No. That means it's healing. Don't pick the scabs or the ink will bleed.

Is coconut oil good for tattoo after care?

No. you want to make sure your scabs on your new tattoo are left alone. I had a new tattoo when I went to a wedding so many people hugged me that the scab was knocked off on one section of my tattoo and when that happens you loose the part of the tattoo that had the scab come off. I also suggest you follow the advice of the person doing your tattoo.

Will a Lidocaine patch help with the pain associated with Osteoarthritis?

Yes. although lidocaine patches are pricey and a little dangerous, and the pain relief is short lived. This is a transderm patch, so most people -- doctors too - don't think about how the lidocaine is delivered. The closer to the heart, the greater the chance of cardio-effects. The back, knees, elbows -- all great. but do keep in mind it does a significant lidocaine load, which can slow the heart. If you use lidocaine patches, make certain to read the precautions on the box. One last thought -- if you have kids or pets around, be CAREFUL how you disposed of the used patches. They're dangerous to leave lying around.

Why does your arm look scaly after you get a colored tattoo?

It is a scab and DO NOT pick at it because it will take the new tattoo off. I had a new tattoo damaged at a wedding when everyone hugged me and knocked a small part of the scab off. Just leave it alone and it will heal leaving a nice looking tattoo.


What happens if you don't wash your fresh tattoo?

You want to be careful of your new tattoo. If part of the scab comes off so will the bit of tattoo that the scab is over. I had this happen and lost a line on my dragon wing. I would call the shop where you had it done. They have creams and other items to help you preserve your tattoo.

Will sunscreen damage a new tattoo?

Sunscreen will give a bad smell to your tattoo. Do not apply sunscreen to your new tattoo. You may follow your artists suggestion on how to take care of it until it is healed.


What does it mean if the tattoo has a white scab?

The white scab is called secondary healing. Pretty much, it is a brand new layer of sking growing over the top of the tattoo. Because the skin is fresh and an irregular pattern to it, it will look a little funny. Do not stress about it. If you give it about a week, that layer will peel off, and under it you will have a shiny layer over the tattoo. Give that a week, and you will be fully healed up. From the sounds of it, your tattoo is healing great, but if you have any further questions, you should go to the shop where you got the tattoo to have them look at it. It is really hard to make a call on how the tattoo is healing without being able to see it.

You pierced your lip and took it out Now theres a scab How do you make the scab heal fast?

Uh, I didn't, and there isn't, but I assume you're talking about yourself. There's nothing you can do to make a scab heal more quickly. Hopefully it isn't infected (and if it is, antibiotics are the answer). Do NOT put anything on it. No harsh stuff like peroxide and no ointments like Neosporin. We all know picking at scabs just causes a new scab to form (and scarring), and letting them get blasted off in the shower or otherwise get wet and fall off does the same thing. Just leave it alone, like any other scab, and let it do its thing.
