I want to get another tattoo on my toe. However, I have to wear sneakers to work. Will covering the tatoo during the healing process mess it up? What special precautions should I take? This will be my third tattoo and the 2nd one on one of my toes. My skin doesn’t hold ink very well so any advice that would help the healing process is greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on creams or lotions would help too.

I know that I already posted this question, but I didn’t realize that once you pick a best answer, it closes it to get answers…I wanted to see whatelse I could find out

I know how you have to go about becoming a tattoo artist, but my problem is that I have to be able to survive on my own in the process. I really, really want to become a tattoo artist and I think that I have the talent to do it! I love everything about the industry, I have tattoos and piercings, I have get along well with people already in the industry… Mainly, I am afraid that if I become an apprentice, I will have to leave my full time job, with great benefits, and get a really, really bad paying part time job and not be able to pay my bills. Does anyone have some answers or words of advice that would help me in my quest?
