Is This Normal?! | Tattoo Healing, Super Close-Up | INKADEMIC

- Yes, this is normal. Have you ever wanted to see REALLY close up just how a tattoo heals? Or, perhaps you want to know if those scabs you have mean it's healing well or poorly. Or, maybe you're just fascinated by how skin works. In this video, we take a look at my own most recent tattoo session and follow the healing process daily to examine what's normal, standard tattoo aftercare and healing. But, more than that, you get to see extreme close-ups of just what the skin looks like when it heals! Whether it's skin health, tattoo aftercare, or just gross scabs you're into, enjoy.
Warning: it can be a little bit gross. Well, maybe weird is a better word to use. Skin is weird. It's also awesome. It's nothing explicit but our own bodies can be so, so strange.

How does this match your own healing speed? Does your skin scab and peel in the same way while healing? Share below!
Yup
I healed very quickly from my two first session but they were dot work with some sparse regions/negative space. I only had to cover it for 48 hours and was 'dry' after that. I still covered it but with a cloth bandage just to prevent contamination. It went through a peely stage like sunburn for a week. The whole thing including time to heal was like a bad sunburn. My new work is denser so am anticipating more scabbing though. In terms of full healing - I'd say about 3 months when it has gone through the silvery stage that scarring usually has before its reached is equlibrium - in the case of black work when it no longer looks more black than older (but not much older) black work.
I'm not brave enough to do a dry heal. 😬
@@Inkademic Looks like heavier work than mine though - I won't be dry healing until Friday - even then I'll cover during the day. I usually wear a long-sleeved compression shirt over it when exercising, less chafing and it goes straight in the wash, but not doing that until its dry.
@@somesortofdeliciousbiscuit3704 Yeah, the sleeve consists of large areas of very heavy solid black. A hard heal but worth it!
This guy talks in lowercase
perfectly normal
subscript
You love it.
This may be the best comment I’ve ever seen on this app
I literally was just thinking that
This guy is like the Bob Ross of tattooing with that voice
Every vid I watched I see a comment like this. I got my first tat yesterday on my forearm and started watching him and he’s really helped a lot for me
Happy little dead skin cells....so true...ha!!
This is gold dead on 😂
Lol
Yes! very soothing ahh
This guys voice is so relaxing to hear
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
Trueee!! He should record bedtime stories lol
Totally agree! So relaxing for soms reason
I thought i was weird finding his voice so relaxing so I had to come to the comments to see if I wasn’t the only weird one lol
Weird topic
The way he says "i love you and i never want you to be alone" he's like the dad i never had
Jeez, mate. Your voice is like a glass of warm milk before cuddling in bed in a warm blanket on a snowy winter night. Its cozy and nice. Yeah, i'm jealous C:
Aw, shucks. ☺️
I agree to the point of the snowy night bit.....around here that typically means Blizzards. .....but he's the voice I want to hear saying " just stay inside and the plows will be out in the morning !!!!!"
lol yes! thats funny, super calming soothing foresure!
90% of the comments are about his soothing voice.
10% of the comments are about tattoos.
I aint complaining 😂 best informational/relaxing video. 🤍
Come for the info, stay for the chill. 😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is perfectly normal
His voice is so reassuring. I’m getting my first tattoo this Saturday and I’ve been pretty nervous. This video is so helpful! thank you for posting this.

@nessnessa00 how did it go?
Please never stop making videos, dude. As someone with terrible anxiety but loves getting tattooed, you’re the only person I’ve found that makes me not freak out about every part of the healing process. I saw someone else say you’re like the bob ross of tattooing and they hit the nail on the head. Keep going, man.
Thank you! :D
I quickly skimmed over your sub count and thought it was 960k but then I saw again and realized it was only 960. I’m appalled you make content this good and you aren’t huge. Keep up the great work!
Aw, thanks! I keep meaning to get back into creating but a) I'm on vacation, and b) this pandemic is really sapping my creative juices. Hopefully more soon!
