Luigiboard21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hello guys, I am new to the tattoo world and joined to gain insight on how you guys think my tattoo is healing. I'm just worried and have read some forums about scabbing but idk if mine is bad or not. I've attached some pictures below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine, don't scratch it or pick scabs. Edited October 2, 2023 by Dan Luigiboard21 and Hogrider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogrider Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 And a little means a little. Too many people drown their tattoos. oboogie and Luigiboard21 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine, don't scratch it or pick scabs. It looks better now that it's healing. It's my first tattoo and im a worrier. A bigger scab accidentally came off the other day when I was lightly light applying coconut oil but I think it will look fine after it's completely healed!

I don't wanna risk petroleum, lanolin, fragrance, or thick products. I was going to use aveeno but read that oats isn't great for healing tattoos.

oboogie Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I use Kiehl's lotion on mine. No issues. You are overthinking it. Hogrider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
