I had a 6inchx4inch tattoo on my inner arm near my wrist aswell, 4 weeks ago too. Mine didnt scab or go white, I dont no why they said it would go white! My skin peeled which is normal an then after 7 days it was nearly over with its healing.
– Dont soak it in water for the first 10 days, just damp it with a wet cloth or under a tape.
-Use Bepanthen lotion on it twice a day
-Lotion it till for a further week after its healed.
My tattoo is now perfect and ready to go, I’ve been soaking it in my bath for 2 and a half weeks now and its fine.
-This is my second tattoo so I knew what I was doing with this one.

Both artist that tattooed me were professionals an get invited to tattoo at the tattoo convention in London. So in other words there advice is right.
