Hi, New to the forum, new to tattoo.
I had the Japanese characters Mother on my left wrist, and Father on my right wrist (inside wrist).
Noticed when he did the father one, it hurt more. Also that one is much less detailed than the mother one too, thought it would be ready first.
Mother cleaned up nice, and father has a scab right in the middle. I am in week 3. Im putting on non scent plain lotion on it, seems like that one scab in the middle is a hard one.
Is this normal? Though I know everyone is different, and there is no normal, has anyone had this before?
Chris

not sure exactly whats going on but it should be completely healed by now.Go back to the studio and get them to have a look at it,if it has been done in red ink it possibly could be a reaction to the ink red is renowned for it in some people. Also im not sure about the cream your using that may be a prob as well.
