Tattoo is wrinkly and shiny after 7 days?
What you're seeing is the "brand new skin" after the old skin fell off (think of the skin you see after you skin your knee and the scab falls off). You likely didn't notice it before with others if they're not as large as the newest one. It's no longer an open wound, you don't need to wash it that often and you're just drying the skin out at this point.
Shiny wrinkly tattoo.?
okay so I just recently fixed my tattoo that's on my wrist its been abt a week and 2 days, and it pealed pretty fast, but the problem is that it looks shiny and extremly wrinkly! the shading in it is a pink and you could see I have patched were the skin isn't colored in. im thinking the guys who did it scarred me, so will it always be this wrinkly? and if I get it a darker color will it look better? any one with good advices post a comment up! and should I still be putting a&d?
My new tattoo is shiny and wrinkly, do I continue using A&D or unscented lotion?
Username is correct - A&D should only be used for the first 2-3 days. Because it is petroleum based, it will eventually start to pull out the color. Use any brand non-scented lotion on your tattoo. The shiny part is ok, that's the last stages of the healing. The wrinkly part is not ok, that means your tattoo is dry. Your healing tattoo should never be dry if you want it to look good. Keep it moisturized, but make sure to let it breathe by rubbing the lotion all the way in. Use lotion on it several times a day (so it won't dry out) until it is completely healed. Once it's completely healed you should still use lotion on it at least a few times a week - it's best to apply the lotion after you shower. Good luck.
Why does my tattoo look wrinkled and shiny?
Yea as said before it's just because it's new. You know how when you have a scab all the skin around it is SUPER tight and sometimes shiny. That's the case. It's a fresh scab basically. It will look like a scab until it's fully healed. Just lotion up after the 3rd week or so and you'll be fine. PS. AQUAPHOR is the best! Too few people use it. Aquaphor's company also makes Eucerine lotion which REALLY brings out the color in tattoos.
New tattoo looks wrinkled! is this normal?
Your tattoo is still fresh and probably scabbing. If it is then it's completely normal and you shouldn't pick at it or use any kind of petroleum jelly because it can cause the ink to bleed out. Just wash it, gently, with warm water and mild soap. The wrinkling and scabbing is part of the healing process so just let it heal on it's own. Also, since your tattoo is on your wrist, which is a place that gets used a lot, I suggest you keep an eye on it and if it's still wrinkled after at the least two weeks, you can just buy a tube of Preparation H and apply it 2 to 3 times daily for 3 days and see if that helps. But, my best advice is to get it checked by the tattoo artist who did it or another artist around since they can see it in person and tell you for sure what looks normal and what doesn't.
My tattoo is kind of shiny and wrinkled.. is this normal?
Yes as long as your not using too much lotion or ointment, that is normal and part of the healing process. You should still be following your after care instructions (for about 2 more weeks) until the shine it looks like skin, your tattoo is not yet fully healed.
My new tattoo has gone wrinkled?
I got my first tattoo done 12 days ago on the side of my calf. Whilst alot of the scabbing has peeled away now the tattoo itself appears shiny and wrinkled. It is hard to explain but it is almost as if there is a thin invisible layer over the top of my tattoo that is not held taught and is therefore wrinkled. I am worried because it somewhat resembles the tissue that is over a scar i have elsewhere on my body. I'm going to go see the artist as soon as i can to ask him about it but in the meantime, any suggestions on what this may be, how it was caused and basically how to get rid of it if possible?
How long will my tattoo be shiny? It has been 6 days since I got it. It has scabbed and peeled off, and it still looks shiny. Why is that?
That’s totally fine. The tattoo is actually still healing( the tattoo as a whole and the skin wont be fully healed for at least a couple of months) and that shiny layer is new skin which will become dry depending on you. That shininess may last a week so( such as my case). After the tattoo will look cloudy which is also normal in the final healing process.
My tattoo looks wrinkled and a little bit shiny on some parts. Is this normal or should I worry?
the shiny part is the last part of the healing process. Once the scab comes off there is a filmy layer underneath, which is the last layer of dead skin. It will probably look a little washed out and faded too through this last layer, but give it another week or so and it will just look and feel like the rest of your skin again once this layer dissapears. I agree with the other girl though 6 times a day is a little excessive, just lotion twice a day and then again if it looks/feels dry inbetween.
