Ink'd
I am so paranoid about my tattoos -- I'm searching all over the internet to find out if the way they are healing is "normal." I'm completely paranoid about ink loss, but I'm afraid to over- or under-moisturize. Also, because of where they are (underside of wrists) EVERYTHING rubs them despite my best intentions otherwise. The worst of the itching has stopped but I have some worrying scabby bits in among the crinkly bits. Not a good description I know, but it's been a LONG TIME since I had a tattoo and the last one was on my ankle in the summer, where it was neither bothered by my clothing nor in constant view.
This whole process is just 10x more maddening than it needs to be because I am paranoid and I want my tattoos to heal PERFECTLY.
The pain was nothing compared to the days of paranoia that I am somehow fucking up my tattoos and will therefore have horrific ink loss.
Tonight, by the way, will only be day 5 in the healing process. Hilary's scabs have already dropped off, BTW. :(
