Color Tattoo Healing — Week 3

Settling begins — contrast returns slowly

Grey steps and color blocks start separating again as skin normalizes. Fine line may look slightly softer — judge at month three, not week three.

What's normal

• Reduced itch; skin texture smoothing.
• Black & grey mid-tones reappear after 'milky' phase.
• Light gym and normal showers OK if skin is fully closed.

Watch for — not typical

• Raised lines that stay red for weeks (possible blowout or irritation).
• Color patches that look completely blank — photo for artist review.

Call Work of Art

• Traveling home from Vegas — need aftercare product recommendations on the road.

See a doctor

• Medical concerns as above.

We share general aftercare education — not medical advice.

Las Vegas desert notes

• Desert hiking season: sweat + dust — rinse tattoo after outdoor activity, pat dry.
