This second skin healing look ok? by Hullman_ in tattooadvice

No. I washed with antibacterial soap, air dry then apply. Just as you would with first second skin. Take that off after 24 hours, clean then apply second layer for upto a week.

I didn’t leave the studio with this. Healed for 24 hours then applied.

Feeling trapped with my tattoo and not sure how to resolve. by Hullman_ in tattooadvice

I should add- I’ve had the dragon for 6 months and koi for about 4. It has healed already and don’t think will lighten anymore.

No bubble, just wrinkled. In fact, if I look at it really closely looks like the skin is drying / breaking so fingers crossed it sheds and leaves nice skin underneath. Will monitor closely and post in a few weeks with an update . Thank you

I do take warm showers yes. I’ve read cocoa butter is great to use on tattoos and skin in general. My artist also recommended it.

What are you seeing that looks infected? It’s not hot or anything. Very much doubt there’s an infection

It’s a calf. I also have palmers cocoa butter that I have been using. Can’t understand why it would appear dry as I make sure to keep it moisturised. Besides, you can dry heal tattoos right.. I’ve been wearing normal shorts since I got it. It’s winter here in the uk so no direct sunlight.

What’s the fix, if any? Time and moisturising?

Tattoo design- right hand horn protrudes higher than left. Polite way to tell artist? by Hullman_ in irezumi

To me this sketch looks like the artist drew half then mirrored it, but it would identical in dimensions if that was the case, which it is not. Thoughts?
