LadyLu505 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I got a tattoo done 2 weeks ago and I thought it was healing fine - it started peeling after a week so switched from hussle butter to Palmers cocoa butter. It has almost finished peeling but yesterday I noticed a dark circle around part of the design? I messaged my artist and she said it looks a bit 'angry' and to go back to using the hussle butter on it. Has anyone had anything like this but then it has healed fine? The dark circle is around the middle circle of the sun, almost looks like it it meant to be there but its not! Any advice appreciated thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/9447-tattoo-having-issues-with-healing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It takes 4-6  for a tattoo to heal. I wouldn’t waste money on tattoo specific healing products; I’ve never used anything except cocoa butter without problems. See how it looks in another month. oboogie and SStu 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/9447-tattoo-having-issues-with-healing/#findComment-149701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use the hussle butter as thats what my artist recommended and I'm following her advice. I had moved on from hussle butter to cocoa butter but she told me to go back to the hussle butter. Im just scared the weird discolouration won't disappear Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/9447-tattoo-having-issues-with-healing/#findComment-149704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, you won't know anything until then; second, you can't do anything about it until it's healed.
