* **Submitted by: u/burtontattoos** * **Title:** [First tattoos I’ve made recently](https://www.reddit.com/r/tattoos/s/UI9EbqQlws) * **Caption:** I’m surprised to be making so many first tattoos lately. I feel like my work is pretty loud and my expectation is for most people to play it safe with a first tattoo. Truly a pleasure and grateful to see people taking the plunge into the deep-end. My name is Chris Burton and you can find me at Dog Street Tattoo in New Paltz, NY

* **Submitted by: u/yungweedmom** * **Title:** [Got my palms done today](https://www.reddit.com/r/tattoos/s/71QHnvw0fm) * **Caption:** went to Anna rispoli in claymont de :) my hands hold ink really well so excited to see how these heal
Edit: yall… I didnt want the extra E to make it spell Bee, sorry for the bad news. I hope you all can forgive me😅
also!! they’re two separate tattoos hence the words being on each hand rather than spelled left to right..
I didn’t want the W and N from slow down to be moved up a knuckle and I really love the tattoos overall.
I have a few hand tattoos including one on the side of my palm that have all healed nicely with minimal fading in 10+ years. I hope to have some good news for you all once these are healed lol
