It’s been 2 weeks now all the scabs are of and it’s fine, is it safe now to scratch that area with no worries?

I just felt it today and washed it in the bath and it is completely fine.

Be careful, tattoos may appear fully healed after a couple of weeks but generally you need at least a month to be safe.

Im not an expert but I would say if its still itchy its probably still healing so do not scratch it..

I’m not itching that area because it’s itchy, it hasn’t been itchy since about day 10 (when all the flakes came off), but I was in the bath and washed all my body including the tattoo and nothing has happened, I can run my hand down it now and it’s as smooth as the other rest of my arm, no raises, no lumps, all the scabs/flakes are off.

As the others have said it may appear healed but if it’s only 2 weeks it’s not. has it moved into the new skin phase(a cloud or ‘silver skin”)?

i think with most people including myself the fact that you “can’t” do something or aint allowed to do something makes you want to do it more!! hehe
