perfectly normal keep doing what you have been doing so far, when you hit the crazy itchy stage of healing try your best not to itch it, let the scabs come off on their own.

It is normal its healing from the inside out. The outside gets really dry sometimes before the tattoo fully heals. It can be itchy too, try not to itch it!! You want the scabs to fall off by itself.

I have five tattoos one of which is a arm band, it is normal for the scabs to fall off along with dead skin, best thing is keep it moist with lotion

one thing...did you use a triple anti baterial lotion for the 1st few days? I hope so...you do not want an infection.
apply the lotion after you clean with anti bacterial soap and dont use a bath towel to dry, use paper towels and pat...and do this 3 times a day.
if it itches and you must...slap it..dont rub, pick at it or anything like that...

maximum do scab over, do no longer peel the scab away. you need to pull the ink out and reason it to vanish or blur. sparkling it the way he informed you to, and if that's nevertheless puffy in a pair of days, pass see the tattooist back to make effective that's healing precise. (he will comprehend, and that's extra fee-effective than a dr's appointment.)
