I’m going against popular opinion, I wouldn’t be too concerned with the minor imperfections, I have had tattoos heal like that. It looks like he had a very heavy hand, it hurt pretty good huh? I wouldn’t
be embarrassed or ashamed with that tattoo but I wouldn’t go back to him either.

Im not concerned nore embarrassed about it, I still like the tattoo just a bit disappointed one side is a thin line the other is a little blown out and yeah tbh it hurt like hell!

A healed tattoo is never quite as bright as a fresh one because a new layer of skin grows over it, but should still be the same colour. You are going to have to go back for a touch up to fix where the colour ‘fell out’. In general touch ups are free (except hands/feet/face). You are also probably going to have to either have the outline made thicker or add some background to disguise all those blown lines.

It won’t be fully healed for several months, but after 4 weeks it will be healed enough to be touched up.

Good luck.

Many thanks for the reply, I’ll wait until the scabs of gone then I will go and see them.

i would go back to them now. voice your concerns straight away so they know its coming when its healed up.

bepanthen etc are good to assist healing but you shoudl apply a very thin layer only. just enough to be absorbed only.

If there is any chance/indication of it getting infected etc then visit a doc and your artist asap to get advice form them directly.

Hi
I already contacted them last night and spoke to them about my concern, aslo talked today to them but they are still not worried and saying it just needs to heal and can take another 2 weeks or so even longer depending how the body heals. Iam using bepanthen but only thing layers 3-4 times a day but its still about 60% scabbed over. I also spoke to a couple of guys who I work with and they seem to think it will be ok after its completely healed. Im hping it will and the colours should become more vibrant after its healed. I will keep you posted on the progress. Maybe its just been been impatient and paranoid after looking it up on the net.

Well that is not good as my tattoist said apply bepanthlen small amounts still 4-5 times day still which I have been, when you say blown out is that the colour coming beyond the outline? Really concerned now, will it not get to what it looked like after it was done?

So should I stop putting cream on it then?

Thanks
