When are tattoos supposed to peel?

I got my tattoo Saturday it is now Monday night, I've been following the after care instructions but it still has that "above my skin embelished" feel to it. when does that go away? also when did you begin applying lotion?

    Your tattoo is still fresh. It'll start peeling in a couple more days, but sometimes tattoos just don't peel.

    Generally after the tattoo is finished oozing excess ink and blood and plasma you can start using an unscented, dye free lotion. Usually 2-3 days.
