Ten year Tattoo!

Curly Cath

Member
Time of past OR future Camino
Pamplona to Santiago 2013 hiked
Planning on cycling the Portuguese route in winter
It's ten years today since I first set out on my first pilgrimage

Apparently they are addictive!!

I got this tattoo to celebrate

Am waiting for my right foot to recover from surgery so I can do the primitivo next, God willing :)

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Tänään tulee kuluneeksi kymmenen vuotta siitä, kun lähdin ensimmäiselle pyhiinvaellusmatkalleni

Ilmeisesti ne aiheuttavat riippuvuutta!!

Otin tämän tatuoinnin juhlimaan

Odotan oikean jalkani toipumista leikkauksesta, jotta voin tehdä primitivon seuraavaksi, jos Jumala suo:)

If/when I complete my next Camino, I would like to get a small tattoo on my ankle.
As tattooing comes with some risks, I'm looking for the best of shops in either Santiago or Muxia..
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I thought about this then realised since I live in Manchester and could explain far better in English what I wanted I would do it here. I am really pleased I did because it's my first tattoo and I had not realised there is quite a lot of aftercare. Washing, sterile cleaning, wrapping in cling film for the first 24 hours repeatedly, frequent washing and putting balm on for the next few. I was told about after care that lasts between 10 and 14 days. I naively had no idea! I would have found this really difficult whilst staying in albergues
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

When in Santiago check out Sagrada Corazon Tattoo's. I was happy with their work and returned to update my tattoo with the same artist a second time. Also, check online. They have good reviews.
Buen Camino
