What to Do About Tattoo Scabbing?

Tattoo scabbing is a common concern in the semi permanent makeup industry. Understanding how to manage scabbing properly ensures beautiful results and minimizes potential complications.

Is Scabbing After a Tattoo Normal?

Yes, mild scabbing is typical after a semi permanent makeup procedure. It is part of the body’s natural healing process as new skin cells form over the tattooed area. Excessive or thick scabbing may, however, indicate issues such as overworking the skin or improper aftercare.

Should I Pick or Remove Tattoo Scabs?

No, never pick at or forcefully remove scabs on your tattoo. Doing so can cause uneven color retention, scarring, or even infection. Allow the scabs to fall off naturally for optimal healing and pigment retention.

How Can I Minimize Scabbing?

Minimizing scabbing starts with proper aftercare. Gently cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, pat dry, and apply a very thin layer of recommended ointment. Avoid excessive moisture, sun exposure, and strenuous activities that lead to sweating during the initial healing phase.

When Should I Be Concerned About Scabbing?

If you notice thick, yellow, green, or foul-smelling scabs, or experience swelling, intense redness, or pain, consult your technician or a medical professional. These may be signs of infection or allergic reaction and require prompt attention.

What Are the Best Aftercare Tips for Semi Permanent Makeup?

Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your artist. Typical recommendations include avoiding makeup, swimming, saunas, and direct sun for at least one week. Do not scratch or rub the tattooed area. Moisturize sparingly, and avoid heavy creams or oils. Adhering to aftercare ensures the best, long-lasting results.
