I got a tattoo about 23 days ago and at first everything seemed perfect but then I might have been over-moisturizing because at the 2 week mark I started getting little whitehead type pimples on the tattoo. I stopped using so much cream and those have disappeared. But now, for the past week or so, I've had a very odd hazy-ness over the tattoo. The color seems faded and "milky" as I've seen it described by other people and it gets vibrant again when wet, like in the shower.
Now, not only do I have what appears to be the secondary scarring that some people have mentioned (this milky, hazy effect) but I also am now starting to shed from the tattoo in white flakes like dandruff. I think this is probably normal, I've done a lot of reading, but it seems like after nearly 4 weeks, it should be past this?
I know everyone is different but I can't find any info on what I'm experiencing. At least not anyone describing it after about 10 days of the tattoo. Anyone familiar with this?
