White Tattoo Healing??!!

3 messages · last activity 2/22/2007

I got a small celtic knot done in white on my left pulse exactly two weeks ago. The scab fell off 4 days ago, but the tattoo itself is pretty pinkish still. How long until its just normal white?
by the way, it was my first tattoo so any and all advice would be appreciated... i used bacitracin for the first two days and then just plain old lubridurm 4 times a day (still doing that...)
Was it done all white? If so, take a peek through the archives for tons of talk about white tattoos. It takes about a month for skin to completely heal, give or take a week or two depending on the skin/tattoo artist.
