Today, I realised I was far too attached to my duvet. Literally. I just got a large tattoo on my back, and my duvet somehow stuck to my skin during the night and formed part of the scab. I now have the joy of deciding whether to tear it off fast or peel it away slowly. FML

OP here! Thanks for the funny comments! This actually happened a couple of years ago - it was my first tatt and was only told to rub it regularly with savlon until it healed, and to sleep on my stomach. I ended up jumping in the shower and soaked the duvet to peel off slowly. As seen from my profile pic it wasn't damaged in the end and turned out pretty damn sweet!

It is part of you now, best to move on and accept your new body.

I wouldn't do either. Get a spray bottle of water and wet it, hopefully that will detach it but don't rip it off, picking/pulling off the scabs can pull out the ink, and damage the tattoo.

That sounds like something a doctor should help with (in my personal opinion)

There's no way I'm the only person who had to google Duvet.

Ya your suppose to soak it. have fun having a spot where there is No ink.

Don't do either! Wet the duvet until it moistens the scab enough for it to willingly come off

Superman that ho? Sorry. *Hangs head in shame*

I don't blame you, the UK is pretty cold in winter. If I was still living there, I would never take my duvet off. I'd probably walk everywhere with it on me.

That's why you put something on to cover new tattoos as you sleep OP.
