You don't want the scab to come off (well, you might, but it's really not in you're best interest). The scab is your body's way of healing. The scab closes off and protects the wound. The more you pick, the harder your body has to work to heal, and the more likely you are to scar. Take, for example, acne scars. The person picks and pops, ends up scabbing, picks that off, and gets a nice, pitted scar across their nose (I've been there).

Scabs are not supposed to come off quickly. If they do you end up with scars. Scabs are your flesh's way of healing. You can soften them up with Bacitracin, neosporin, or other approved ointments if they itch or hurt from shrinking but I would leave it on until it's healed if you don't want a big scar.

No, she needs to let the wounds heal at the rate they are going to heal on their own and with medicine. Do not pick th scabs. Messing with the scabs can lead to more scarring.

Its normal, it's been enough days that it can be almost done scabbing and peeling. All it means is that your artist had a light hand and you heal really well. Just keep doing what the instructions say, and enjoy your new tattoo! It's super cute, by the way.

If she picks on them there is a good chance of leaving scars and believe me you don't want that either. It will be worth not messing with these. I've heard that neosporin is good for healing these scabs and keeping away scars too.

Get aloe-vera cactus and squeeze the juice out over the wounds ... maybe add some vitamin-E squeezed out of capsules to this mix. ((all this AFTER cleaning the wounds out with soap and water and maybe hydrogen peroxide and then dry with sterile compress)) as a last step, don't even think about scab-removal ... healing is wAAAAAy too important to try to rush the process ... and if it itches, don't scratch, but put more aloe-juice on. The "real-thing" is prefereable to "aloe-in-a-bottle", but if you have to make compromises, don't worry too much
good luck

Keep moisturized like w/ coco butter. There's a process to a wound healing so "quickly is not an option.... unless you want scars . Let the coco butter work and you will be scar free I promise. Good luck

Soak them off. don't pick at them or they will leave scars! Take warm water on a washcloth and soak until they get really soft then you can wipe them off. I learned this from a doctor when my son skinned his face on the sidewalk. He doesn't have any scars now.

cocoa butter sticks work like a charm. It softens the scab and helps to remove the scaring.
