Tattoos: Aftercare

Tattoos: Aftercare 


Within a few days of receiving your tattoo, it will begin to scab. Scabbing is the skins way of healing itself. This is normal and will ultimately help heal your skin and your tattoo. The Ink will settle into the skin. Do not pick or peel away the scabs, let the scabs fall off naturally. Premature removal of these scabs will remove pieces of skin on your tattoo and will cause your tattoo to fade faster or become blotchy. 
(An example of a blotchy tattoo) 

Any reputable tattoo artist will tell their clients to come back in after the healing process is over to go back into the shop and receive touch ups. These touch ups are to ensure that your tattoo is perfect and looks the  best it can. the touch up process is essentially getting the tattoo done all over again, same pain, but better result.
