hey i recently my first tattoo done and ive now had it for jus over 2 weeks and im worried about quite afew small pink bits which are in the tattoo its self it looks like scaring and im kinda worried that this wont heal. anyone with any ideasor advice to me pleas respond to this i would be most greatful.
your guess sounds about right. without pics. its tought to say for sure, but it does sound like a little bit of scarring or maybe a couple of heavy scabs that pulled out the color. it happens from time to time and if the area isnt heavily damaged you can get some color put back in there. what you want to do is get some vitamin e pills the ones that are like jelly beens filled with fluid. poke a small whole in the tablet and squeeze the vitamin e oil onto the damaged skin and massage it into the area. vitamin e oil will help reduce the scarring. give the tattoo another couple of weeks to settle in go back and see the artist and they should touch it up for free. if your really concerned go see the artist they usually want to hear feedback from customers concerning all matters no matter how small. good luck and cheers.
Take it to your tattoo artist, this kinda thing is hard to see over the internet. It can take 2-4 weeks for a tattoo to completely heal.
