I recently got a tattoo last wed and it’s healing but its now missing some of the detail in it like my tattoo disappearing in some spots I’ve never had this happened before at all 😡
She is supposed to put in the color after it heals so I’m not worried about getting it touched back up this is really annoying me
this is when i first got it done
now after
You are keeping it clean and moisturized right?
Yes I’ve been keeping it clean and moisturized , idk I have a tat on my ribs and on both forearms and it’s never done this before so idk ….
Could a shower affect it?
No I haven’t scratched it or nething and that’s what freaked me out like I haven’t don’t anything..
She said she made some line that would probably go away but don’t freak out n worry Its for something she doing with shading or something of that nature when I go and get all the color in but she said she would fix any that messes up.. So I’m hoping it it doesn’t mess up a lot… Maybe I messed up on taking care of it? Idk maybe it’s the shower that did it? Any advice for next time? And yes it scanned but I didn’t pick nething off of that I keeping it about hopefully it heals right
What kind of soap are you using? I know my shop recommends using Dial hand soap. One thing I have found for me personally is I can’t use the Dial for longer than 3 days, or else it dries the tattoo out too much. I switch over to plain Dove or Ivory soap for washing after the third day.
A shower shouldn’t bother your tattoo at all unless you’re either using SCALDING hot water, or letting the spray hit the tattoo directly before it’s fully healed. You should let the water hit above the tattoo, then cascade down over the ink. ALWAYS use a CLEAN towel, and pat the tattoo dry after after every wash.
The only lotion I’ve found that is truly scent free is Aveeno Daily Moisturinzing lotion. I was using the Lubriderm on my tiki tattoo, and kept getting little infected ingrown hairs, so I think the lotion was just too heavy. The Aveeno is a little bit lighter, and I haven’t been getting the clogged pores using it.
Good luck!
The soap is called coast, and I don’t have my water scalding hot but it is kinda hot and I don’t keep it directly on the tattoo I let it hit the side of me and spray off on it… But yeah imam try not to worry about it until I do my 2nd session with her when I get all my shading and color she will fix it w.e. Is messed up if in some spots wasn’t supposed to disappear.
