?!!" and Gerard's holding the shirt up to himself and for some reason he says, "Mummy - you know."

...Yeah, I kind of watch this DVD too much.

Lovin' your relevant icon.

Hahahaha! Oh Ways! Their complete inability to speak like normal human beings, yet understand each other makes me happy.

I watch it too much, too. :D

I had a band-aid for a day after I got my first one. My friends just got matching ones on their feet and that guy said they didn't have to cover them at all. The only thing we were both told was not to get them wet.

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

The last picture! IT'S KILLING ME! Just looking at Frankie breaks my heart

[the5thmarauder.livejournal.com]

FRANKIE HURTFACE IS ADORKABLE.

[suckmyglock.livejournal.com]

I don't think he did. I asked that question in bandfandom_ref but nobody answered me so I think it's just fanon.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Sigh! Ah well. Tis lovely to think about :D

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

Aw man, I have such a thing for boy arms and hands, and Frank's are really quite outstanding with all those tattoos. The weightlifting, omf, my brain, it is dead.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. The way the tats arc over the curve of his bicep, and how his veins are popping out... in a word, yes. Ngh.

Okay so, hello! I'm friending you because this is one of my favorite MCR moments in history:

"He and Toro are two of the hardest working people I know." *doo doo do do do doot CLAP!* Heeee.

I laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME I see that. And I clap with them because they are so freaking adorkable.
