    Did the scab fall off, or did you pick it? Well okay, you 90% sure picked it at least a little bit. Everyone does.
    A bit of a sting can indicate that the scab came off a bit too early, and the skin underneath hasn’t had time to properly grow in enough yet. That part of the tattoo is still a bit exposed. You might get a bit of a new scab on it, but it should be fine pretty soon 🙂 Probably nothing to worry about!

    Relax. Be patient. It’ll be fine. When it stops stinging it will start to itch.

    How many tattoos do you have now? Please post some pictures.

    Peeling and itching is a normal part of the healing process. Keep doing what you are doing unless it gets red and infected.
