you obviously didnt read the stickies. what a surprise...
It's normal. your body is building new skin to replace the one that was poke a million times with sharp sharp needles. You'll see the definite product in about 8-12 weeks.
The first 3 weeks dont really show what the tat will be like since the healing process constantly changes.

| It's barely healed it can't be fading yet. Your skin is dry from healing, the colors will look lighter. Quit putting this tattoo goo you speak of on it. Just lotion right now. Let us know in a week how it looks. |

It should be alright for you - it's just the healing process  |

Semencream is the generic term for the cream used by much of the Navy on their tattoos. It's real name is Dixbutter. Been around for a long time, kinda like Bag Balm.

| what they all said. It will start to peel and look REALLY nasty and gross. Just give it time. It will heal up. The healing takes at least a month, and then the colors will still change a little bit. |
