My first time getting a tattoo was on February 12, 2018. After the tattoo was done, I was very excited. A few hours later, sweat came out of my arm and the tattoo wound itched really bad. Ten days later, I decided to get it removed because the itch was terrible. I went to a skin clinic to get it removed, the procedure was performed. After a few days, I realized the tattoo was not removed. I paid 8,000 THB ($ 251.87 ). I felt I was cheated very bad. The skin clinic advertised themselves as having the tattoo removal service. I wrote a review on Google saying they scammed me, but I didn’t get anything out of that. This was my terrible experience of getting a tattoo at the worst tattoo parlor in Phuket.
I found out my own way that I experimented with to treat the itch and the scar. I would wash the tattooed area with antibacterial soup to clean the area. The best way to get rid of the itch is to squeeze a good amount of shower cream or shower gel onto a clean bath sponge and scrub the tattoo with the bath sponge.
Pat dry the tattooed area with a clean towel and spray itch spray all over the area whenever the itch occurs. You do not need to spray the area everyday. Also, avoid scratching the tattoo with bare nails. You can always scratch the tattoo as long as you do it on top of your shirt. The tattoo will heal on its own when it does not come in contact with bare nails because our fingernails carries germs. It took me one year to stop scratching my tattoo with bare nails. The best way for the scarred tattoo to heal faster is to ignore it and only scratch it occasionally.
