Hi i got a tattoo on my upper back from shoulder to shoulder (a cross with wings, just black with some shading) on monday night (so going on 4 nights right?) And i have to work tomorrow at 3pm est.
The tat is kinda peeling, when i woke up this morning it was peeling pretty bad but i showered and put lubriderm on it and it was good. I used a &d till thurs and started lubriderm thurs night.
it is kinda scabbed over, like just tiny ones scattered about (i notice little scab like bumbs when i put lotion on) so its kinda healed i believe. and i will call my artist tomorrow before i go to work that wont be till noon cuz thats when he opens up on sat. but i just want to get some advice before then
My question is will it be alright to put lubriderm on it before i go to work and not have to worry about my shirt sticking to it? b/c when i put lubriderm on it last night i work up in the middle of the night to me laying flat on my back and my tat was stuck to my pillow (was very very very lightly stuck) and i slowly pulled it off and it came right off with no problem and i didnt see any flakes or anything stuck to the pillow.
i work at subway so i have to wear certain shirts and my breaks only last long enough for my to use the restroom, and it takes me a little bit to apply lotion since its on my upper back. I will be working from 3-10 so i know i will need to put my lotion on it sometime or it will get too dry.
So basically my question is, will it be alright to wear a shirt to work and not have to worry about it getting stuck to my shirt and then having to shower with my shirt on to get off without damaging the tat?
I hope i covered everything that i needed to, and sorry it is such a long question.