When he said '' ᵖᵉʳᶠᵉᶜᵗˡʸ ⁿᵒʳᵐᵃˡ ''
I felt that
Hey I just wanted to personally thank you for these videos because I have an anxiety disorder but I also really love getting tattoos. Everytime I got a new tattoo I couldn't even focus on anything but what could happen if i did or didn't do something for weeks. I've seen this video multiple times and since the first time watching it, it has helped me so much to aliviate my anxiety and feel comfortable with my tattoo and how it heals. I hope more people get to see such great content!! Thank you
Thanks so much for this info definitely answered a lot of my questions and made me realize that my healing process has been going more normal than I had thought!
Hey man, love your videos, they were of great help to me. Side Note: You should start your own meditation podcast; your tone and personification are super relaxing!
I actually started a channel for ASMR guided meditation and the like! czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
Man this was so comforting. I have a bunch of tattoos and I’ve never had a bad experience with healing but still, every time i get a tattoo I really care about I get so anxious about the healing process. This was very good at putting those worries to rest!
Wow you sir seem so reliable. Just got my first tattoo a week ago and i have been watching your videos for days. Tons of help! Made the tattoo journey like a normal medical precesiour.
Im thinking about getting a tattoo, This is really reassuring actually
i finally got one and i didnt expect it not to hurt so kinda disappointed
Sage-mode Naruto where did u get it how big and how log were u tattoing
It's been a while... how'd it turn out?
@@privatniprofil5762 due to covid i havent been able to get out and get one 😪 ive put a date down to get it in october though!
Wong person smh
Getting my first tattoo for my birthday and watching this helped so much and you're relaxing voice make me feel so much better about getting it.
Tomorrow I'm getting my first tattoo and this is making me feel safe. I'm so nervous I can't sleep. Thanks, life, for the existence of this human being.
I got my first one just this saturday, go sure of the tattoo you'll get and be calm you'll find it is not much pain as many people says. Depending On the área probable wont hurt at all. Mine is on the left pectoral
It's easy to get inside your own head before your first. I agree with Julio, basically: if you're sure you want it, it should be something to look forward to (but that doesn't mean it won't make you anxious, given it's a brand new experience and, regardless of what anyone tells you, it will hurt at least a little bit, somewhat like drawing on a sunburn with a toothpick).
@@Inkademic Thank you for the kind response and the uplifts 💜
@@carolinahuerta7408 how did it turn out? How was your experience?
@@guitarofdestiny It was awesome, everything went great! It is easier than you think. In my case, It hurts like hell, almost 3 hours of pain but at some point, you stop minding about it, pain comes and goes depending on the area of the tattooing. I had a 7cm idea but my tattooer convinced me to go bigger and now I have a 20 cm piece of art in my leg, I don't regret it at all the artist In choose is very talented so he did magic haha. It healed very quickly because I was very meticulous about the aftercare, I followed every single instruction of my tattooer and the recommendations I researched, the peeling started within a week and It was itchy as hell for almost 4 days but I never scratched, for me that is the worst part of the aftercare, trying not to scratch, sometimes the itch woke me up in the middle of the night of how bad it was, nothing that a little bit of tattoo balm can fix. It was almost healed by the second week and now It's perfect. I still wash with antibacterial soap and moisturize with tattoo balm once a day, when I reach the month I'll start showering normally as always :D
I know this is an older video but this actually made me feel good about my new tat. Thank you. Definitely earned you a subscriber.
Too bad he stopped posting though
Hey man! This content is amazing and so helpful! I’ve wanted a tattoo for YEARS and I found your videos and wow! I feel like all the questions I’ve had were answered. Keep up the good work! You’ve got a fan for life right here!
Thrilled to hear it! Thank you 😊
THE chillest voice ever! Just read books to me and my life will be complete. I got most of my latest tattoo yesterday but I wish I had found his channel the night before last when I couldn't sleep because my nerves were getting to me so bad.
