How does the healing/aftercare work for one of those out of interest?
It depends on how you scar, and how you want the scar to end up. The bottom line is that no matter how you regulate things, there is just no known way to producing different types of scar. You can, however, give it a push in the right direction.
If you leave it alone, it'll scar lightly and be more likely to fade. If you irritate it, it'll scar thicker and darker. You can use chemical irritants or you can just scrub it. Personally, because my scars tend to fade, but I still want a light look, I'll be giving it a gentle hassling whenever I shower with a loofa.
It's wrapped in a bandage for one day, then left to breathe. No irritation within the first few days.
I will go through all of this in a proper thread at some point, so perhaps save questions until then, so we can get them all in one place!

Where will you be getting it done?
The odd place (Zulu for example) will use a numbing spray if you're in too much pain, although I've never availed of it (yet!).
Haven't decided yet. My top three choices are all "not accepting clients at the moment". So I've had to start looking for another, that is hopefully accepting.0 -

What were your top three choices? Are they not accepting any more clients at all, or are there just huge waiting lists? Sometimes it's worth waiting a very long time to get the artist you want. 0 -

I can't remember the first one because I didn't email just saw it on his website months ago, Bill Baker from Pearl Harbor Gift shop isn't taking on any new large work and Tony Hu from Chronic Ink, emailed and the staff said he isn't taking any bookings as of yet. I'd be more than willing to wait, don't have the money for it right now anyway, but no one mentioned a waiting list, didn't even know it was an option. All out of Toronto, BTW.0 -

The numbing spray was used on me, and it works magnificently. You've got to open the skin for it to work, so you're not entirely without pain, but once it's applied and left to soak in, you feel almost nothing. You'd barely know you were being touched. The tattoo artist who was hanging about during my procedure was walking Patric through the use of it, as he uses it far more regularly. He says he usually only uses the spray when pain gets particularly intense or hard to bear.0 -

So bicep area was sorer than my side but still not all that bad. Almost dosed off a few times. I've only say for forty five minutes before so felt pretty wrecked after two hours. My arm is lovely and swollen now with a nice purple bruise starting to form around it. 0
