I sent the artist pics. They told me to stop putting anything on it and let it dry out which i did. I don’t believe it’s infected either. I definitely think it will need a touch up. It seems to me like this will need a solid 4 weeks or more to heal
I wet heal so I almost never scab, but the few times that I did, they took several weeks to completely heal. It doesn't look infected, I'd give it a couple more weeks before I started to worry. Or, you could stop by your artist's studio and have them take a look.
It's awful in any profession, but especially awful in a position like tattooing because your client is so vulnerable and exposed. It takes a lot of trust on a client's part, especially a female client getting tattooed by a male. While I'm not opposed to things like politically incorrect humor or the more vulgar aspects of a tattoo shop, there's a line that shouldn't be crossed and I'm glad it's being addressed.
Went back for another session today. Made great strides of progress. Shop was quiet on a weekday. I took the gang a box of hot wings and a chocolate cake. Artist thinks we need one more touch session after everything heals to get the final blending and shading. The areas near my armpits almost had me standing up.
