The artist (coralie cabibbo) who is doing my 1st tattoo did this one

So went to the convention and got another 4.5 hours in, mainly worked on the bottom half of the tattoo. progress wasnt as quick as the 1st session, so its gonna take longer than expected to finish
- retraced the dragon black lines, as they turned out a little too fine after it healed
- filled out lotus flower with color (worked with purple, blue, white inks)
- worked on the smoke cloud
 
Left to do:
 
- color in the orchids
- finish the smoke
- start and finish the dragon, probably in Black&Grey to contrast with the flowers but not 100% certain yet
 
Pictured arent top quality (colors dont stand out well) and taken a couple of days after it was done so scabbed over in places.

Yeah, that's fine. I've had some tattoos start to peel as soon as a couple of days after getting tattooed; some have taken up to a couple of weeks. It depends on the spot, the artist, and a whole bunch of other factors.  Keep on following the aftercare instructions you were given but I don't see any reason for concern.

I can tell you that this type of cyst is SUBcutaneous (beneath the skin), and tattoos are cutaneous, so one should have nothing to do with the other. As you've been told, no one really understands why some people seem to get them, but you're probably right, genetics play a role no doubt.
Looks like things are coming along nicely, and congratulations!

Update
Well I went ahead and got it started. Had my first session just over a week ago - 5 hours of work done with bout 8 hours to go. No reaction to the tattoo whatsoever.
Orchids for my daughter, and my son said "dragon". So spoke with the tattoo artist (all credit to her for the design) and this is the result so far

Not finished yet, but I already love it
