what usually happens when you get a cut . . it scabs over. I take it it was your first tattoo.
Dont pick the scabs it can pull the ink out. Use a& d ointment for the first 48 hours then switch to lubriderm FRAGRANCE FREE blue stripe lotion. It will stop scabbing in a week or so, depepending on how much ink you got put into it. I just got my sleeve finished and its still flaking 2 weeks later.

Even though xavier was kidding i agree w/ him, getting it inked would take away the yearly tradition so either every year you could make it thicker, or darker, etc. i have one i add to once a year, kind of the same. Plus red ink fades quicker than the darker inks so if you ended up not liking it if you get it fine enough you would prolly barely notice it after a few years, but it would be there just enough for you, and thats who really matters w/ this stuff.

Yeay! i was getting gloomy about the fate of tattoos so thank you for putting thought in 🙂
