they should of givin u some cream if not then yes you need to moistorise. some poeple scab some people dont just dont pick them as u might pick off ya tat

[lordatrox]

this is gonna sound a bit weird but the best thing for a new tattoo is vaseline, it helps keep it moisturised and also helps it to keep its colour for longer once it has healed, the tattoo i had done 20 years ago still looks as good now as it did then (apart from the stretching effect from getting fat ) due to using vaseline on it while it was healing, and yes it wasnt fun going to buy vaseline as a 16 yr old lad, but needs must as they say

use vaseline, thats what helpts moisturize most tbh...should also cover it after you put vaseline on, maybe with a clear bag, thats what i did with my tat..hope this helps

u have a tat 0.o i neva saw it....

and yes moisturise it, for the first couple of days cover it with clingfilm, when u shower or bath dont scrub it, jus sorta pat it, same for wen drying it. and yes it will scab up and flake off. its normal dont worry about it. after the first 2-3 days of moisturisin it and covering it, put a thin layer of moisturiser/vascaline what eva takes ya fancy lol, over it and leave it uncovered by clothing as much as possable.

and what ever you do DONT PICK THE SCABS!!! lol
