Hello everybody,

I'm glad to be a part of what seems like a very well informed and knowledgeable tattoo community/site. However i was hoping i would never have to post here because usually it means something might not be going as expected....or you want to show off a sick piece. Unfortunately for me it's not the latter of the two, although it is a sick piece lol. I guess i will do more searching to find if anybody has what i am experiencing and will be posting on other threads as well that way i can show you guys what is going on. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Anyways, thank you for this awesome community and you should be hearing from me soon!!

Mike

In my experience, once a tattoo healing goes south, best you can do is let it get through the healing process and get a touch up. Once a fat scan develops on a tattoo, that's a wrap, I've never been able to get that portion to heal right

It's not a huge deal, sometimes they heal perfect and other times you gotta go to touch up town, haha

These aren't the best pics...but this looks like it was severely overworked ....

I don't know the experience level your artist has, and I won't comment therefore....but, this looks poorly executed.

Let it heal..... COMPLETELY .... And get a second opinion from another shop. Seek out an experience Tattooer, and don't go in trashing on your man...but ask them what can be done......

There's always a chance the client mishandled the after care...but the application, tools and execution can make a mess out of anything if not handled with care.

Good luck with it...I'm sure you'll be alright....

This guy has been tattooing for about 35 years and is the owner of two reputable tattoo parlors in New York. He has even won multiple awards. He did 2 of my other tattoos that healed beautifully but they are black and grey (mostly shading). This is my first color tattoo, maybe my skin just isnt reacting nicely to the color ink. I highly doubt it was my artists fault but i can say he overworked some spots pretty hard because that shot hurt like a mother fucker after the first 3 hrs. I just hope it comes out fine. Right now i'm washing it 3 times per day with antibacterial dial soap, pat drying it, then air drying it then putting light coat of aquaphor on it after each wash (3 times). I hope that will do the trick. I don't want to let it completely dry heal because the scabs will crack and bleed.

I understand your frustration.....I'm not trying to insult your artist, but those credentials do not reflect in THAT tattoo.

Seeking out advice once it's healed as to what to do next is still a good choice.....

No disrespect intended man.....and again, good luck with it.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
