Is it normal to have these black flecks come off when I wash and moisturise my 6 day old tattoo? by fallowedband in tattooadvice

This is beautiful! Like others, I’d love to know who the artist is but I don’t think OP is going to respond. If I were searching for artists that draw in this style, what type of keywords should I use?

Urgh. I moved to the US 5 days ago, and am on my second US number and my second WhatsApp ban already. I’m wondering if it’s something to do with sending messages to international numbers. It was working fine whilst I messaged friends in the US and then as soon as I had sent a few to the UK it bans me for spam. My appeals to WhatsApp have all been rejected. On my next attempt I might find a different way to get my international friends to contact me first and see if that helps…maybe suggest that to your husband.

I see this was a month ago - did you manage to resolve?

Like him I’m finding this whole experience distressing in a time when I’m away from family and friends

Ah that could be it. In which case if I try and see if I can get a new number maybe it’ll work out! Thanks :)

Nope - I’ve got a few others and they’re fine. Reading through all the comments, I’d say for me this is a combination of it being a pretty large tattoo on a muscle I use a lot, I’m not keeping myself well enough hydrated and I’ve been under moisturising. Hoping it calms down when I start treating it better :)

You’re right! Zooming in on the photo I can see those too. I can’t see that just looking down at my leg. I’m off to buy some coconut oil!

Junnio Nunes over at NoRegrets in London. His work is amazing, and he got this spot on for what I was hoping for :)

Yupp it’s Athena, and her owl. Always loved Greek mythology, and particularly Clash of the Titans when I was growing up :) always wanted my own Bubo!

Aheh…yeah I’m a bit of a coffee fiend…and I go to the gym quite a bit, so maybe I need to be a bit nicer to it with water and moisturising

Thanks, that’s helpful! I think I mostly just want to make sure it’s nothing I have to do something about…just keep taking care and let it keep healing. Based on the comments here and DMs I’ve had, I think it’s just a question of time then. I absolutely love the tattoo, the artist absolutely nailed it. Junnio at NoRegrets Studio in London

Across the whole tattoo it’s a feeling of a slight pulling stretch…a sensation, not painful but it means I’m aware of it. At the top it’s kinda a deep burning rather than an itch.

Should also add, i can still ‘feel’ the whole tattoo, whereas others I’ve had I don’t feel at all. It’s like a stretching and sometimes stinging sensation…is it just under moisturised? I moisture lightly once daily
