It is a scab...so yes, it will fall off. Let it fall of on it's own, though--don't pick it off or you will ruin your tattoo.

Yes. Many layers of your skin must come off and then scab over in order for your tattoo to heal properly. This is a process that will happen entirely on its own. Do not peal any of the skin off. Just let it heal. Also, it is going to itch like crazy. Do not itch. I know it is hard to not itch something and it will probably drive you crazy, but don't do it. It may sound weird, but smack the area. The stinging will take away the itching for a little bit.

its not really peeling. its more like the ink seeping out and the scabs falling off. which is completely normal. and can begin about 5- 14 days after recieving the tattoo. make sure u NEVER put vaseline on it. only use A&D ointment or Bacatracin for 3 times a day for the first week. only use a fingertips worth and spread it out and work it into the tattoo. do not slop it on.. it will suffocate the tattoo which needs to breath to heal.
also after the first week-switch to a non scented lotion like lubriderm or eucerin.
apply that sparingly about 3 times a day or whenever the tattoos feels or looks dry.
good luck

Yes, this is supposed to happen. Keep applying lotion on it and do not scratch...what you're experiencing is normal...

You need to let it dry. It might be infected! See a doctor before you get a blood infection. That could be very serious.
