Red tattoo not healing - June 6th 2013, 04:29 AM

3 weeks later and it's still not healed. It's still itchy, very rough, and it's still that translucent white color like it's still peeling. Actually, it's peeled several times. I also somehow managed to get a blister on it but I didn't pick at it, it popped on its own but now that's peeling too?

It's not my first tattoo and I was very careful taking care of it--used a light coating of A&D several times a day, switched to non-scented aveeno baby lotion on the 4th day, kept it moist etc. It didn't scab and finished peeling by the end of the first week. I did hear that red ink takes longer to heal but I'm not sure if that's just a myth...

I want to wait another week to see if there's any improvement before I call the place where I got it done. But was wondering if anyone knows if any of this is normal? Will a touch-up fix it? & The color is already starting to fade--but again, I haven't picked at it, didn't soak it in water or expose it to the sun at ALL, have been wearing loose clothing etc.
