2 messages · last activity 10/5/2007

hi i had tattoo done on my left ankle 4 days back and now scabs has started forming...but the skin underneath is showing lighter colours and iam worried that i may have to go for retouch again.......is it too early to descide on colours? will the exact colours appear after 30 days...??? please advice.
If you have scabs, is really hard to see the ink. You should usually build up a flake, and it may seem that colors are lighter if they are dry or to hummed. Let that tattoo heal for about 4 weeks. Then you decide if you like the outcome or not. Post pictures of your current tattoo if you can.
