    Okay, so I got a 1″x2.5″ roundabout Cross on my left hand about 3 days ago for my birthday.

    I’ve been out of town for the Navy ever since.. haven’t had any way of getting any kind of lotion.

    I made the mistake of caking it with petroleum jelly today.. now it’s almost like the tattoo is “coming off” ? Scabbing or something I guess? Am I screwed? What do I do?

    Thank you. :confused:

    The scabbing means its healing.

    look a thread up from this one and it gives you some good hints on how to look after your tattoo.

    You’ll be fine, it was normal just to let it heal on its own many years ago. Vasaline will dry it out in the long run although slow the healing down a touch. You’ll be fine with it, just try to protect it from getting bashed about.
