Default I got my first tattoo on my wrist last Friday (5-9-08) and now it's starting...

...to scab, how long will it last? I HAVE FOUR STARS ON MY WRIST AND THEY ALL ARE COLORED. HOW LONG SHOULD I EXPECT THE SCABBING TO LAST ON THEM?

I have 8 tattoos and the scabbing usually last anywhere from a week to two depending on how big the tattoo is

the scabbing will last approximately Caps Lock Minutes


but then again, I've seen it last Caps Lock Weeks as well
so Caps Lock Caps Lock Caps Lock

and have an excellent day




P.S.
if you want an answer other than Caps Lock
try searching for the answer
or going with my guess of 120 hours

P.S. Don't pick at the scab, just let it do its thing!
