I put some Vitamin E on it from a capsule tonight, so it was a bit irritated all lotions irritate me at first.

I had a cover up on my shoulder that broke into big holes and took about a year to heal and most of the ink came out. You'll be reet. I have a full sleeve and i didnt have that much swelling in that area when it was done, just a little sore for a few days. Hope all turns out well.

Thanks guys Today MUCH of the swelling is gone, and only really hurts when it's hanging and extended. Cool and the color is even less irritated today.

It happened with the VIT E, left it alone today and it's just a thin dry layer, not cracking. Give it a little cold water wash tonight and go from there. Gonna be a fun winter! TexasPT said:.

This is most prominent in tattoos on the wrist area or forearm area.

Your first night sleeping, your artist might recommend you re-wrap the tattoo with plastic wrap like Saran Wrap to sleep without the tattoo sticking to your sheets. This is generally for larger or solid-color tattoos. If your artist did not recommend re-wrapping, just let the tattoo stay exposed to air overnight. A person should avoid submerging the tattoo in water or getting the tattoo wet during the first 3—6 weeks, except for when washing it.

Scabs will often form in the first few days, and ink may still come up through the skin and need to be washed away.
