New Tattoo + Shaving

Kenzie

I got a tattoo on 1/25. It’s not scabbed over but less than a week after getting it, it got flaky. Now it’s just itchy occasionally, but I moisturize with Aquaphor 2-3 times a day and keep it clean.

I got it on my thigh and have not shaved over it, so the area is hairy and kinda extra itchy.

When do you think is a good time to shave over it? 2 weeks?

Is it normal it’s not really “scabbed” but more flaked?
