What is scratched tattoo?

A scratched tattoo refers to a tattoo that has received some form of damage due to scratching. This can happen due to various reasons, such as excessive rubbing or scratching of the skin, picking at scabs or dry skin, or accidentally bumping or scraping the tattooed area. Scratching can cause the ink to fade or blur, leading to an undesirable appearance of the tattoo. It may also increase the risk of infection if the wound caused by scratching is not properly sanitized. To prevent scratching, it is recommended to keep the tattoo clean and avoid touching or rubbing the area excessively. If the tattoo has been scratched, it is advisable to consult a professional tattoo artist for repair or touch-up.
