hey ppl,
just wondering if any of u guys have had a tat that hasnt scabbed or peeled? i just got the outline of my third tat n still hasnt scabbed or peeled after a week? its a sorta fine outline as the peice will b mostly shading so wonder if outlines heal much easier seeing as they arent as big a wound? just wondering also has any1 noticed different healing rates on differnt parts of their bodies? i have a tat on my arm and one on my left leg, the recent outline is on my right leg, for me it sorta seems that the legs take forever to heal compared to my arm?
sorry for the stupid questions lol

Hi dude,
That's how mine was... never did scab, or peel or anything. 4 hours of line work, and I was still wondering if I was normal, cause nothing ever did happen. When I got color, nothing either. In fact, all I've ever experienced is that it can itch a bit, and peels a little as if I had a really minor sunburn, but that's about it. I just keep a little cream or whatever on it to keep it from drying out. Maybe you are just a good candidate for tats.

Lines tend to heal the fastest and almost always heal without scabbs and peeling. You'll notice a difference when you go back and start to get some shade and solid fill work done. A wider shader needle will irritate the hell out of the skin and for lack of a better word, 'open' it a little. Thats why you'll get the scab and peeling days later on shaded or colored pieces.
