I can't go to the place where she had it done now as she keeps telling me different places - I could cheerfully throttle her.
She needs to clean it twice a day with unfragranced soap (preferably low Ph) and luke warm water. Also use Bepanthan nappy cream to rub on after it's been cleaned (do this 3 to 4 times a day).
The better the tattoo artist the least scabbing. Mine was slightly raised (could just feel it with a finger) for about 48 hours. The scab on mine was just like a very thin layer of dead skin which has rubbed off now. Tell her not to pick it at all or the colour will come out.
It would be really good if you could find out who did it cos they really shouldn't be allowed to get away with a) tattooing a minor and b) not giving aftercare intstructions.
Brundog - lol @ your friend's whale! I'm getting all of mine in laces that are really easy to cover up. Also I'm being very careful and putting lots of thought into what I'm getting. If you google tattoo gone wrong there are some nightmare stories!

I was worrying about regretting it later but I thought, would I rather do something and possibly regret it later in life, or NOT do something and regret NOT doing it later in life. I chose the former. It was painful but not too bad. I was advised to put rescue cream on it and it healed wonderfully, really quickly too. I want another at the top of my spine and I want one on my foot too!

On a lighter note my hubby has a tattoo on his winkle - it says LUDO - when he's aroused it says "Welcome to LLanudno we hope you enjoy your stay!"
