Don’t worry if your tattoo does scab since it’s just your body healing itself. The scab will cover your tattoo as the new skin repairs itself and the scab should fall off within a week.
If you damage the scab, it will actually take longer for your tattoo to heal and you might ruin the ink.
If you do exercise and sweat, clean the scab with antibacterial soap and rinse it. Then, pat the scab dry and leave it alone.
If you have a thick scab that hasn’t fallen off after a few weeks, you can try soaking the scab to encourage the edges to peel.
You might pull ink out of the tattoo if you pull off the scab before your skin has healed.
Try this just once or twice a day for a few seconds since it can fade your tattoo.
Avoid using hot water because it strips moisture from your skin.
Ask your tattoo artist to recommend a moisturizer. Some may suggest a petroleum jelly-based product while others recommend a natural body butter, such as cocoa butter.
After a few weeks, you can rub sunscreen onto your new tattoo if you’ll be outdoors. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB damage.

For example, if you have a colorful tattoo, but notice that only the red areas are raised or itchy, you may be allergic to the pigment, dye, or metallic substances in the red ink. If your doctor suspects an allergic reaction, you’ll get a prescription for antihistamines. This medication treats rash, redness, and itching.
