I Got New Tattoo
4 Answers
I got my firs tattoo 4 week ago. I got a small one on my forearm. I got a skin tone colored tattoo. I have been putting Aquaphor healing ointment on it twice a day since I unwrapped it. Im a tatto navouse. But it looks walked wrinkly. Is it normal for a small new tattoo to looked all wrinkly? Should change what I'm using on it? How long until I should be worried if I don't see the wrinlelynes go away? Thank

And don't pick the scabs! Picking the scabs will remove the ink underneath and create gaps in the design. It will take a good few weeks to heal properly, so be patient :-)
