What to expect

A tattoo looks most vibrant when it is freshly done

As it begins healing, it may appear shiny, dry or start peeling. Peeling is normal and shows up mostly on pieces with lots of color/shading

Healing Color:

Colors sometimes look lighter in their healing stages. When it's fully healed, the true color will present itself.
