I started this diary of the tattoo healing process because I assumed there would be something to report. I’d googled it a bit and I was aware of horror stories such as waking up the first morning after with the tattoo stuck to the sheets and pulling out half the ink trying to get it off. I thought there would be something of interest to report every day.

But tomorrow will be the fourth day, and surely it should have started scabbing/itching if it was going to?

(Or maybe the first full one? I’m not sure.) Anyway, this is what I was worried about last time I posted:
