Don’t get it wet anymore if u can help it. It will heal with time. Some people are more prone to scabbing. I never have but my friend gets it real bad. The more u know about your own skin the better!

Wash tattoo 2x day and moisturize 2x day. For the next 2-3 weeks. That’s it. Leave it alone otherwise.

I haven’t been washing it since the 2nd day. It’s only been getting wet when I shower and I pat it dry. I moisturize it once a day. Is that too much or too little?

I’ve been trying to keep it dry since it seems to react better to that. It’s tough in the shower since it’s on my leg. I’ve only been moisturizing it when it feels like sandpaper when I walk. I noticed a white scab looking thing on a small part of my tattoo and the skin next to it. Does that sound like smth your friends have had?
