xcom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 itchy all over my back.... :( Still tender on a small area where they did the most color saturation... But healing well for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelAvengers Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I guess I got lucky 9 days after 7 hour half sleeve (on 2/3/15) and all peeling is gone. Was only tender for 2 days, started peeling on day 4 did not itch bad at all. 2 washings a day and lotion 3+ times a day. All of the color now looks good and no dry spots. Base on most of the responses, I expected much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsNewport Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 itchy all over my back.... :(Still tender on a small area where they did the most color saturation... But healing well for the most part. I'm not itching just yet, still in the uncomfortable phase where any kind of stretching, bending or movement in general feels like having bad sunburn slapped with a cricket bat. Yesterday was not an enjoyable day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colored Guy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I have 2 similar fresh tattoos, both on the inside of the upper arm. Both have irritations from the seam on my dress shirts. The first one done, the scab is off but the one from last week has a scab in the same place. It looks like it will be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Day 11 and I appear to be in the home stretch but the itchiness has been unreal. I literally prefer the feeling of being tattooed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsNewport Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 8 days post backpiece and no itching as yet. All healing nicely save for a few really dark black spots that are dry as a nun's chuff, but that's nothing i didn't expect. Feel like i've really lucked out on the healing for both sessions so far, which tells me i'm due an absolute bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanxcore Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm not typically one to say much about healing tattoos, but I just got the inside of my ankle done the other day and it's still swollen as hell. It seems to be healing fine otherwise, but man is it swollen and a little tender. Also had a session on my arm the other day that's healing wonderfully.

suburbanxcore Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Still a little scabby, but otherwise fine. It was definitely swollen and tender, but I guess I always forget that's been the case with my leg tattoos. My arm, on the other hand, has healed up great.

MarvelAvengers Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I feel like I'm getting off easy. Second one this month. Got the tattoo Monday night. Tenderness gone and started peeling Thursday eveningand about 80% peeled right now with zero itching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailawson Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Lucky you! Freaking winter weather got my skin so dry! For some reason my skin is not taking the gold color so well. Been a month and it's still dry and itchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3rndpt Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Had some work done Thursday, and woke up yesterday to giant flakes of purple and green skin everywhere. Oh well. This session doesn't itch the way the last session did, so I'll count my blessings and deal. I thought I was going to have to rip my arm off after the one in January.

Tight-Lines Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I had my lower leg done on Friday and am regretting it. Healing by the ankle for me is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 This tattoo is only 'fresh' in the long-term view of things, because it's healed but less than a year old. And I SCRATCHED IT today. D: It's just two very thin cuts (I think maybe the cat did it? I can't for the life of me remember cutting myself) but I saw them earlier this afternoon and made SUCH A FACE. Why! Why on one of my tattoos! I am thinking ahead to when I have more and making even more ugly faces, because god knows I am a clumsy derp sometimes. My poor tattoos.

xcom Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Day 5 and I am pealing like crazy. Healing well. Not to much itching but some. Ready for my next session... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailawson Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 You know...I really hate that second week of healing. Seems like its extra itchy this winter for me. Maybe it's the dry air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Got the underside of my buns and thighs tattooed yesterday.
