it looks totally normal to me for 3 weeks old, try a little Aveeno on it a couple times a day. that milkyness will go away, that's the top layer of your skin that's causing that. Even though the peeling stopped, that should go away by 6 weeks.

no,it will not affect anything on the tattoo.

looks like normal healing to me, give it 6 weeks and it will look fine.

I use one like this,it's available from local CVS or Walgreen's,it's a little more pricey because it states it is anti-microbial.

I got a little gap filler from Greg Christian today

I got a little gap filler from Greg,love it.

after a month, yes

I have blowout in that same area, and no ! stop worrying,there is nothing you can do about it.

yes it will pass for sure,relax. can we see the tattoo ?

if it was me, I would keep a light coat of cocoa butter and wrap it with saran until the next day.Like you said the artist will clean it all anyway.

looks good !!

yep ! looks normal to me too.

they sell a "personal roll" that i use,it works for any size tattoo,you can overlap pieces, for large tattoos. https://saniderm.com/product/personal-size-10-2-in-x-2-yd-roll/

I will be there on Saturday,I have an appointment with Greg Christian. after I get the piece from Greg,that would make a tattoo every 2 weeks in a row for 3 tattoos. LOL

I have an appointment with Greg Christian at this anniversary party to get a gap filler.

well,IMO assuming you have done thorough research and believe you have found a good artist with good sanitary practice, then you need to relax and trust that person. or like was said and like I said, maybe tattoos are not the thing for you. if you are that worried about every step taken by a tattooer after you have researched a particular artist, then yes, maybe you should find another art form to get into.

or from ANYBODY !

it's all a learning process, 🙂 I never stop learning more and more about tattoos.

it's not necessarily the artist, it's just text that small will meld or look unreadable in a few years. it's just what tattoos do,

I got a little gap filler from Tim Hendricks

if you think it needs it,most artists give free touchups(remember to tip,for cost of supplies) or just leave it alone and plan your next badass tattoo. looks ok to me for what it is.

I am going to today,looks like a good one, maybe I can pickup a little souvenir piece.

I think it looks fine like that, if it's a little different than all the other chrysanthemums on other people, isn't that better ?

that's not from taking the film off to early, that's something else, how old is the tattoo ? is that scabbing ? does it hurt to touch it ? did that rash start after the tattoo was applied ? wash it with warm water and some anti-bacterial soap with the clean palm of your hand, pat it dry with a clean paper towel and put a very light coat of a good lotion like aveeno or maybe go to a doctor to see if it's infected.

for your next tattoo, the best way IMO is to use a product called saniderm,it's a medical film that you put on the tattoo after it's done and leave it on for 4 or 5 days,then take it off and it is pretty much healed,it's sanitary and holds up very well to clothing,showers,etc,etc really great stuff. this is the one I use,just make sure you have some before your next tattoo. https://saniderm.com/product/personal-size-10-2-in-x-2-yd-roll/ here are a few of the many times I have used it.these 3 all have it on in the pics.
