Seven-Six Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I got a tattoo of my mother’s signature 3 days back and last night, I accidentally removed a small scab of it absent-mindedly while working. There is a white filmy spot compared to the rest of the tattoo. Does it look like the normal part of the healing process or do I need to get a touch up in 2 weeks? It’s the W at the beginning https://ibb.co/vdPxRs7 Edited April 22, 2023 by Seven-Six More clarity Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/13091-accidentally-removed-a-scab-of-new-tattoo-is-it-ruined/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Tattoos take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to heal, in general, so don’t do anything until then. It’s unlikely that you hurt it, but only time will tell.

oboogie Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It can always be retouched, but it may be fine.
