hey guys,
i turned 18 last week and had gotten 2 tattoos on the day, one was a black lettering outline on my shoulder/upper arm and the other was a decent size skull with a snake through it that is fairly detailed, the skull is just shaded with black and a little white and the snake was coloured in a dark and light green(thsi tat is on the side of my calf/shin). anyways its been a week now and the black outline on my shoulder has been great, the scab has fallen off and had started falling of a few days ago. But the snake on the other tattoo scabbed up and has stayed scabbed without out sign of being ready to fall off until last nite when i noticed it had started cracking, i have lost a small amout of in a few areas and in the cracks the colour looks really really dull. i have been moisturising with protat cream 4 times a day as my artist said so i doubt i have cared for it incorrectly. i have gonte back to my artist thismorning and he said not to worry about it too much, and that besides he will go over it again when it is healed. I really hope it doesnt come to having to have the snake recoloured because it looks great as it is, has anyone been in the same boat and have any advice or words of wisdom?
Thanks, Schoey
