Hi ive had my tattoo for 10 days now the pain has went away and its itchy and alot of the scab has fell off but some parts where it bled more during the procedure are still hard and dont seem to be as loose as other parts that are scabbing, is this normal? bear in mind I had to get medication due to a skin reaction to one of the ink colours, ive had 2 tattoos before and their scabs all came of together really.
Thanks

Some areas of a tattoo are worked more than others which may cause more bleeding. The idea is to remove the fluids that accumulate after the tattoo is finished so as NOT to scab up in the first place. Heavy scabbing can wreck a good tattoo design. Try to keep it moist with unscented lotions and wait at least two weeks after no more scabbing is present to determine the final outcome of your tattoo - the lotion will help with the itching, too. It should be fine when all is said and done.

Nothing about that sounds wrong to me. If you bled more or take longer to heal due to the color reaction that is normal. Your skin is healing. Just don't scratch at the scabs left and keep it moisturized until they are gone. If you really aren't sure, call your artist or go in. They are usually the best judge of what is happening and if it's proper. Good luck!
