I got a new tattoo a little while ago and, and I was wondering if peeling of the top layer is common?

The person said that in a few days after getting my tattoo that a thin opaque film will appear and that is normal, so I was wondering if peeling of that top layer was normal too.I got a new tattoo a little while ago and, and I was wondering if peeling of the top layer is common?
Yeah it is. It's a scab.I got a new tattoo a little while ago and, and I was wondering if peeling of the top layer is common?
That's what mine did, too. Also, I think they told me not to get it wet for 3 days. I can't remember that was five years ago.
all you need to apply is either lubricant it is all good!
yes.
Yes, the top layer of skin is going to peel, because when the needle gun was putting the ink into your skin, tiny pockets of air seep in too. This is going to make the skin on and around the tattoo basically molt, but it's okay. The main reason they want you to keep antibiotic ointment or lotion or some sort of moisturizer on it is to make sure it doesn't get infected as well as try to lessen this effect, but it will happen no matter what.
peeling and some bleeding of the ink is normal, You just had a needle rammed into your skin thousands of times, it will heal with the pretty ink inside forever :) Just put some vasaline or neosporin over it to keep it moist
yes it is!
Yeah, the skin often peels a bit. You should be using some sort of moisturizing cream to protect it though.
yes it's fine.
IT'S NORMAL FOR YOUR TATTOO TO PEAL, IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE DESIGN AND COLOR ARE COMING OFF ( BUT NOT REALLY) DO NOT PULL THE SKIN, YOU COULD PULL SOME THAT IS NOT LOOSE ENOUGH AND SCARE THE IMAGE AND PULL THE INK OFF FOR GOOD. KEEP PUTTING A%26amp;D OR A PRODUCT CALLED TATTOO GOO ON IT. IT WILL HEAL IN NO TIME
yes use moisturizer
yeah
it's just the scab that's coming off. make sure you are putting an anti-biotic ointment on it to keep infection and drying away so that the healing process won't take as long. also, don't pick at...let the scab come off on its own
i got tat 24 years ago all they told me was to keep vasoline on it i had a fit when it peeled but they do i dont know why.......i still have the tat
Absolutely. You should keep it covered with some sort of topical ointment to keep it fresh looking and stop it from peeling.
they didn't give you instructions?
