New Tat

2 messages · last activity 6/15/2007

Got a Tat on my inner forarm in tribue to my dad 5 days ago. . Top has a quote under neath it is the marine emblem...just the Eagle GLobe and Anchor and beneath...his name...beneath that RIP Dad...and on the left and right of the globe 1922 and 2007 to signify the times he lived. Its my first tat. Ive been following the instructions i was given to a T! But...tonight after washing it again...it looks as if its fading. The color doesnt seem to be as strong as it was couple days ago...almost as if im losing color? I do not pick at the peeling...i keep it moist with Tattoo Goo and i Wash it according. Im really worried that I messed it up...how I dont know....but again basic run down 1. Looks to be fading in color 2. Lots and Lots of unprovoked Peeling. 3. Looks almost as if certain small details are not as vibrant as when it was first done. All in all Is this normal? Or is my tat wasted?
sounds pretty norm sometimes during healing process it will appear to loose color and if ya do go back and get a touch up sound all norm though you should be fine peace don
