So I recently got a tattoo Saturday and was wondering how long it takes for it to scab up. Thanks.

It depends on how well the artist did, some tattoos will never scab up, or if they drilled you, prety much the next day

...well, you are supposed to have SOME scabs, but not like brown scabs, like when you scrape your knee or something. I've never known of anyone to not have ANY scabs.

You are bleeding, thus there WILL be scabs. However it shouldn't be, as Ghoulie said, severe scabbing.
Just take care of it the way they told you, and it should be fine. <3

I really don't understand the people who said there should be no scabbing. Scabbing is normal, and if you've ever gotten a tattoo, you would know that. It's not a matter of an artist drilling, it's the natrual process of your skin healing. neutral

No, it shouldn't scab.
If it scabs, it means your artist 'dug' at your skin, which is what most artist do, because they set their needles out only so far and ride the tube the whole time. it sucks, but it works. If they do that too hard, then you will scar (hence the raised skin after two years).
There are people who learn to tattoo differently, a sort of brushing motion, where it doesn't dig/tear your skin, and heals in a week and doesn't scab (as long as you follow the aftercare of course). I am speaking from personal experience and my PROFESSIONAL knowledge, so no need for quote-unquotes mr. MSG, I've got the license to prove it thanks.
Scabbing raises the chances of your tattoo NOT healing as beautiful as it did when you left the shop.
If it didn't scab, then you got a great quality tattoo that will last LONGER and look BETTER.

Yeah, you'd know about beautiful tattoos wouldn't you? xd
Personally, I'd get a great tattoo that scabs a little (Because blood does equal minimal amount of scabbing) rather than a shitty tattoo that doesn't scab at all.

Dried blood is pretty much scabbing. Scabbing happens when you bleed. To stop the bleeding, your skin scabs by the blood/clear stuff drying out over the hole, helping it to heal.
