tattoo yellow scab
Is My Tattoo Healing Right?
A few days ago I got my first tattoo. I’ve been doing everything correctly by keeping it clean and moisturized. I know tattoos are supposed to scab and flake, however I don’t know if what is happening is considered “flaking”. Colored pieces of the tattoo have just fallen off and I can see my skin. I haven’t touched or itched the tattoo, so I don’t know whats happening. I got a tattoo of a banana and the black parts are fine, but it’s some of the yellow pieces that are falling off. Is it just that the yellow is so light that it’s hard to see the healing color coming back or do I need to get it touched up once it’s healed?
I have a tattoo of a yellow ribbon & some writing above & below it. I totally thought I’d have to get mine touched up too because it looks like the yellow is disapearing right? It’s normal! I swear. I think it’s just the yellow. Just make sure you keep applying lotion & washing it at least two times a day with unsented anitbacterial soap. Don’t over do the lotion. That can cause it to fade & make the ink smear. I promise you though, it’s totally normal. You can even go look at my before and after pictures, if you don’t believe me.
