Hope I can get some advice here. About three days after my last tattoo session, I scraped the hell out of it!! I guess it was just bad luck but I scraped it up against the underside of a laminate counter top. The light layer of skin / scab was just starting to form and of course right after I scraped it she started to bleed pretty good. I put a warm compress on it to get the blood off of it without getting it too wet but it scabbed pretty hard anyway. It's been just over a week now and the scabs are pretty much gone but just wondering if there is anything I should do to help it heal quicker. It's still healing underneath and I can feel it's kinda lumpy under the surface. Really upset me as it was the third session of a half sleeve and I am supposed to go back in a few days to finish it.
Like to add that I have been getting tattoos for 25 years and giving them for over 20 years but I've never run into an injury on a tattoo on anyone much less my own. Generally I'd just say leave it alone but this was more than a normal heavy scab on a tattoo. This would have been a pretty good scrape had there been no tattoo there at all. Luckily it was only over about two square inches spread out over about four square inches of the tattoo and not the whole thing.
