How do I know if my hip tattoo is healing properly?

Just got my second tattoo. I got it on my hip. Problem is I still had to go to work so I obbveusly had to ware pants. I have been trying to keep it moist with the proper stuff but its like healing oddly.. Its still painful and I got it like 4 days ago and its like flakey yet moist at the same time..

Any advice? I have a feeling I effed it up.. And well.. That would just suck!

Answer #1

Are you using lotion? When I got my tattoo I was told to get Vaseline lotion to keep it moist.

That might help. And wearing a bandage over it while you are working might help too.

Answer #2

Well you need to avoid tight clothing and picking your scab.Also soaps and body washes can pull the ink out so be kinda careful.Just when ever you can put on some sweat pants and apply some neosporin ointment to the tat and just forget about it so that you wont be tempted to touch it which would lead to further irritation.

Answer #3

yeah I have been using a & d thats what my tattoo artist said to use.
