the healing process in pictures:
Day 1:
The photo on the left shows the fresh tattoo. Notice a little bit of fluid (blood and lymph) near the bottom edge of the lotus. It will spend the night with a very small amount of A&D ointment and a thin clean cotton shirt covering it (right). Day 2: On the shirt you see a normal amount of ink and fluid from a new tattoo. The ointment prevented the shirt from sticking. You can see a little pinkness at the edges in the closer photo to the right. Day 3: The tattoo has a dry surface now, you can see a little bruising near the bottom edge in the photo on the right. Day 5 (left): A very thin layer of skin is peeling at this point, giving the tattoo the crackled surface appearance. In the words of the client, "This itches like mad." Day 8 (right): The healing is more or less complete, the surface layers have peeled leaving the thin shiny new skin. The tattoo is still a bit delicate and itchy. |
