looks like a normal healing for what it is to me,that's what happens to tattoos,they NEVER again look like they did the day they were applied.
and also this new "water color" style does not hold up as well as bold saturated colors with outlines.
I see zero scabbing. Tattoos can feel raised for a while. They are not fully healed for about 6 weeks and then take months to settle in. I don't see anything of concern
Tattoo looks totally fine and seems to be healing very well. The lightening of the colors is totally normal as the ink is now under a layer of new skin. Looks totally and completely normal.
Everyone heals differently. Just leave it alone to heal. There is nothing wrong with it. If it was purulent and smelled bad, that would not be good. It is neither of those things.
Welcome! Remember that while you are healing a little lotion goes a long way. Your skin needs air to heal so lathering lotion on it defeats the process. I use Aveno every day after my shower to keep the skin around my tattoos moisturized.
i'm not spending big bucks on big tattoos anymore...so i decided to venture down the unnecessary and slippery slope of stockpiling car parts so i can boost up my Evo.
