Tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal. There is nothing you can or should do until they heal. Enjoy your tattoo, you'll know in a few weeks if it needs a touch up. Anyone who tries to predict how a tattoo will heal is usually more Nostradumbass than Nostradamus.

Yes i gotta keep reminding myself of that 4-6 weeks. It's only more so now because the first one healed so fast like within a week with no issues. It's just now because it's a bit more slower and my job not making the healing any easier hahaha. Thank you!

Peeling usually occurs a few days after getting the tattoo, as the skin begins to heal and regenerate itself . The regeneration process involves the skin removing dead and damaged cells. As the skin exfoliates itself, a layer of dead skin cells and ink pigment peels off, allowing new cells to grow. What to do now? Allow your skin to peel off naturally. Trust the process, they will come off in due time. Moisturize your skin. Moisturizing your skin will speed up the healing process, helping your epidermis regenerate. Clean your tattoo gently. I hope it will help. I'm new on this forum but have much knowledge of tattoos 🙂
