Bent Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 So I’m finishing up a tattoo on my arm it’s a week old but it’s got a pretty deep scab I’ve had 21 other tattoos but never had one this deep so I didn’t know how to treat it.

Hogrider Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 That's not normal. Treat it like any other scab; keep it clean, at this point I don't think there is much you can do beyond waiting for it to heal and staying away from whoever did that.

Boiled Dove Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I agree with @Hogrider nothing to do but let it heal. I've had a couple of tattoos scab like that. They were both done by very experienced and and well known tattooers to the people on this board. Sometimes shit happens. I would expect a good bit of pigment to fall out with the scab but that can always be touched up or left to look even more unique. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Nothing more to do except let it heal. I had one like that last summer...let your artist know and plan for a touchup. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
