Hey I got part of my tattoo colored in about 3 weeks ago on the inner arm (it’s purple/mostly red/orange), but if you look really close (or when the sun hits it) the skin is cracked, and it’s shiny. Also it still feels slightly raw, even though it’s been 3 weeks, close to 4. I’m not gonna lie, I peeled most of it, but I wasn’t like feverishly scratching/picking it or anything like that.
I have almost a full sleeve (which I also peeled in the past, and nothing happened), so I’m just wondering did I happen to get unlucky and screw up my tattoo, or is it still healing? I hear red takes longer to heal, and also the area of the arm is more fatty. It’s been about a year since I last got tattood, so I can’t really remember how the process went, but all of my tattoos, which I all previously peeled, are all fine.
Please tell me it’s still healing… although it’s been 3 weeks! :X I’m kinda spazzing out. :confused:

It looks fine if you’re looking at it even like 2 feet away, but since it’s right in my underarm and I can see really close, that’s basically what I see (moreso when the sun shines on it)
It’s obviously enlarged because of the high pixels though, is it too big or should I take another picture?
i cannot tell at all what’s going on with that picture. Could you post a better one? As you stated earlier some people do have alergies to red ink, and it heals odd. I have red in my ribs and although i didn’t have any weird reactions to the ink, it healed differently. It got that same kind of glossy look and took a couple extra days to start looking normal. It takes about 2 weeks for me to heal a large scaled tattoo anyways, and with my ribs it guess it was about 3 weeks until the red looked right. I don’t think you have anything to worry about bro.
Sorry, here’s a decent pic. It was only 1 session though, so it still needs to be shaded in more, but I’m just worried about the cracking/shining, cause the majority of the peeling/cracking already happened and fell off, but it seems like there’s still more even though it’s been weeks.

Basically I just hope it’s not scarred… cause if the color goes in weird it can always get touched up.
Thank you, and everyone else for the replies. It’s gonna help me sleep a lot easier. lol
