Help! Tattoo peeling weirdly and painfully despite my best efforts

[MrDankRanchero]

I recently got a tattoo about 5 days ago at this point and its been normal up until it started to peel in some spots its peeling normally but in other spots it got gooey and it sloughed off my arm and it was deep im worried that it will continue to get worse ive been cleaning it once or twice a day with just warm water and hand moisturizing hand soap and using an unscented lotion

everything you're describing sounds completely normal for a healing tattoo

Most tattoos take 4 - 6 weeks to heal. All the worrying and hand-wringing and pearl-clutching that goes on before it's healed is a waste of time. Unless it looks infected, just let it heal.
