A member asked:
I just got my tattoo last week and its starting to peel a bit and also some of the ink is fading to gray. will it be okay?

Unclear question: It sounds that either the tattoo ink or the skin is peeling and the ink is fading color. The question asked misses the subject as either the skin or the tattoo being OK. Best would to be to revisit the tattoo parlor in order to get a better sense of what your expectations should be regarding the quality of the tattoo and possible complications.
