So I had a little more work done recently on one of my tattoos, and I’ll try to blog more about that soon. Post-ink, there’s about 2 weeks of healing where you can’t swim or soak in water (omg, no bubble baths, no wonder I’ve been cranky) and somewhere in that span of time as the area heals, it will get itchy. Crazy itchy. A million ants crawling all over me itchy. Today, I itch horribly.
You can’t scratch your new tat, don’t want to accidentally make it bleed or anything like that that would pull out the color. Can’t put any kind of anti-itch ointment on there that might react in a crazy way with the ink.
When it itches, you can smack it. Slap it. Smack smack smack it.
I’ve been smacking myself so much today I look like I’m having a seizure, some sort of psychotic episode…but gawd, it feels so good!
