Forum Discussion: Forum Discussion - 5 Week Old Tattoo Red and Faded

Sunday November 12, 2006
ktbellers writes:"I got my first tattoo - nothing crazy, just a heart on my wrist, 5 weeks ago...In the shower I accidentally rubbed off a small section of the scab. It looked like it was going to heal up ok anyway but now...that small section still has slight redness around it and has lost some of its colour. What should I do...Is it messed up?"
