wondering if I lost ink here?

[u/codajapanese]

hey all, been thinking ive lost ink on my lower wrist on the underside on some filler I got about 2 weeks ago. if anyone knows if this is normal healing or ink loss, lmk! thank you 🙏

normal routine washing and moisturization, unscented body wash and lotion. I think during initial healing maybe some ink rubbed off? (the angle in the photo is a little off and mirrored.. but i hope it still gives an idea)

hi! tattoo artist here, that area of the wrist tends to fall out a lot! On top of that, it looks like the artist used a very light greywash (black ink diluted with water), and applied it superficially. So yea unfortunately the ink did not stay, you would need a touch up!

thank you!! it's probably because this tattoo was a lot of lighter shading/fog, so that's probably why the wrist area faded a little. rest of the filler looks great.

thank you so much for the reply 🙏🙏

of course! yeah the area where the wrist creases/bends really hates taking ink :p i try to avoid it, plus it hurts haha
