Do you have it wrapped in something like SecondSkin? Mine rarely itched and kept color wrapped for about a week and lines for a couple of days.

Used Badger’s tattoo ointment until the itch started (day 5), which told me the actual healing process has started. Using Tattoo Goo Lotion now. It’s manageable. My skin always seems to want extra hydration after tattooing. Gets extra tight, might be due to me being a bit dehydrated.
