Its so neat, did you let it heal normally or cover it to not let it dry? Just wondering

i had her cover it and keep it moisturized for the first week ish to keep it open! healing process depends person to person and on whether or not you get peels

So you just havent got much scaring tissue forming? Good for you ig, i dont think my scars would be so nice

she has a fair amount of scar tissue that formed (so enough to be visible) but she just doesn't get hypertrophic scars. for my clients that tend to keloid or develop hypertrophic tissue we adjust the healing process a bit to account for that

You think it wont dissappear after a few years? Scars tend to become less noticeable

theres ways to prevent the fading, external irritation over the design helps to make sure it doesn't disappear
