I got my first tattoo last Thursday. I’m really pleased with it. It’s only small, three stars on the inside of my left wrist. It seems to be healing ok. It’s scabbed over. But I’m not sure what’s supposed to happen next. I’ve been putting Bepanthen on it 3-4 times a day. Is that right? Or am I supposed to be putting something else on it now?

It’s only the black lines, no colour. One of the lines looks thinner than the rest. Is this because it’s on the part of my wrist that isn’t bending as much as the rest? Because under the other lines I can see like where the ink is under my skin but on the thinner line there’s only the black scab. Is this OK?