I really needed a talk with my therapist and weirdly this soothed me so much. You sound like him and I really appreciated it :)
Usually my tattoos take pretty much exactly two weeks. Sometimes a couple days more. Great video by the way. Keep up the great work.
Back in the day I used to do A&D for one week and then lotion for one week but I really like the convenience of using the clear dressing instead of getting ointment on everything. 😅 And thanks!
I thought I was the only one going through the peeling, especially since I never used healing cream I only used lotion. you answered all my questions man bless your heart
I've been getting tattooed for decades and, still, every time, I look at how my most recent work is healing and think, "Is that okay?" I'm glad this helped. 😊
I got my first tattoo two weeks ago and I loved the healing process so far. It's nice to see how it changes every day. And gladly I've been healing it quite well.
I'm getting my first tattoo here soon and I'm super nervous. This helped a lot and your voice is incredibly calming!
i like this, your videos are so reassuring and cover most things a person new to tattoos are worried/curious about (at least for me). so nice
As long as it's backed up by the research out there, I want to make folks aware of the reality. I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥
I've never paid close attention to how my tattoos heal but this was awesome to see the details of the process and makes me want to actually pay attention the next time I get ink. Looking forward to future videos!
Right? It's really neat, I think. More videos definitely coming! Any topics you'd be particularly interested in me exploring?
@@Inkademic I'd love too see something on if different inks have an effect on how a tattoo heals
Girl you should a video! Or this guy should! It would be interesting to see on different color skin. I’m Native American and Japanese and my artist uses vegan ink, and mine do look different, but not a lot.
Thank you so much! Really needed information. Also really appreciate your calm approach and voice, really made me feel calm! Have a good day :D
Wow...you have the most calming voice. I’m about to fall asleep listening to you.
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. 😂 If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
i wanna stay here forever, i can’t lie it’s pretty comforting
Thank you for so much helpful info. Put me at ease while going through the healing process of my tattoo.
I was stressed about other things when I started watching this video, and now I can't remember what I was stressed about because your voice is so relaxing, haha. Thank you. :)
Very relaxing. At first I hated him saying its fine but then it started to sink in. Thanks for calming me down
I'm the biggest hypochondriac in the world and I just got my first 2 tattoos. This is the best informative video, and your whole channel is really easing my mind!!!
Glad to hear it! ☺️
Is it PERFECTLY NORMAL to actually like this video 😂
I think so! 😁
I had my first tattoo two days ago and was kinda freaking out until I found your channel, it really helped me calm down and your voice is so nice! You should make a guide for beginners haha it would help a lot of people
What would you suggest would make up a video for beginners?
This was a GREAT informative video! Very well explained!
I just got my first tattoo a week ago, and I started scabing within 3 days, day 7 and externally my tattoo has completely healed, I heal weirdly fast when it comes to cuts, scabs, acne so on, I'm now at the itchy stage on day 9, it's cool to see different speeds of healing
I used the standard, temporary cover, wash then lotion, covered it for the first night sleep as we have cats, and then after that I didn't cover it, I just kept it clean and moisturised
Love watching your vids as they are so relaxing and reassuring :)
Take a shot every time he says “perfectly normal” 🤣
Noooooo you'll diiiieeeeee
Great vid I just got my first Tattoo done the day I typed this and it is some great advice this really helped I was worried about my tat losing color or skin breakage but now I know how to prevent that and keep my tat clean and looking good during the healing process thank u my friend for the help also keep up the good work 👍🏻
This was so incredibly helpful!! I just got my first tattoo, and bc of my anxiety I've been beyond paranoid about how its healing 😅 it's such a relief to know that thats what its supposed to look like! Thank you so much 🙏♥️
Your voice it's soooo calming!!!
