It looks like you are DROWNING that tattoo. Just use a very (meaning VERY) small amount of lotion. You don't want your tattoo to go for a swim, just don't let it dry out.
I can't tell if it's scarred,
those people telling you that it should be healed by now are wrong,
and I do know that tattoos take 6 or so weeks to fully heal,and longer sometimes.

looks 100% normal to me. what could it be ? , it's a 8 day old tattoo !
look at it again in 6 weeks,and NOT with a magnifying glass.
don't over moisturize it.
it will be fine
Thanks everyone for the opinion. Once this is done I'm looking to get a full back piecie, colour archangel to contrast /balance all that. Hopefully this is a good idea.
I was curious, so I did a little googling. The only places on our bodies that have what is classified as thick skin is places that see abrasion, like finger tips, palms and soles of your feet.
So ya, they were feeding you BS. 💩
