Hi everyone. I got a really nice tattoo about two weeks ago. Having trouble posting a pic (on my phone) so here’s a link (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxtJNySU0AAaBub?format=jpg&name=large)

Some look squished because of angle. Anyway…

I have had a few tats so I did the usual after care. Since it was a big tat, artist recommended I keep the second skin bandage on for 48 hours, so I did. Followed by a quick shower and no scrubbing, just some light washing. Then applied ointment 3x a day for 4 days.

Around this time, the small tattoos peeked like crazy. Left it alone. Girlfriend couldn’t control herself and claimed some “came off naturally” in shower. I started lotion 2-3x a day once I stopped using ointment.

Now two weeks in, and my yellow tattoo has blotches of darkned skin and blotches where you can see the true tattoo color. I’m worried about this being normal. The rest of my tats look great but this one has me worried.

Again, no pic at the moment. Will upload when I can, but any advice is appreciated.
