Luckily for me, the tat is on my shoulder so I can still sit in the bathtub without it soaking. I take a bath almost every night. Also, he told me to wear white for three days? What's up with that?

Another question... when do they start to peel? The tattoo is kinda sore (not too bad), a little red, and it's already starting to flake a bit. It kinda itches some. I thought it would be a little soon for it to peel... I read somewhere that bright colors peel sooner though.

What the hell kind of bandage did they put on you?

And wearing white makes no sense. You'll ruin all your shirts because your body is going to be pushing the ink out while it's healing.

You should be putting A&D ointment (or an equivalent of that) on multiple times a day.

I'm not sure when you'll start peeling, but if you're peeling, that's when you need to be putting lotion on it a bajillion times a day. And that's not much of an exaggeration. Once you're done with ointment, you're supposed to put lotion on it like at least 5 times a day.

You're going to get extremely itchy - DO NOT SCRATCH IT!! Just slap it or something, but if you want it to look the best it can, don't scratch it, put ointment on it, don't soak it, and put lotion on it as many times a day as you can.
