Hello I am looking for some advice on the healing of my tattoo. It's been almost three weeks since I have gotten it and there are areas that seem scaley/raised still. No redness has occurred however. I do notice that it is the thicker/darker areas still like this. I washed my tattoo twice a day and have applied lotion twice a day also. Does it just need more time to settle on the skin or is there something else I should do? I shared some photos, I hope it is able to be seen from them. thank you