Aw, thanks! It's just me being me. 😂 If you want to just hear me talk and zone out, I have an ASMR channel (that I totally ignore but I would love to flesh out): czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
i just recently got my second piece.its about 2.5 times the size of my first one i got over 2 years ago. this causing for more irritation and this video answered every question i have. i really appreciate you for making this it calmed me down so much
Glad to hear it! Just make sure you keep an eye on it, regardless, since this is really what's normal for me and maybe not everybody. Even on my various work, the healing processes have gone differently, so there's tons of variation even on the same person (which you're seeing now!).
Thank you for your calming and informative videos, everyone else make the process overwhelming
Your voice is really making me Calm and relax to listen to your talk about tattoos
I mean, if that makes you want to subscribe and watch my other videos, I'm not going to complain. 😂
Thank you so much! You're voice is very relaxing! ☺
hey man thanks i needed to see this i was worried about my tatts. feel better now
Wow ,you deserve much more subs,thank you!🖤
COULD NOT AGREE MORE. 😂
Your voice relaxes me so much omg
This guy's soft voice is so refreshing im so tired of being yelled at by youtubers on every video 😂
Even though I got lots of Tattoos (just got my chest piece two days ago so it's pretty fresh and will be starting to peel in a few days), I find this video really interesting. And also calming, because even when you're used to your tattoos being a hot mess while healing, sometimes you worry if everything is going to be fine. So thank you very much!
Exactly! I've been getting tattooed for twenty years and I'm still anxious (and I'm the one that made the video! 😅).
@@Inkademic but you seem sooo calm sbout it! 😱 Anyways, thank you for making videos, your content is really interesting and nicely made, keep it up! 😊
Just got a tattoo 2 days ago, loved the video. Your voice is so soothing 🥺 also, I like the little gifs that pop up😂
UGHH THANK YOU I WAS FREAKING OUT 😭😭
The last time I got tattooed I was 19 (currently 27) so I forgot the entire healing process and what things looked like, so this was great help to me on day 3 after my appointment
I'm glad it helped! I hope your work healed wonderfully 💘
I just got a tattoo a week ago bigger that I used to and this is so reassuring thank you !
P.s Your voice is so calm I love it 😀
I really just try to share some research-based content but if it helps you that makes me happy. 😊 Share with your friends! I also have an ASMR channel if you just want to hear me talk. czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
I got my first tattoo yesterday, this really eased my anxiousness of the healing process 😂
OMG, his voice is so soothing😍
your voice is making me so calm
When I got my first tattoo I was SO scared when it started shredding a few days after because no one ever told me that was a thing. And it was on my back so i couldn't see it, but my hand was full of little black pieces of skin. My second one is coming up so i started researching again to be more prepared than last time and believe me, all those times you said it was normal were absolutely necessary 😂 thank you so much for the video and pictures!!
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful.
This man is like Bob Ross but for tattoos
THANK YOU SO MUCH, my mom literally never told me this at all❤️
I could listen to your voice before bed. So soothing, great tips!
Once I got my color done, I was super weirded out by the onion skin, so thank you for being the voice of reason telling me it’s OK! 😍
New subscriber. Your channel is awesome. I watched a few and loved every one. Good and clear advice. Thank you for creating these videos. Here to stay 🙏🙏🙏💖
I just had a rough day...needed help for my first tattoo, this helped alot! Also it was very comfortable watching it! I have to admit i fell asleep in the middle of the video so i had to rewatch it 😂
If it weren't for SEO and whatnot, I'd totally pin this comment. 😅
Thank you for this video! I needed to be reassured, and your voice is super relaxing somehow haha
So tell me: how did it go?d
Inkademic good! a scab was pulled out too soon and sadly I have a missing ink spot but it's finally recovered :) you're so sweet for checking in on people who commented 😭
Inkademic have a good day !
