    I had this piece inked a week ago and its gone all scabby but just over certain colours was wondering I if infected or is my body rejecting those colours. Will this be able to be fixed.

    Pictures would be real helpful……
    Infection will hurt and be hot with redness spreading away from the tattoo.

    Welcome to the forum!
    A picture would help.
    I’ve had reactions to certain ink brands, and one time I used a numbing agent I almost went to the nearest hospital. My leg was swollen for nearly two weeks.
    The Ink seemed to get real thick in my skin and only after months of “tea tree” oil and other ointments, it is now pretty normal.
    Keep us posted, and post some photos, please.

    Certain color’s scab more than others, red scabs the worst for me and orange, it is probably fine but if you post pictures we will be able to tell you for sure.

    Looks just fine. It is very important that you do not pick at those scabs and let them fall off in their own time. Some people just scab more then others. For your next tattoo I would recommend the dry wrap method of aftercare.

    No, I didn’t loose a bit of color.

    I concur with buttwheat. The “dry wrap” method works best for me.
