| I heard doing that for the first day can help with ink loss but the only time I've done it I couldn't tell a difference either way. Not letting a tattoo breathe for days like the guy I know, seems like it just prolongs the process without any benefit. I actually saw him today and asked him about it. He did one forearm like this and one just a dry heal. |

thats what she said JK
that makes sense, but I thought thats what the lotion was for, so it's not too dried out.
so did you just wrap your shit once a day?
leave it wrapped at night? |

yeah. i didnt use saran wrap for my leatherface piece, its was like glossy medical pads with bandage that was sticky, so no tape or anything. i only did it for 3 days like that. my only other piece i was told to wet heal was my friday the 13th and that was 3 years ago so I cant remember how i did it.
**Id still clean it twice a day, but it was wrapped all day.

i just got my first tattoo and everything was fine at first but now it is healing very odd, and it is peeling all the time even though i apply lotion often. Is there anything that you recommend?

Peeling, as opposed to scabbing, is what you want. Just don't help it along. You will see flakes of color coming off. That's normal.
