Hello offday people.

Seems my skin doesnt like light coloured ink.
When i had my first sleeve done it had lots of white highlights... which took ages to heal originaly then scabbed over and again a month later, then healed. then went shiney (scarred) But now has healed completely.

6 months ago, i had a very light blue flower done on my inner bicep/ armpit area.
(sort of arden blue colour)
This again is taking ages to heal - im guessing it has white pigment in the ink?
Its scabbed over twice.. and is very very itchy.

Any advice on how to force it to heal quicker?

Dont know how to make it heal quicker but keep the skin soft to stop the scarring

I wouldnt let it go dry otherwise it will just irritate you more, I would keep putting bepanthen on it.

As said keep putting bepanthen on it, if you leave it dry it will only be worse and itch more.

Just to add, ive had around 50hours of tattoo work done....
Im not asking how long it took your tattoo to heal or what you have used.

Black heals withing days for me.
never had any issues with red, green or dark blue either.
Only White, and light blue which i assume contains white pigment.
I havent had enough yellow done to notice a reaction to that either.
