Alan Senior Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 hey man, i’m no professional but i would give it a few more days, keep using antibacterial soap and make sure it’s fragrance free! also try A&D oinment instead of Aveeno lotion, but do not buy A&D ointment that contains lanolin. if this doesn’t work, ask your artist for advice, he would definitely know better. scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ughanxiousppl Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 If it were me I wouldn’t be putting ointment or any heavy lotions on it at this point. Those are to avoid heavy scabbing. Looks like you are already scabbing heavily. Be careful showering and don’t smother it or you run the risk of swelling the scabs and them falling off early. Probably going to take longer to heal and you may need a touch up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk SStu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Yeah, I've had scabbing like that. You'll be fine as long as you don't end up knocking or picking them off. Don't saturate the scabs with water or ointments. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcruzar Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 How did this end up healing? My day 6 tattoo is looking like this, though it's more like blisters then scabs. Did you put anything on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
