Yeah, the “ugly phase” of the healing process where it’s looking dull and flaking usually freaks people out after their first tattoo. I know it did for me. It’s like a snake molting with shedding one layer of dead skin and redeveolping a new one where it will look good again.
Yeah going through that now, flakes of dead skin make it look disgusting in places.
also, it is okay if when washing it and applying moisturiser flakes come off, i know not to peel or pick it, but wasn’t sure if them coming off whilst washing/moisturising is a bad sign
