Kai Lo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Okay, So with my first tattoo I read all about how it will peel on its own, not to worry, and it peeled really nice only needed a tiny touchup but was beautiful. Went back to the same guy for the next tattoo, and I didn't start to peel like the other one, despite doing the same process (keeping it out of water, dabbing, keeping it moisturized with a tattoo "serum" when needed). It seemed a bit drier, and also that it was more raised. Well the other day I notice that it peeled in 2 small sections on its own.. and looks horrible. Does it look normal? Because it peeled itself I just pulled the excess skin off (maybe shouldn't have done that, but I did with the other and it was fine), but now I'm wondering if it's ruined.. advice? I got it 5/22/18, now 5/31/18 for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC1961 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think what everyone will tell you is that's not long enough to consider it healed and that fingers are a bad place for a tattoo to stay looking good. Welcome btw Gingerninja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Lo Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 My other tattoo was on the finger and healed fine. I'm not saying it is healed, I was asking to anyone who has had something similar if it looks normal. It peeled on its own but looks... off. But I haven't had this kind before.

Dan Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 it looks normal,but it does have blowout,there is nothing you can do about that. blowout is going to happen a lot on that part of your finger. Gingerninja, oboogie and Hogrider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Every tattoo doesn't heal the same, even on the same person in the same spot. 4 -6 weeks to know what it's going to look like, but where you got it, blow-outs are very common. As @Dan wrote, you can't fix a blow-out. Gingerninja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oboogie Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's blown out. You can't fix that. Luckily, it will fade a lot anyway because of where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Lo Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 At least it seems normal and it wasn't anything that seemed weird. I'm probably weird for thinking it was weird, that's okay. Well.... even if it has a tendency to fade/ blowout where it is I just love how finger tattoos look so I'll work with it. Thank you guys!
