none, just put lotion on it about three times a day. sounds like it's healing properly.

Thats completely normal! Just use lubriderm lotion three times a day to keep it moisturized. After awhile, it'll look normal and the color will still be there. DONT PEEL OR PICK at it, that will pull color out. Let it flake off naturally.

The only thing I suggest is lotion 3+ times a day, If it really itches use Benadryl itch relief cream. After it heals completely you can see how it looks and if some of the color is faded just go in and have them do a touch up.
Good Luck.

okay, i went through the same thing when i got my tattoo. clean it everyday, i dont know what you use to clean yours, but i gently rubbed it with warm water and a wash cloth. the after cleaning it i used some antibacterial ointment. after the scab fell off it was fine, it stopped itching and everything. i dont recommend scratching or picking the scab though.

just continue to treat it, clean it and put cream on it
peeling in completely normal and the color will come back just dont pick at it, its bad

That is normal. Put Aveeno lotion on it and don't touch it!
