yeah, not seeing the work when finished and not knowing how you have been taking care of it, I cant tell much,

alot of time people have trouble obn feet because they simply cant give the body part enough quality healing time because they have to go back to work or school and have to cover the new work and it get irritated or holds too much mositure,

but it sounds like your piece was over worked, unfortunate, because it can scab and fall out and even in extremes it can be so chewed up it takes a long time before it can be touched up or reworked,
sounds like you didnt scab but you are just taking an extra long time to heal becaue of over working

whever doing a knee, elbow, hand, foot I try to look for an artist who can do my style but also has an easy hand! Im not worried about pain, Im worried about healing!

I am currently using cocoa butter in the fear its scarring so I’m using that to try and get the red pink color out. I used bepanthen for the first week but it was very very raised and crimson red. I then switched to e45 lotion for a few weeks after. I didn’t wear shoes for three weeks, but now have to work so wear shoes every day. Some of the skin peeled prematurely, could this be the pinky colour where the ink used to be held? There’s no infection, has blood tests taken last week. If I elevate my feet, the red colour drains from them and looks completely healed.

My first tattoo only took about 20 minutes to ink but took nearly 3 weeks to heal as the guy was really heavy-handed. My 2nd healed in about 10 days.

Funny you should say that, the artist went over it about three times, could this be why its taking ages to heal underneath? They took 1 hour 45 minutes each approx..

I heal better in winter, I can dry a piece out faster, summer is too moist, sweaty and hot here in the south, of my 244 hours 230 hours is from winter fall or early spring
I can begin to peel on 3rd or 4th day on most body parts,
a tough part like elbow or knee takes longer as really they dont tattoo for shit!
they may swell, fill with liquid all that good stuff,
stomach is weird peels longer takes a few weeks,
feet shouldnt take that long, but perhaps you were not able to give them enough rest because of work or school

The skin has healed over the top it, its underneath the skin that is red, could this be some scarring or tissue repairing? It doesn’t feel raised.
