just keep it clean with anti-bacterial soap and keep the lotion on it a few times a day, it will heal.
you could also try a light coat of https://www.walmart.com/ip/Palmer-s-Cocoa-Butter-Original-Solid-Formula-7-25-oz/602195518?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1150

Thanks, friend. 

😞 so sorry for your loss, 

Got 2 new tattoos! The only thing that worries me is that they're splitting. They were done by two different artists. Only the star wars themed one bled when it split. Now the small cracks are reddish and bruised, it's not leaking pus but it looks yellow, and the heart one is very obviously overworked but  not too concerned Abt that at the moment 😅 Im just worried itll get infected or if it is, its cracking due to dry skin but it burns and itches so so bad when i put unscented lotion on 😅😭💀 any advice is welcome. 

Said I wouldn't do my other knee. But I did. 😂  Also, I got a tattoo of my sweet Brontë, who had to be put down last week. She was 8.

I'm a mix of different styles all over my body, it works just fine for me.

Thought I'd add upcoming tattoos to this thread 🙂 
 I've had a few tattoos already this year, and I've now got some appointments coming up over the next 2 months.
April I have two bookings during school holidays (working in a school, holidays means I can snag a weekday booking finally!) . First with Kyle on the 16th for a flower on my right elbow and a seahorse just down from that on the fleshier inner elbow/forearm area). Keen for it, but it's also going to suck a fat one! 
 The week after I go back to Andrew for a full day. We're hoping to get a few more on the backs of my legs (cicada, bat, eye cloud, double ended candle) and webs added to either side of the heart that I have on my sternum/under boob area.  
 I've also had confirmation from Kyle for May 18 to add to my left arm which is now looking lonely in comparison to my right. Hoping to add a lady head to the outer bicep and fan to the elbow ditch. Just depends on time. He's fast as, but he may have other bookings around my appointment too . 
Initially I wanted the cloud on my right elbow, but Kyle is doing a flower to fit the awkward gap shape. Then I was going to put the cloud on the front of my shin, but now we're going with a semi matching/opposite  theme on the back of the legs. Just a bit of fun. 
I'll likely get my left elbow done before it gets to the awkward gap stage, to allow for more freedom in design.  Who knows, I'll probably just slap another flower there anyway 😆. 
 

very nice, I like it a lot, 
 
I need more skulls.

You can't have too many skulls!

Fancied a skull on my foot 🤷‍♂️left head space to make connect into a leg sleeve most likely

Back at the shop again today! 
Two tattoos from Binger; a flaming skull from his flash and a reverse mermaid that he drew for me. I was meant to get this last year but the universe was against me.
These are both on my right leg- lower calf and outside ankle. 
 
So bloody happy with them both! He also touched up the axe and swallow for me .
March is my birthday month, so it would be rude not to pay him another visit then😁. 
 

Thanks! I'm amused by the colour progression in the bruising today. It's not sore, but looks like it definitely should be!
 
I have also inquired about a couple specific dates for my elbow, as I've realised I'll be in town for some professional development.  Will see if it's enough time or if I just have to wait for a Saturday to come free.
Been looking at more aquatic themed ideas for the elbow. Otherwise it will be a flower. 

So Kyle had a cancellation at 2pm.... ended up going in for an impromptu elbow ditch pearl in a clam shell! 
from stencil to walking out, 1hr total!
I expected it to be horrible but it was actually fine. I just can't bend real well well at the moment 🤣
 
 

Even if it hurts, it's a small body part, so it doesn't take a long time to tattoo.

Thanks, hopefully I'm one of the ones that it isn't too bad for. Either way, I won't be avoiding it as I want them done. My sternum was easy, but the front of my thigh was shit- so who knows! 
I filled out a booking form and requested March, so we will see how we go! 

at least for me, my elbows were not too bad.Don't over think it, you might be surprised how it's not that bad.

You won't get a refund. I hope you find a tattoo artist who can fix it for you.
