What to do if your tattoo peels off

Nowadays, many young people who pursue individuality or want to commemorate a certain event will choose to get a tattoo on a certain part of the body to achieve their own goals. But tattooing is not a one-time thing, and various minor problems may arise, such as avoiding infection after tattooing. Another common problem is that tattoos will cause skin peeling. So what causes this?

The tattoo healing process usually involves three shedding cycles. The first shedding cycle is a thicker scab, which is sometimes colored and is normal. After that, a thin scab will fall off, which is your current stage. Once this thin scab falls off, it will basically heal, but a very thin, almost transparent layer of skin will also fall off. After that, it will be completely OK. During this process, do not tear it with your hands, let it fall off naturally. During this process, you just need to pay attention to moisturizing the tattooed area. Generally, when it itches, you can just spray some water on it. After patting it a few times to stop the itching, apply moisturizer. During this period, just apply the medicine provided by the tattoo shop, and never buy ointment and apply it yourself.

Tattooing only damages the surface of the skin, not a surgical procedure. Do not over-care for it, as it will prevent the skin from healing naturally. Don’t touch or pick at things for no reason. I’ve seen many people whose wounds didn’t recover well because they paid too much attention to them.

During this process, you must pay attention to moisturizing the tattooed area. This is what I do. When it itches, I spray it with water (the kind of moisturizing face spray used by girls, available in cosmetics stores, no need to buy expensive ones. Note that the alcohol content should be low, otherwise it will take away moisture), pat it a few times to relieve the itching, and then immediately apply moisturizing lotion (anything you want, Johnson's baby or Vaseline is best). During this period, except for the ointment given to you by the tattoo shop, do not apply any erythromycin, Bactroban, etc. on your own.
