Email me at countrygrl444@live.com i need to know whats up. Thanks! 🙂
You should be following your artists aftercare instructions.
This means washing the tattoo with cool water only and lightly dabbing or wipping off blood beeds and peeling skin.
Your tattoo will “bleed” some color and peel. This is completley normal. The outer layer has been penertrated by the needle thus the skin has died and is peeling. The needle has gone far enough into your skin so that you won’t completley loose the color.
After about a week is when you notice that your tattoo is peeling and “sloughin” off the dead skin. Continue to follow the after care instructions for atleast 10 days. It will take a full month for your tattoo to completley heal.
You will not be able to get any touch ups done until the tattoo has competley healed.
If you are concerned about what’s happening with your tattoo go ahead and see your artist. It’s best to have them take a look.

if there is color on the skin that’s peeled its okay, but if you notice color missing from the tattoo itself then you’ll need a touch up. sometimes scabbing or over applying lotion/whatever can pull some color out.. but don’t worry about the peeling.
when i got my first tattoo and i noticed when the skin peeled the color was on it i got scared too but mine looks fine.

It sounds normal to me, as long as there is still color underneath the skin that is peeling off…if you have any doubts at all, you really should go back to the person that did it and ask them.

you are suppose to be peeling.
if it didn’t peel… that wouldn’t be normal.
it’s part of the healing process… don’t touch it.
