So all you non-tattoo people know, tattoos peel when they are healing. Like a sunburn, but less gross. This is why you put lotion on it. My tattoo is at that stage right now. For some reason it fascinates me because the peeling skin is colored. Since my tattoo is just a black outline right now, the skin flakes are black. It looks like someone chipped paint and the chips fell onto my shoulder. When I get the tattoo finished, I'll have a rainbow of blues and greens and purples and pinks, which is slightly weirder.
So if you see me rubbing my shoulder like I've got dandruff, that's why. Black shoulder dandruff.

muahaha! i forgot about that part. my last ink was on my shoulder blade, so i could barely reach it to lotion it up. i vaguely remember my other tat from 9 years ago doing that. green 4-leaf clover skin flakes.
My last 2 were on my back, so I had the boy do the lotioning. Of course he was squeemish about the colored flakes.
rrrooowwwrrrrr HAWT. Mine was green and purple
the colors will make mine so much better.
The novel I read about tattooing spent oodles of time talking about scabbing and peeling. I so wish I had the balls to get a tattoo.
