This means "a *LOT*" - extremely extended area and-or detailed texture work... probably the latter too or the month delay would appear excess prudent. >Sounds yummy - what is it gonna be? >>Anyway, does anyone out there know how long i should wait before >>getting flogged on the new tattoo? They seem healed in about two A year. Sorry to break bad news but it would be hateful to do such work and waste it! If the tattooer says a month between sessions there is a reason: need to make sure skin is OK for further work! If you stress it with the whip you either must space sessions more apart or risk bad skin reaction. >I've done it without problems after 7 to 10 days, but it wasn't >that extensive a tattoo work, nor very heavy whippings (even a >light one feels *wonderful* on sensitized skin!). It was *caresses*, o dearest Sun of my life... though of course it *FELT* VERY "interesting". Two weeks for a "not heavy" whipping sounds OK *if* the tattoo is simple line work or flat simple areas in colour, a mite risky for complex and delicate textured (or shaded) work. But only if no further work is planned in the area shortly, I think. I would recommend against a *very heavy* whipping EVER on any tattoo. While it is not going to "remove" it, of course, it COULD mar it with scars and such. Sigh... I feel such a spoilsport! I think I'm going to work it off right now with a nice heavy *caning* on the Buddha tattoo on your arm, darling mine: with a thick cane that is not risky to break skin, just give you such a bruising *under* skin that for some time the colours of the tatoo will seem different:-). Next week I shall have a serpent done there too, but that will be black textured work so no problem if Tattoo Luca cannot judge colour balance, right? :-) Blessed be, my beloved slave, Laylah
