    Got the Air For Logo on my left upper arm…have cared for it like a newborn for the past month…after the A&D I have been using Cetaphil and it has looked outstanding and crisp as hell…..have been using Dove unscented soap also in the shower

    Well I go on vacation like a dumb ass I used what is in the hotel……after I use it I notice that it is an exfoliating soap!!! 🙁 I looked at the tat now some of the lines look a bit fuzzy and maybe some of the color looks less than it was …what is more disturbing is it looks like some of the blue color has leaked under the inner lines…up until this F up everything looked awesome..like a sticker almost…..I didnt take the bar of soap and scrub it..just used my fingers to get a lather and washed like I normally do…so no hard scrubbing..I didnt feel any grittiness

    Did I totally f things up and if so how do I fix it..OR is its just the top layer of skin that is showing the damage and underneath is ok?

    Im so bummed out about this

    The tat was done on May 30th so a month old

    i never heard of anyone screwing up a month old tattoo before just by washing it .
    i would have thought it would be quite healed by now ..

    for better advice i think we could do with seeing a pic

    Hi

    If your tattoo was a month old it should have healed enough to survive a brush with granular soap.
    That said all ink sheds and can become a little duller with time.

    Have you torn any of the skin or muscle area with heavy exercise?

    I would suggest posting up as difficult to give an opinion without seeing it.

    My advice is keep clean and moisturise it daily.

    Take Care
