strange. 

all tattoos generally degrade over time - especially if they're in the sun quite a bit.

do you have a picture of when it was fresh for reference?

never seen that before, but it also doesn't look infected from back here . . .

Yeah, scabbing isn't normally related to any specific color . . . it's usually results from the tattooist "digging in". It won't necessarily hurt the final outcome - but it does take longer to heal. 

certainly not. especially from artists with distinctly different styles.

I had moles on my body which make me feel depressed sometimes. But one day I watching tattoo designs and suddenly I found an article '' can you tattoo over mole'' so when I saw I really get happy and quickly open the website like crazy. They uploaded the best ideas for those who want to get rid of moles. So I chose da design from there and now everyone admires my tattoo when they look at it.

pictures, or it didn't happen

Wow. There was ink applied where that cross scar is now?!

I've never seen that before.

My guess is your skin will heal normal, but it's gonna take a while. 

as far as the wearer is concerned = tattoos don't necessarily have to mean anything to the viewer.

looks ok from back here . . .

My tattoo had a very deep scab on it & it fell off but there’s no link under , just the mark where the tattoo was . Is there a way I could heal that up so my skin could grow back over or no?

Not enough info here . . . was you're tattoo healing and the scab was part of the healing tattoo, or did you have an existing tattoo that got damaged after healing? 

You're skin should grow back flat in any case. 

Pictures would help 100% in this request . . . 

From what you've got above - If there's something wrong with a 6 day old tattoo it would likely result from putting something on it (sunscreen) while the skin is still not fully healed. Heat from the ground isn't going to hurt it. A reasonable amount of indirect sun probably won't either. Sunscreen maybe not either - but I don't like putting anything on/in that wound for at least a couple of weeks. 

Yep. Patience. You can find someone who can re-work the tattoo into something more cohesive, but don't rush into it - and after you've narrowed down your prospects, post links to their work here. We'll help you vet. 

looks over-saturated, but not like it's otherwise unusual

am I missing the picture?

missing a picture?

Realism is tough because it can look great when it's just finished and look like a washed out dishrag 2 years later if the artist doesn't know how to get it in there good. Finding well finished work for your review is the best test of stamina. Filtered pictures can be misleading. 

welcome!

Generally, we all prefer images to literal, numeric or text tattoos. Pic a scene or event that reminds just you of experiencing your grandparents and then get that instead. 

great photos! thanks @Dan

Did you not bend your leg for two weeks? The problem is the bending and straightening, I guess. It looks like deep-fried ass. I usually dry heal, but I am going to try a little coconut oil. It's just so CRISPY.

Sorry, but nothing like that. Minor swelling for maybe a couple of days. Drove a few hours to get home after the appointment. Walked on it from the get-go. All dry-healed. 

Guess I was lucky . . . 

I've heard that before. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems with mine at all . . . 

yep. both. some geographically located by body part - some not. 

Lyle!
