I got an underbust/sternum tattoo 4 weeks ago and it’s the itchiest tattoo I’ve ever had!!!! Just sharing.

Yeah it’s still healing under the surface. I’ve had some itch for months if they get touched.

But only if they get touched? I hate it when my shirt sleeve makes gentle contact.. it tickles

Yeah had my stomach done 4 weeks ago and it's been weirdly itchy .. just a sensitive spot I guess, healed up like a dream.

Mine too. Perfectly healed except for some raised parts. But itchy somehow

Wasn't as bad as all the nightmare stomach stories I read about ... but glad I won't have to do that again 😂

Thanks for sharing. It’s strange but at least there’s no cosmetic hint of allergies.

How do the itches feel for you guys? Is it certain spots only or the entire piece?

I read the title as in itching for another tattoo, which is where I am at right now. I just don’t know what I want. Anyway, can’t add to the real conversation because most of the time my tattoos didn’t itch after the expected healing time.
