    Ok , so i had the first bit of colouring done on my tattoo like 4 – 5 days ago .

    Washed it 3 times a day and used the ointment .

    I was really pleased that it didn’t start scabbing , it looked like it was healing very good .

    But then today when i went into the shower , when i started to run my fingers over my skin some parts were feeling ”mushy” .

    The only way i can describe it is that it was like paper that got wet and started becoming pulp .

    It freaked me out because before the shower i couldn’t see anything wrong with it .

    Now i have 2 small area’s where if you look very closely you can see how much has come off and it’s a little bit lighter than the rest .

    So now i didn’t put anything on it and let it dry completely .

    It doesn’t look bad and not much damage has been done , and the area’s are starting to look a little bit like a snake shedding skin .

    So what do you guys suggest i do now , because my skin is feeling pretty tight right now .

    Do i keep using the ointment for a couple of days longer or should i start with the lotion ?

    And what do i do in the shower with the soft skin ? Do i gently rub it off or just don’t touch it ?

    Thx alot

    Hi Gish

    Some loss is expected as the skin is peeling and will shed excess pigment – don’t pick at it.
    You are ready to start on the none scented moisturiser which will relieve the tightness and itching.

    Take Care
