I just got a beautiful hibiscus tattoo on the top of my foot.?

It has been 5 days and now has begun to peel. The burgundy petals on the flower are peeling away and revealing a more hot pink lighter color which is not as pretty %26amp; vivid. Will the dark burgundy color come back or will I have to go back for a touch up? Why is the color not so nice underneath?

Hey me too!!! Don't cha just love em? Mine did the same thing actually they looked pretty nasty for like 3 weeks but as of a month and a half later there is just alittle bit of touch up that needs to be done but i knew that before i even got them. Good Luck %26amp; Aloha
Reply:what's happening is the area is healing. the tattooed area has scabbed over (gross i know) and just let it continue to heal on it's own. the color that is appearing underneath will most likely be the end result. if you don't like it, just call the place where you got the tat and i'm sure they'll touch it up for you.
Reply:thats normal. Both my foot tattoos pealed like that. But your tatt is going to need to be touched up. I have stars on my right arch and they were done in turqouis and canary yellow...now they are light blue and skin tone. =*(



this was less than 2 months after it was done

Reply:its healing....in most tattoos u cant get as vivid of colors as u want unless you go for a few touch ups untill u have the color u want but 4 now jus continue to let it heal by itself and then when its healed u can go back to the place u got it at an ask or a touch up on the color
Reply:Sorry to tell you this, but tats on your feet will wear away. Your feet more than any other part of the body will shed its layers. Tats to be permanent have to go to the third layer of skin and since the feet sweat so much and rub, it will never be permanent. I work with a girl who has a terrible looking one on the arch of her foot. I first heard this in college when a friend of mine got one on the top of her foot. I do know a man who got one on the back part, near his heel and it has lasted atleast 10 years...but men don't get pedicures and stuff either.
Reply:well let the tatoo heal a little more it may change again.. make sure you have somehting on it at all time weather it is unscented lotion or a%26amp;d ointment ..if it is still a light color within about 2 weeks def call the artist to get it touched up to the color you want.. also do not scratch it or peel the skin off.. slap it and use lots of lotion.. mine didnt peel at all i had so much lotion on at all times
