Tattoo healing..is it healed after it peels?

Question

I got my tattoo done about a week ago....it peeled and everything and i have started applying lubriderm to it...is it done healing or is it going to scab up or what? what should i expect next?

Answer 1

The peeling is the scabs falling off.  Keep applying the lotion to it regularly for another week.  Then it should of had enough time to fully heal.

Answer 2

After it's peeled, then it shouldn't scab.  If it does, then something is probably wrong.  Just because it's peeled doesn't mean that it's fully healed though.  Depending on how large and how much shading had to be done over the same spots, it generally takes 2-3 weeks to fully heal.

Answer 3

It should be done

Answer 4

If it has already peeled then it should be done healing.  However, it typically takes two weeks for a tattoo to heal so I would continue to put lotion on it until the two weeks is up so that it doesn't dry out.

Answer 5

Your tattoo is basically where mine is at the moment. I got mine tattooed last Saturday. Mine is basically done peeling, but it's definitely still healing. I'm able to feel the difference in skin texture, meaning the tattoo isn't finished yet. I don't know about yours, but mine are also itchy. Anyway, still take care of your tattoo...keep using the Lubriderm and eventually the tattoo will feel like your regular skin. I'd guess about another week or so.

I got 4 tattoos! Take it from someone who knows. Your tattoo will heal after it is fully peeled off but, don't swim in a pool or Jacuzzi right away wait till it is full peeled and don't go to the beach either. The chlorine can change the color your tattoo warning! You don't want that to happen. Another thing, if your going to be in the sun a lot put some sunscreen! GOODLUCK!
