Tattoo Aftercare Peeling. Though it may be causing some discomfort it is part of the natural healing process in most cases. Peeling and flaking is usual but call us if you have concerns.
Although the average tattoo takes 1 to 2 weeks to heal we do not recommend the following activities the first month. If this is your first time getting a tattoo. For some the peeling stage begins a mere two days after getting a tattoo.
The peeling process usually starts 4-5 days after getting the tattoo and you should keep cleaning it out and caring for it very gently.
Continue applying tattoo ointment or lotion for 10 to 14 days The top skin layer over the tattoo will begin to flake off or peel like tissue paper after about a week. This is because the numbing creamanesthetic used on your brows before applying the tattoo will start to wear off and the newly exposed wound will begin. Most tattoos usually start peeling by the end of the first week. The extra peeling may happen because of skin infection.
