Default question about scabbing.

I got my tattoo 5 days ago and it's scabbing up quite a bit and peeling off naturally. other parts are still scabbed pretty heavily.. i just don't want to risk infection. what are signs to look for in infected tattoos?

i'll post up a picture when i can.

Hi

If you click on my blog tattoo aftercare it will tell you the signs there.
Also do a search on infection on the forum plenty of threads covering it.

Take Care
Matthew

its quite normal for some areas to scab a little more than others . mine is like that on areas i have a couple of colours mixed together
unless its very painful or has gunk coming out from under the scab i would not worry too much
