Tattoos always peel-: -proper care is bandage using antibiotic ointment, shower as usual, NO soaking in a tub. Don't scratch or pick at it. You are going through the usual post tattoo healing process. Don't panic. No alcohol or peroxide either. Also when exposed 2 sun especially if has any color, you must use very strong sun block or else it will fade & bleach out the color plus loose definition of the lines & boarders
