just let it heal- it'll be fine.
The color is never as bright after healing as it is when it is first put on.

The color is bound to go away because its healed. When a tattoo heals it looks darker and bigger. After it was done peeling it will look smaller and lighter.Don't worry he/she didn't mess up. Just put some lotion on it it'll gice it a lil glow. If you are really concerned about the color then go get it colored over.

it's because you used lumberderm... the only thing my tattoo artist suggests is lotion...
it's the only thing he trust to put on it.
QUIT PUTTING THAT ON IT NOW THOUGH! just put lotion on it 2-3 times a day for the next 30 days.
it actually takes a total of 45 days for the skin to completely accept the ink. so if you've had it for two weeks then you have 30 days left...
good luck and sorry.

The color usually isn't as bright as it was when you first got it. If you dont like how it looks, you could go in for a touch up, like i had to do.
