How to Care for a New Tattoo : Avoiding Unusual Reactions to New Tattoos

[marccayson]

A new tattoo should never peel, flake, or worse scab over. All of these reactions are pulling ink out. It happens when you let it dry out. Keep it simple. use Preparation H on new tattoos and wrap with plastic wrap. The will heal in about 4 or 5 days. No itching or swelling. I have 25 hours worth of work and worked in a tattoo studio.

what if it itches and the flaking looks like white clear skin coming off and my tatoo doesnt look shiny and it looks fadded

[realguy420]

flaking is a pretty usual reaction

how about supporting the title with some unusual reactions?
