Got 2 new tattoos! The only thing that worries me is that they're splitting. They were done by two different artists. Only the star wars themed one bled when it split. Now the small cracks are reddish and bruised, it's not leaking pus but it looks yellow, and the heart one is very obviously overworked but not too concerned Abt that at the moment 😅 Im just worried itll get infected or if it is, its cracking due to dry skin but it burns and itches so so bad when i put unscented lotion on 😅😭💀 any advice is welcome.

So this isn't my first time getting a tattoo, this is the smallest one I've gotten so far though. I'm pretty familiar with the healing process and this ones about 5 days old now, it doesn't really hurt although it is sore here and there. It's not red or actively leaking thick opaque pus. It is very itchy and it feels like it stretches the scabs on it when I bend my arm. But the super heavy scabbing does concern me a little bit, I've never had one scab over this much. I'm also concerned about the yellowish color from the scabs. I'm just wondering if it'll flake off eventually or if I should be worried at the look of it. I'm not sure if my artist just overworked my skin or what.
