My last tattoo was a full leg piece that took over 10 hours to complete. With so much ink being pushed I thought for sure most of it would scab over, then peel off. That’s the way it normally works. My body is covered in ink and in the past I’ve received some form of healing aid to cover the art during the time it takes to set then heal.

Unfortunately for me, most of them are petroleum based, oily, and heavy. Using those products takes me longer to heal plus destroys clothing as the oil or gels do not come out in the wash very easily.
