Not all tattoos form scabs, and a tattoo that hasn't scabbed over is not necessarily a bad thing. Some tattoos peel, more similar to a sunburn than a flesh wound. This is actually a good thing, it means your tattooist probably knows what he/she is doing.

How long should you use jergens ultra healing on your new tattoo?
Until it heals properly with no sign of scabbing over.
How long after getting a tattoo will the scab form And after that how long will it take for it to fall off?
You can expect scabbing to start 2-5 days after your tattoo. Don't panic when ink seems to be flaking off in the scab- this is part of the healing process, and does not affect your tattoo most of the time. It is really important to not pick at the scabbing as your tattoo heals, this can distort the tattoo, and will require touch-ups. Gently apply a scant amount of scent free moisturizer once or twice a day. When you shower, pat dry your tattoo. Scabbing should be almost completely done in 5-7 days, but sometimes you'll still find scabbed tissue- again, don't pick at it, just let it fall off naturally.
What if scabbing comes off and tattoo looks like it is disappearing?
It may be because the color is coming out of the tattoo. if it bleeded really bad then this will more than likely happen. When your tattoo is scabing do not pull it off or scratch it. Let it fall off its self.

Can you peel off your tattoo?
how many times? use acid peel tattoo removal ? In my research of tattoos (and soon to be experience as i just got one), it is possible to peel off your tattoo in the early stages when it is scabbing. Therefore, don't pick at the "onion" flakes on your tattoo! But, if youre asing if you can pick it off so that you can get rid of it after it has healed, i believe the answer is no. You should consualt your doctor for laser removal (which can run you $600 a square inch). Hope this helps more than the above answer! If you pick at the scabs or peeling skin of a newly made tattoo you will damage it. You won't be able to peel the actual entire tattoo off that way, but you will remove a considerable amount of color and/or detail.

Can peeling the dead skin on a fresh tattoo ruin the tattoo?
Yes, in fact it can! Peeling off the skin is peeling off the freshly inserted colour. Scabbing and peeling has to happen on it's own, and you need to procrastinate it as much as possible. Lotioning helps to shove the colour that is bleeding out back into your skin. Lotion religiously, do NOT scratch, and do not peel it off. If you want your tat to be as colourful and gorgeous as possible at least.
