What I would do would be say "goodness that hurt" (or words to that effect). Then I would get my butt to the doctor.

It sounds like a pretty deept burn.
If it is recent get to your local NHS walk in centre to have a anti baterical gause put on it as it could become infected. If the skin is peeling away and from what you can see there is no skin below then a skin craft may be needed.You can also ring NHS direct and the nurse on the line will advise

i burn't myself with an oxyacetylene cutting torch once. my skin also started peeling. my burn wasn't very bad. not enough to go to the doctor - or atleast that's how i felt. i bought burn-relief cream and put that on it. then i put neasporin under a bandage and it healed. i still have a scar, but it healed in about 3 weeks.

Never mind the tattoos, get to A&E or a doctor before your hand comes off. Keep it covered with antiseptic dressing untill you get some help or advice.

That sounds like a full thickness burn and you really need medical help an infection is your biggest problem and not the loss of your tattoos