@@zpp5412 Why wouldn't I? 😊 You took the time to find me and ask questions, so I want to make sure the permanent change to your body worked out the way you wanted. ♥
Also, I had a spot on Alice that blew up (I'll do a video on the details soon) but it's not a big deal. Touch-ups, right? :D
I’m seriously glad you talk about tattoos cause it helps my paranoid ass to not freak out
Thanks for this, it helped me to "normalize" my thoughts about my fresh tattoo 😌
Also a special thank you for your pronunciation and your diction ! All is very clear, calm and understandable for non-native english speakers ! 🙏🏻 (Following your channel from France 🇨🇵 😉)
Glad to hear it helped!
Even though I've already got a few healed tattoos, this video is immensely reassuring and informative. Thank you for sharing.
Great to hear 😊
really glad i found this video because i got my first tattoo and my tattoo artist didn't tell me when i could take off the wrap so i've been worried of harming the tattoo and i slept with the bandage on while losing SO much sleep over whether or not it was gonna be okay. thank you for your content!
Went to go subscribe to the channel and was so surprised to see only abt a thousand subs ???? Wack, deserves way more.
Thanks! Feel free to share far and wide. 😊
You have such a lovely, calm demeanor. Pleasure to watch and listen
i just got my first tattoo and didn’t know about scabbing until this morning. THANK YOU!
Very informative video. I just got my first tattoo today, now I know what to expect during the healing process. As others commented, you really have a beautiful voice.
Voice is so calming I could fall asleep to it thought I was watching soft asmr lol😂🤍
I do that! (Though I've been neglecting it lately. I really should do more...) czcams.com/channels/sEcBhCdBJs0Hz0QvV2NZcg.html
so therapeutic listening to this
thank you for easing my anxiety about the tattoo healing process i was getting worried about mine
just got my first tattoo yesterday and woke up this morning to it being raised and sore and immediately started freaking out. this calmed me down a lot i just gotta follow the steps and trust the process
Thanks for this man. My tattoo started to scab and I’m a bit worried. But seeing your vid really helps!
It's okay if it's scabbing that means it's healing just keep lotion on it and keep washing it. Don't cover it up it's got a heal..
This helped tremendously :) Thank-you!
I'm glad! ☺️
Omg the voice 😍 your amazing. Like listening to Bob Ross totally. Find my tattoo guy for sure. Thank you for being so settle. It helps and for my anxiety
This is the most relaxing voice all time
His voice is so calm I coulnd listen to him while sleeping
Bro ur voice calms me down. Love it
Oh my goodness thank you for this I’ve been stressing
You were awesome and very informative. Thank you!
Great video. Your voice is so calm and soothing.
Your voice is so calming. Thanks for the video. Getting my 2and tatoo soon. My 1st one is on my back so I couldn't really see the healing process.
Please can you ring me every morning to tell me my day is going to be great. BEST VOICE EVER!!
his voice is so so so soft and the way he talks is so calmed and relaxed his videos could be used to learn english
your voice is so calming
Great video! I was worried after took sanidern off on 4th day and lots of irritation. None of my other tattoos were like this but they were also not color so def having a different experience with healing color tattoos. Also I put on new latex fetish gloves on day 5 bcz excited for new latex and that was real dumb. They got irritated super quick from powder and latex tightness but it’s all good and will keep following my usual tattooist healing protocol that always speeds things along. Great video. So helpful and feel relieved 😌
I've had spots that were suuuuuper angry. To the point that I was worried it was infected. I trusted my body, though. I've also never used the Saniderm brand so I can't speak to that. I feel you, though!
I'm on Day 1 so thank you very much for such a helpful video! ❤
Your voice is so calming I love it so 😘
thank you so much, this video was very informative! :D
This man deserve thousands subscribers
I couldn't agree more. 😂 Share!ef
I look almost all the time at my fresh tattoo with my phone flashlight...😅 But this is way more detailed, thank u!
Anyone have a count on how many times he said “perfectly normal”?
Just trying to drive it home. 😅
take a shot every time he says it 😂
