My personal process is leaving the bandage / saran wrap on 24 hours after completion of tattooing. Remove wrapping, clean with saturated paper towels (Soap and water) in hot shower, end with cold water, let the tattoo air dry for a few hours, apply saniderm with an inch or so extra on all sides in case you need to cut any edges that roll up / cause irritation. Leave on 4-6 days depending on the area. Remove in hot shower to help loosen the adhesive.

I'm glad you are feeling better. It's a lovey tattoo. 🙂

I think you're right, my expectations may have been too high, but now some initial time has passed and my feelings towards it have become a lot more positive! Thank you for your kind advice.

It happens. But if you have anxiety issues, I wouldn't get any more tattoos. They are never going to be perfect, and you won't do yourself any good obsessing over them. You will just drive yourself crazy. You have a nice tattoo there. Just enjoy it.

Dope new bat head I got the other day

yes,those feelings are 100% normal and will go away, and also,that's a badass tattoo,very nice !

I can't relate, I've never had that. However, I've heard it's pretty common. Have a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy your tattoo.
