Thank you for your reply Mathew, i read your blog but there are still some areas I’m yet to fully understand namely:

Scabbing: I’m now coming to the end of day four and to be honest I’d expected my tattoo to be surrounded in a red painful blotch by now or indeed from the start of having it done. But so far my tattoo has come up with nothing. No redness, no painfull area. It just feels like my leg. Looks like my tattoo was just drawn on afew hours ago in pen. Nothing out of the ordinary although keep in mind i have been using bepanthan up until now to keep my tattoo moist (entering day 4). Should i stop now? Applying the bepanthan and let it scab? If it indeed will. And is that when the tattoo will blotch and swell? Or should i continue applying the ointment?
Should i let it naturally dry out and scab now? Or not?

If you know the answer let me know thank you. It would be a great help. If anyone else has an opinion of the matter please let me know i would love to hear your advice. Thank you in advance.
