I just got my neck tattooed last sunday and it hasn't been a week yet and its been peeling like crazy since Tuesday! I have 3 other tattoos and none of them were peeling like this. I wonder is because i have sensitive skin or because of something else.

All tattoos peel during the healing process. Dead skin cells, and excess ink shed during the first few days. Keep it moisturized but not overly. You're fine.

that's perfectly normal, the skin on your neck is sensitive and all tattoo's peel, your shedding excess dead skin cells. Make sure you keep it moisturized it sounds to me like maybe you aren't keeping it moist enuff if it dries out too much that can cause more peeling, I have found using curel lotion works the best. Good Luck!!!!

I've never heard of one peeling. As you know they scab up and eventually the scabs fall off. Why don't you give your tattoo artist a call back and ask if this is normal?

skin on your neck is extra sensitive so yes it is normal
if you notice anything else weird, i would go back to the tattoo parlor and make sure everything is ok with it.

Just keep ointment on it. It is normal for tats to peel, but I have one on my neck and it never peeled.

Are you keeping lotion on it?? You need to keep it moist. If the color is all there, then just keep lotion on it, it could also be because of the colors. If you notice the colors peeling away go to where you got it and see what they think.

Yea its normal its just healing faster. It happens on some parts of the body its just your skin regrowing. Continue to take care of it the same way.

Peeling is okay, just keep lotion on it. If it's tender, use Neosporin or something like it.
