Approximately 2 weeks ago, I got an epic tattoo of a Sailor Moon brooch on my arm. It was beautiful the first week and a half! I took proper and didn’t miss a beat in making sure my tattoo healed perfectly…

Now, the scabs have flaked off (I DID NOT PICK THEM!) and now it looks like this:

Is this normal/Will the blotches go away?!

Those look like blowouts. The line work is pretty wonky also. Find another (more experienced) artist to fix it up once it heals.

yup, blown out, scabbing pulled out alot of color………….definately find a different artist and have it redone, give it plenty of tiime to heal first, several months if you can wait

I would definatly agree with what the others have said, just look after it until it heals properly and then get a new and more experienced artist to fix it for you.

I sometime’s got this with my ink in the healing process but when it was healed it looked nice a crisp. It might be blow out’s im not saying it’s not im just saying wait for another 3week’s to see what it look’s like then.

Yep just needs a touch up. Wait a month and go back and get your free touch up. The blowouts have nothing to do with the loss of ink just not a very good tattooist.
Go back get it touched up and for your next tattoo do a little more research on picking an artist.

Have a great day
