One week later

It's been 8 days since I got the tattoo now! It is still peeling and looks sort of wrinkly but I spoke to my mentor and he said this is normal and after its not pealing it'll heal and become nice and smooth. The colour faded a bit, sadly, but that's what I expected. It is more of a very dark blue now. I don't regret getting this tattoo whatsoever and most people that have seen it have really liked it. My priest said it looked nice too, which was a huge relief since I was worried that he might be disappointed that I didn't get a small coptic cross like most get. I'm learning to be patient right now and just give it time to heal without being too concerned about it (even though it gets itchy sometimes!)
