      Just got my first tattoo on 5 days ago on Monday.
      Its Friday night right now...got mine on my throat/upper chest.
      About a 5x5 inch size.
      It has not peeled really, but it has some redness, minor swelling, my adams apple is sore. Lol
      The surface of my tattoo is rough looking, like a moisturized scab in a way, it looks like the tattoo is getting all messed up and starting to go throught the ugly healing phase.
      Gota a patch of small white bumps around my tattoo on my neck.
      Not effecting me or the tattoo as far as i can tell.
      I been experimenting on what i react to best.
      I bought Walgreens antiseptic hand/skin soap just to wash my hands.
      I found Hustle Bubbles Tattoo Wash is good.
      I spray a light coat of Bactine Max on, let it dry.
      I apply Mad Rabbit Repair Soothing gel.
      I have Aquaphor Healing Ointment on the side. Its too thick for the first week or 2, in my opinion but many surgeons and dermatologists find it useful and effective.
      *Do Not Use Neosporin on your tattoo!*
      It has ingredients that will ruin the ink.

    I got my second tattoo 6 days ago. I love it and it isn’t peeling that badly, but it only started peeling yesterday. It’s quite small and is almost all linework so I’m sure that affects the peeling time. Anyway, I just came here to say to store your aftercare lotion in the fridge! It really helps soothe the itching, at least for me!

  • @Draisaitl0926
    @Draisaitl0926 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Just got my sleeve finished yesterday, I've had certain areas have different healing experiences but it always peels but doesn't scab. I think everyone is just different in that sense. Regardless I personally use healing ointment until I see it start to peel and I switch to lotion. During the healing process, I always make sure to dab (and not rub) whether I'm applying lotion or soap to it or if I'm drying it. And then I just use a clean paper towel and dab the excess lotion off. It's also funny because my artist applies Saniderm to my skin once the tattoo is done and has me remove it 2-4 days afterwards and use the normal healing methods after that.
    Realistically though, you should always follow how your tattoo artists recommend you care for your tattoo over the information people on the internet provide (not that the advice on your channel isn't good, but the artists know how their tattoos will heal best) and if you're unsure, just contact them and ask them.

    Black and grey heals within weeks with minimal peeling. Color starts to peel at day 4 and keeps going for almost 2 weeks. Slowing down of course when it's just down to stubborn spots. The black areas always calm faster. Color tattoos are far more painful for me to get but they are just fun also.

    Did the first session of my full chest piece 5 days ago. My artist used a second skin product and instructed me to keep it on for 3 days. I did so and compared to some of my other tattoos, this healing process has been going really well being the first time I’ve had second skin rather than plastic wrap.
    After taking it off and washing it ( in the shower under warm water very slowly and gentle ) my tattoo looked fresh and clean.
    My artist also recommended a tattoo specific ultra moisturizing cream I picked up for about $14 and it works amazingly! It keeps it moist for my entire work day.
    On day 4 the shedding began with very little itch surprisingly.
    Now day 5 the itch has increased with more peeling. Overall the best healing experience I’ve had so far.

    This is my first tattoo and it seems to be healing really well! I missed a couple of washes and work in a dirty, hot environment which initially made me really worried but I’ve been drinking lots of water and making sure not to let anything other than my clean fingers touch or rub on it. A little bit of ink came off on my white sheets while sleeping but the tattoo itself seems to be healing quickly and well regardless of circumstances! It’s just now starting to peel, started earlier today (day 3), about 66-68 hours after I got up from the chair with my finished product :) I’m very satisfied with it and the way my body is handling it!

    Just got my first tattoo. Very large color piece on my shoulder/bicep area. I started to panic because it was scabbing, cracking and getting tight. I saw flaking, peeling and ink raising up in a lot of spots, particularly red areas. I used the new skin for the first 48 hours. After removing that, I wash with Dial gold, air dry, coat with Bactine, air dry and then used Aquaphor till day 3. I swapped over to a Vasoline moisturizer with oatmeal and other healing aids while continuing the Dial and Bactine precleaning. I'm glad I saw this because I thought I was in trouble.

    I got my first one on my leg on 6th Oct. Around 1 week it started scabbing and only yesterday (16th) did it start to show signs of peeling. It's looking a bit gross at the moment, but just letting it do what it needs to! Thanks for your videos man, they've been really helpful as a first timer!

    Started peeling on day 5, finished peeling on day 16 for my bicep. However my friend got a tattoo with me the same day same place and they only peeled on day 2 and had far less skin flake off in general. Both have healed the same now and look nearly identical in terms of the ink condition :)

    Thanks for the video! I just got my first tattoo on my left forearm, Wile E Coyote riding an ACME rocket holding a Glock 17 and a Rambo knife with flames coming out the rocket, it's all color and goes from the elbow to the wrist. My artist told me to use cocoa butter but the card I was given said to use H2Ocean. I used the H2Ocean but it made it look like it was bubbling so I went back to the cocoa butter. I wash it with antibacterial soap a few times a day and pat it dry and I leave it open every day. It's a wicked tattoo and she's a talented artist, it doesn't have a lot of different colors but the lines are very crisp, the shading is awesome and it has a 3D quality to it. I hope it heals with the same pop it had when it was first done!

    Got a new tattoo on Tuesday. It started to peel on Monday, so six days later!
    When cleansing or applying ointment on my tattoos, I never rub in circular motions. I always rub the soap/ointment in my hands, and then use patting/pressing motions onto my tattoos. This has always made more sense to me and seemed more gentle. :)

    I started flaking around Day 4 & definitely on Day 5. I was given the film covering my tattoo but the black ink was dripping out of it so I got scared & took it off after Day 2 so I could have the healing process as mentioned. I use Aquaphor Healing Ointment to put on my tattoo after the shower & during the day as needed.

    I just had my first tattoo done this past Sunday and noticed the peeling on Thursday.

The colors seemed fine until today but your description of what's happening explains it.

    I got my first tattoo on the back of my right arm on Saturday, and it’s currently Wednesday afternoon. It’s a small/medium size fine line tattoo. It hasn’t started peeling yet, but I had Saniderm on it for the first 72 hours and just took it off yesterday. I’ve been using Dove unscented soap, paper towels, and CeraVe daily moisturizer. Yesterday I used aquaphor a little bit too.

My aftercare is washing it w cerave hydrating facial wash (unscented) then applying a thin layer of bepanthem ointment 1-3x a day. Once it started to peel, I switched to cerave moisturiser (unscented) :)

    Got my first tattoo a week ago. It started peeling on day 3 and started REALLY peeling on day 4. It was painfully dry, but I already know I have dry skin and have a few Costco bottles of aveeno, which seems to work well.
    It’s so hard not to touch the flakes and scabs though, because it’s just so weird! I’ve never had a tattoo before. I want to poke it all the time.
